Squad26 Oct 2026

Michalis Manias breaks a bone — 63 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 63 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Athens Kallithea count the cost of losing Giancarlo

18 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Athens Kallithea

Bernard Karrica and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Words at Athens Kallithea training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Camilo Cantillo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match24 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Athens Kallithea against Olympiacos B

0‑2 to Olympiacos B, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Juan Camilo Cantillo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Thanasis Kourbelis answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Miloš Kapur dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Looking ahead26 Oct 2026

A reunion for Kosmas Gezos

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Panionios in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A fracture rules Michalis Manias out for 79 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Athens Kallithea will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Athens Kallithea

Bernard Karrica was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Endika

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Endika, and the manager let it.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Athens Kallithea are still strangers to each other

16 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Frixos Grivas falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Giancarlo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Giancarlo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market12 Oct 2026

Experience through the door at Athens Kallithea

Federico Sardella arrives at 38 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Market12 Oct 2026

Juan Camilo Cantillo linked with a move away

The name of Juan Camilo Cantillo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Athens Kallithea say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

The manager makes Miloš Kapur a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Athens Kallithea. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Athens Kallithea

Bernard Karrica and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words at Athens Kallithea training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Camilo Cantillo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Wages swallow 259% of the Athens Kallithea income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Match3 Oct 2026

Cayetano Bolzán sends Athens Kallithea past Ilioupoli

It finished 2‑0, and it was Cayetano Bolzán’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Athens Kallithea.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Ninety minutes of Giannis Gerolemou at his very best

Marked 8.30. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Athens Kallithea.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A month that belonged to Cayetano Bolzán

The young player of the month award goes to a 20-year-old at Athens Kallithea who has looked like the finished article for four weekends running. The next four are the ones that decide whether he is.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Home is on Constantine Edlund's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Athens Kallithea are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Thanasis Kourbelis: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Juanmi's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

In brief
