Raúl Baena asks to leave Kifisia
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Jorge Pombo in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kifisia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Kifisia training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rubén Pérez 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.
Match7 Nov 2026
A bad afternoon for Kifisia against Panathinaikos
0‑2 to Panathinaikos, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The manager makes an example of Moisés Ramírez
“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.

One of our own: Anastasios Georgiadis joins the Kifisia first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Anastasios Georgiadis is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Thanasis Papastathopulos to a room that had heard them before.

The form table has caught Raúl Baena
Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
Looking ahead9 Nov 2026
Kifisia take on the side everybody is chasing
Olympiacos arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.
In brief
- The dugout Tasos Donis gets picked when it counts
- Looking ahead A reunion for Alexandros Anagnostopoulos
- Player ratings Ché Nunnely was unplayable
