Middentorp, Muslin, Nikolaou, Ogios, Krismarevic, Stoilov, Levi (twice), Christodoulou, Cassianos, Costa, Kostenoglou, Paus, Milinkovic, Larkoure Poutse, These are the 16 coaches who failed to “chase” the & # 8230; ghost Timur Ketspaia hovering over the Anorthosis building since Spring 2009, something the blue and whites hope Darko Milanic will be able to achieve.
As the above list grew and Ketspaia continued to be the last successful coach of the “Lady”, the desire of her fans for his return increased. The failures followed one another, to the point that many were convinced that only Georgianos could get the blue and whites back on track. Coincidentally or not, they were confirmed. Return to Ketspaia, claiming a championship, winning a cup, entering a European group. In his third year he failed miserably and now it seems that his circle is closed for good. It seems, because if he follows what followed after the end of his first term, the… ghost is likely to return.
Milanic is therefore the one who is called to put an end to this story and become the first coach in the last twenty years to lead Anorthosis to success without being called Timur Ketspaia. Easy, it is not. But not impossible. His six leagues (and three trophies) in his nine seasons at Maribor show that he knows how.
And do not believe that he was holding a team that was already sovereign in the country – he made it so. Receiving it in 2008, Maribor was already counting five seasons without a championship (four without any trophies), while last season it was left out of Europe. He led her from the top to the top, while in the next four years he won three more championships and a second place, leading her to four cup finals, of which he won three, while putting her twice in the Europa League groups. In his second (four-year) term, he counted two more championships and entry into the Champions League groups.
