At the end of the match against Samsunspor (0-0), Rui Vitória was confronted with the behavior that Fotis Ioannidis had towards the fans. In response to the question, the former coach of Benfica chose not to discuss the matter much, claiming that the deal - the Greek is being linked to Sporting - is not yet finalized.
With qualification assured, the coach of the Athenian club was asked about Fotis Ioannidis, who bid farewell to the fans on the pitch, however, the Portuguese managed to 'dodge' the question: "In this specific case I don't want to talk about Ioannidis because I don't like to talk about what is not finalized".
With Renato Sanches at the helm, Rui Vitória preferred to talk about the signings made by Panathinaikos: "Generally, I can say that we made the transfers we wanted, and I am very satisfied with the young players who arrived....everyone wants to play at the highest level and win titles".
Finally, the former helmsman of the red and whites admitted he is happy with the squad he has, stating that at this moment he has the possibility to make a good rotation of the Greek team's squad: "I believe that at this moment I can make two elevens of great quality".
Remember that Panathinaikos is in the league phase of the second largest European competition, after leaving behind one of the sensation teams of the Turkish championship. On their side, Sporting insists on signing the star of the former Benfica coach, presenting a final proposal of 22 million euros fixed, plus 3M€ for objectives.
