A disappointing defeat away at NEC as Olympiacos settle with a relegation to Europa League. Injuries, Fortounis red card, terrible game management, and an incomplete roster all led to what we saw today.Time for a therapy session as we digest what we saw, prepare ourselves mentally for Europa League, and discuss next steps to rectify the problems in the roster before the season begins.

There's a lot of stress in the red and white community. The team is incomplete, preseason seemed disjointed, and the 1st leg against NEC looked like a continuation of last season.

UCL Qualifiers are HERE! The 1st leg against NEC Nijmegen is this week and Olympiacos is still in the midst of transfer movement. The arrivals of Sa and Ortega have continued to reinforce the roster but more outgoings and struggles bringing players in continue to hamper positivity. Today we're talking about NEC Nijmegen, Sa, both Ortegas, and the moves we still have yet to make this summer.

A lot is happening with 9 days before UCL qualifiers. Olympiacos is losing their starting goalkeeper, possibly selling Andre Luiz for a record fee while still missing core pieces . Nijmegen waits around the corner and the team has not impressed much in preseason. With injuries throughout the squad, a potential Jose Sa return, and the arrival of a #8 expected, what is our outlook for UCL?

It's been a wild week and weekend for Olympiacos fans as a "marquee" signing that we have been waiting for since beginning of the summer had his deal collapse at the end. Petar Stanic no longer on Olympiacos's radar as the club pursues other options. Joel Roca will arrive from Girona for an over €5 million fee with Giannoulis still a potential option and other signings still needed. Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts on Petar Stanic's deal collapse and Joel Roca!

Olympiacos are back for 2026/27 and the first preseason friendly already gave us plenty to talk about.We were in Holland to watch Olympiacos beat Raków 2–1 after going behind, with Kostas Fortounis scoring a trademark free-kick and Roman Yaremchuk completing the comeback in stoppage time.In this video: first impressions from Olympiacos’ opening preseason match, Rodinei’s sharp return, Pablo Maffeo’s first minutes, Clayton’s struggles, Scipioni and Mouzakitis in midfield, the Yaremchuk striker question, and why Fortounis could be one of the most important “signings” of the summer.

The first preseason training sessions have completed with phase one continuing this week. Transfers continue to flow with Zinedin Smajlovic arriving to reinforce the backling and Jota Silva and Joel Roca expected to join preseason this week. Things are moving along but there's still plenty more transfer action ahead of us!

It's TRANSFER SUMMER for all members of the Marinakis Football Group. After some disappointment and relief for some at the end of the seasons, everyone is looking forward to what's to come as each club plans for next season.- Current Events at Each Club- Transfer Situations At Each Club- Promotion of Tognozzi/ Departure of Lina Souloukou-Cautiously Optimistic About Next Season?Follow Matt Davies @Forest-Focus and on X/FacebookFollow Joao Meneses at Reis Do Ave on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blogueReisdoAve/
