For a man who clearly loves a Souvlaki, Evangelos Marinakis does strangely loves a white t shirt. That Lear jet must be busy flying between Athens & Nottingham at the moment.
That’s the end of Stamenic’s time at the club. Loan complete. There were some good performances, there were some winners medals, there were some hearty celebrations. There were also a lot of annoying stretches where he hardly played and had to cope with the ruthless Greek media hyperanalysing his every move. All combined he made 23 appearances for the club (adding up to 943 minutes) across the Super League, the Greek Cup, and the Europa League. He’ll have gained plenty from this season but it was a frustrating one on the whole. Now it’s over.
But not before Marko Stamenic completed an absolutely incredible feat, winning league and cup doubles in three consecutive countries in three consecutive years. It happened in 2022-23 with FC København in Denmark. It happened in 2023-24 with Crvena zvezda in Serbia. It’s happened in 2024-25 with Olympiacos in Greece. This is near-impossible to research but you’ve gotta imagine there aren’t too many folks who’ve done that before. It’s certainly never happened on this scale for a New Zealander. It Stamenic never wins another trophy in his career, he’ll still be one of the most decorated players we’ve ever produced. Plus who’s to say he won’t make it four in a row next season in another country.
