Read up about coach Gino Lettieri. Appears to have an Italian passport but was born, played and coached the German speaking world (especially Switzerland). I personally never heard of him.
Still, an interesting mixture of nationalities in that team, that's for sure!
Unused sub in a 1-1 home draw verus Wisła Kraków
Korona Kielce are currently 3rd from bottom.
Themi has had 3 starts, and 6 bench appearances.
Unused sub in a 2-0 loss at Lechia Gdańsk
Full game as Korona Kielce get knocked out of Polish Cup by fellow top tier side Zagłębie Lubin, 0-1
5 mins off the bench late in a badly needed 1-0 win over 2nd placed Śląsk Wrocław.
Korona Kielce still 2nd last.
Not required off the bench is a 4-1 loss at last placed ŁKS Łódź.
Korona Kielce remain 2nd last only 1 point ahead of Łódź.
Looks like their is no automatic relegation from Polish top flight - elongated relegation playoffs at season end.
Unused sub in a 0-1 home loss to 2nd placed Wisła Płock
Korona Kielce remain 2nd last.
Stays on the bench in a 1-0 loss at Piast Gliwice.
Korona Kielce drop to last on the table.
Loan move to the Nix in Jan? I'd be all for it!
Well his AWs days are probably over. He may have retired from international football anyway..
Lots of CB/DM depth (even if Reid is not fit).
Watches from the bench as Korona get off the bottom of the table with a 1-0 win over Zagłębie Lubin
Just had an epiphany...we could bring him in come January as extra CB cover...
Stays on the bench for a 4-0 spanking at Legia Warszawa (3rd)
Themi 4 appearances, and 225 mins for Korona Kielce this season. However no actual game time for over 2 months (end of Sept).
At 34 years old now, maybe just happy to have a football contract, and be a squaddie. AWs days surely over.
Korona had a solid 3-0 win last week, and were unbeaten in 3 games until today. Sit 13th of 16 teams in Ekstraklasa
Polish winter break is 21st Dec to 7th Feb 2020.
Back in Greece, I note Themi's old club of many years Giannina are currently 2nd in the Greek 2nd tier. Season is only 6-7 games old, so I presume some usual Greek football scheduling/refereeing dispute thing going on.
Played first half in a 0-1 loss to Arka Gdynia (13th).
Same score at HT.
Korona drop to 14th.
Was Themi's first minutes for over 2 months (since end Sept).
Two more weeks for the Polish league, before winter break.
Comes off the bench in 93rd minute for a 1-0 win over Cracovia Kraków (4th).
Korona (14th) had two players sent off at 40 mins & 75 mins - which might have affected Themi's chances of getting on earlier.
A game of 9 yellows and 3 reds. Just like the old times in Greece for Themi.
One more league game before the winter break.
Full game in a 1-0 away at 3rd placed Pogon Szczecin
Korona with only 32% possession, had a player sent off at 46 mins. They go up to 13th with the win
Winter break now in Poland
Polish season restarts, and Themi watches from the bench as Korona draw 0-0 with KS Górnik Zabrze
Full game in a 1-0 win over bottom of the table ŁKS Łódź
First start in quite a while.
Korona 14th or 3rd last.
Only 4 more games and then bottom 8 teams go into a relegation round.
FYI - Themi's old Greek side Giannina have a healthy 7 point lead in Greek 2nd Div. Wouldn't surprise to see Themi back there if they got promoted.
Polish league restarts this coming weekend.
Polish league resumes.
Themi full game in a 4-1 win away at Wisła Płock (12th).
Korona 14th (3rd last).
Full game for Themi as Korona (14th) lose 1-2 to Piast Gliwice (2nd).
Korona were down to 10 men from the 27th minute.
Looks like league splits into a Championship and Relegation Round (mostly probably include Korona) in a few weeks.
Full game as Korona (14th) draw 1-1 away at Zagłębie Lubin (9th)
Full game for Themi as Korona (14th) lose 0-3 to Lech Poznań (4th).
Looks like next is the Relegation Round for Korona.
Full game as Korona lose 3-2 at Górnik Zabrze in their first match of the Relegation Round.
Korona lead 2-1 until the 87th min.
Both teams had a player sent off each at 57 mins.
Themi with a yellow. Only his 2nd of the season! Though admittedly he's made just 13 appearances so far at Korona.
Back in Greece, looks like is only 2 rounds to go in the Greek 2nd tier (restarts 28th June), and Themi's old club Giannina lead by 7 points. So presume their promotion back to Greek Super League is confirmed. Again wouldn't surprise to see him return to Giannina, if they are promoted.
Full game in a 0-1 loss to Raków Częstochowa.
Korona are in a relegation dogfight with Arka Gdynia. Gdynia won today, so go 3 points ahead of Korona, who now lie 2nd last.
They play each other in 10 days.
Bottom 2 teams being relegated from what I can see. 5 rounds to go.
Scoring goals has been the problem for Korona this season. With only 23 goals from 32 league games. Worst in the Polish top flight.
Full game and a yellow, in a 2-1 loss to Zagłębie Lubin.
Fortunately relegation rivals Arka Gdynia, also lost.
They play each other in a week.
Of course if Korona go down, will be Themi's 2nd relegation in 2 seasons. Two different clubs, two different countries.
Full game and the 81st minute equaliser, in a 1-1 draw with relegation rivals Arka Gdynia.
Themi's first goal in Poland.
9 yellows in the game so a bit of feeling. Like being back in Greece.
Korona stay 3 points behind Gdynia with 3 rounds left.
Themi's old club Giannina now confirmed as promoted back to the Greek Super League.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAS_Giannina_F.C.
PAS Giannina was first when the championship was suspended. On 22 June 2020, it was announced that the ranking on 12 March 2020 is the final ranking. PAS Giannina was promoted to Superleague 1.[34]
Full game and the 81st minute equaliser, in a 1-1 draw with relegation rivals Arka Gdynia.
Themi's first goal in Poland.
Game highlights.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR9E7Ns-s3s&feature=onebox
Goal with the head of course.
Korona's coach with the look of a night club bouncer, sent to the stands earlier.
Full game in a 1-1 draw with Wisła Kraków.
Kraków had a player sent off at 30 mins, when Korona were 1-0 down, and they equalised soon after at 34 mins. But no all important 2nd goal.
Relegation rivals Arka Gdynia had a 3-2 win yesterday, and are now 5 points ahead of Korona with 2 games left.
So Korona (GD -19) now need nothing less than 2 wins to avoid the drop, plus require Arka Gdynia (GD -18) to get no more than a point in their final 2 games. Long shot.
Next up for Korona is Cillian Sheridan's Wisła Płock. Sheridan & Themi actually faced off back in late May when, Korona triumphed 4-1, their last victory. Themi should try sledge Sheridan in his best thick Kiwi accent, could be off putting for the Irishman.
Sadly relegation confirmed for Themi's Korona (his 2nd in 2 seasons over Greece & :Poland), with a 3-1 loss at Wisła Płock.
Full game and a yellow for Themi.
One game left, then maybe a return to Greek football? Retirement?
Edit - just checked and note he signed a 2 year contract with Korona, July last year.
Not in match day squad as Korona finish their season with a 2-0 win over last placed ŁKS Łódź.
Both sides have been relegated to the Polish 2nd tier.
Edit - should add that last week Sheridan, played full game against Korona for Wisła Płock.
Interesting little story about Themi's club - sounds like things are pretty average behind the scenes to say the least
https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/hv8ynm/korona_kielce_fans_are_fighting_for_the_existence/
Not much of a break (I guess that will come over the Polish winter), as Korona start life in the 2nd tier with a 2-0 loss in a cup game, against Kalisz (from Polish 3rd tier). 2nd goal conceded at 91 mins.
Looks like Cup comp is some sort of group format, at this early stage.
Full game I think for Themi, from Korona's twitter.
Note Eric Molloy (Ex Tee Dubs) was playing in Polish 2nd tier last season for Stomil Olsztyn. But he may have been released for the new season.
Korona start their new season in the Polish 2nd tier with a 1-1 draw against Chrobry Głogów
Themi wasn't in match day squad.
After being a real league of Nations side in the Polish top flight, looks like they have shed most of their foreign players now they have been relegated to the 2nd tier. Only 2 of their match day squad in this game weren't Poles. Someone else posted that the club had money issues, so not surprising they have gone local.
Anyway seems Themi's is making an effort with the language. Always smiling the Kiwi/Greek.
Korona with a 3-2 win over Jastrzębie in Polish 2nd tier (I Liga).
Looks like Themi got a full game. Interesting photos in their twitter feed. Smoke, that night club bouncer coach, and a nice looking stadium for a club struggling for cash apparently.
Korona with a 0-0 draw at Puszcza Niepołomice.
Themi subbed at 78 mins.
the club that Myer Bevan trialled at last year - small world
Not in match day squad as Korona lose 0-2 to Górnik Łęczna.
Not in match day squad as Korona (10th) draw 1-1 at Miedź Legnica (9th)
Not in match day squad as Korona (13th) lost 0-3 to Nieciecza (2nd).
Presume he's injured and obviously being missed.
