Leonardo Jardim’s Olympiakos made it five wins from five courtesy of Spanish midfielder David Fuster’s first-half goal at the Peristeri Stadium on Saturday, keeping them three points ahead of Panionios who defeated AEK 1-0 on Sunday thanks to a 16th-minute strike by Leonidas Kabantais.
That result spelled the end of Vlachos’s tenure at AEK, with the club confirming his departure via a brief media statement on Sunday.
The 50-year-old former AEK player presided over one of the worst starts to a season in the club’s history with the Yellows losing four of their opening five games.
AEK are bottom of the table with just a single point, following an off-season of financial uncertainty in which they sold virtually their entire first-team squad.
