Former AEK Athens defender Traianos Dellas, 37, has been appointed as AEK Athens FC’s new coach until the end of the season.
A Euro 2004 winner with Greece, takes over from German Ewald Lienen, who left the club on April 9, according to Reuters.
“AEK Athens FC announces the start of its cooperation with the coach Traianos Dellas,” said AEK in a statement. “Mr. Dellas is a player who has written his own page in the history of AEK during his time with the club and he has agreed to take over the coaching role until the end of the season.”
The club also announced former AEK players Akis Zikos and Vassilis Borbokis would be assistant coaches.
Dellas made over 150 appearances for AEK in three separate spells with the club from 1999-2012.
