Lemonis returns to take charge at Olympiakos

Experienced Greek coach Takis Lemonis has been appointed for a third time as head coach of Olympiakos, the Super League champion said on Thursday.

The 57-year-old, who coached the Piraeus club from 2000-2002 and again from 2006-2008, replaces the sacked Portuguese Paulo Bento, who departed earlier this month after a poor string of results.

Araujo made the difference for AEK over PAOK

Argentine striker Sergio Araujo scored a brace to lead AEK to a 3-0 triumph over 10-man PAOK on Sunday and into the play-off positions, while Olympiakos ended its losing streak beating Atromitos.

Much as most of the Super League matches were competitive, one cannot help noticing that this was another poor weekend in terms of goals, with just 10 in seven games.

Three strikes and you're out: Olympiakos sacks manager Bento

Just seven days after Olympiakos raised its shield of protection for its manager Paulo Bento, on Monday the champion announced the sacking of the former Portugal coach in the aftermath of the 2-0 defeat at PAOK on Sunday.

Under-20 team coach Vassilis Vouzas is taking over on a caretaking basis, the club added.
