Nikos Athanasio writes about the “lesson” remarks made by the Serbian coach to Panathinaikos during his receiving the PSAPP award as best coach of last year’s tournament.

his existence Ivan Jovanovich In his PSAPP award he is the best “lesson” for every young coach who wants to make his mark from the bench. Ivan’s speech must be taughtI am from now on in training schools. At the same time, the words of the Serbian coach are the answer to the question “why his players Panathinaiko Dying on the grass for that coach? Anyone who hasn’t been able to “smell” the club’s locker room in the past two years has become a bystander to answer the above question.

Coach Jovanovic, regardless of his football ideas, regardless of the infection, regardless of his very good staff and the experience he has, is a measure of character management. of people. A measure of psychology, with behavior that first leads to a family and then a team. After all, its main feature APOEL And Panathinaikos, that’s exactly it: Gathering, unity, this “fist” is under the umbrella of the common goal.

In Coach Evan’s mind there is no “I”. Even when he has to pick up a personal award, the Coach of the Year award for last year’s tournament. As it happened tonight, in the concert hall. There is only “we”, the front of the jersey never the back, the shamrock in the heart and no name on the back. There all. That is why, in his first words, he spoke of his partners, and why he later twice deified his players.

“I also thank the footballers, some of them are here too and I’m happy about that. They deserve it. All the players are expressions of an idea and I thank them for what they give. The coach is always the point that connects the player to the goal. If I didn’t have players ready to achieve goals, we wouldn’t have achieved them.” We want players who have a goal, who want to make a mark and that’s how things get better for us.”

With the above words, Jovanovic ignited the best possible spark within the organization before the league resumed. He is not just the coach of this team, not just the technical leader. He is the good ‘father’ of this family and his personality mirrors that of Panathinaikos on the grass, with footballers willing to sacrifice their lives on the grass for him.
