Olympiacos and Mentilimbar continue their partnership into the new season, with Costas Karapapas, the vice president of the club, publicly clarifying the administration's stance regarding the coach and the team's future. Karapapas emphasized the respect the club must show Mentilimbar, a significant figure in Olympiacos's history.

Vice President's Statement

«I want to say this because I hear and read what is being said about Mentilimbar and others. There are people in the journey of a club who are more than their position. What we all need to show, from the Olympiacos administration, our fans, journalists, and the entire sports community, is respect for a man who, regardless of whether he leaves in three years, eight years, or fifteen years, is a part of a legendary history we hope to repeat. This history was written by this man, and he is a part of this history that we need to cherish. Therefore, we must all be more restrained towards him. He has earned it with his sword. I clearly stated before that the design we will implement will be a better Olympiacos for everyone, which we all look forward to seeing on the fields with the elements we have always wanted. These elements are a team that is aggressive and passionate. That is what Olympiacos is by nature.»
