José Anigo, the former French defender has been appointed as the Director of Football for Olympiacos. He is set to join his former Marseille teammate Míchel who is the manager of Olympiacos.
During his playing days Ago was a tough defender and spent most of his career with OM. He then turned to management and has managed teams across France, Tunisia and Greece.
However, he is best known for his player scouting and development. He played a part in the development/recruitment of Samir Nasri, Seydou Keita, Mathieu Flamini, Andre and Jordan Ayew.
The Legend announced: “PAE Olympiacos announces that Jose Anigo takes over as Director of Football.
“Anigo, alongside his new role, remains the director of the Olympiakos Academy and will link the operation of the first team, the second team and the infrastructure departments.”
Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis said: “I would like to introduce José Anigo, who has already been with us for four years. He will be the football manager. A man with huge experience in European football, with huge successes, with players who worked with him. He will be close to us, he will be next to Mitchell with his experience and with his knowledge to help as much as possible. Christian Karebe is with us, forever. A man who both loves the club and offers every day. And also another Mitchell partner who has started with us this year, Abraham Papadopoulos. A child in whom I have blind trust. He loves the club and will be with us for many years. These are partners in whom I trust and have daily contact. Mitchell also knows them from the past.”
