Latest news from Olympiacos. The Greeks are considering a change in the dugout and are evaluating the names of Marcelino García Toral and Eder Sarabia as possible replacements for José Luis Mendilibar. This situation arises after the elimination of the Hellenic team against NEC Nijmegen in the Champions League preliminary phase on August 11.

Olympiacos questions Mendilibar's continuity

The defeat against NEC has opened the door for a change at Olympiacos. The Greek team lost 2-1 after extra time in Nijmegen and was ousted from the Champions League before reaching the playoff round.

The result represents a setback for Mendilibar's project, as he has been leading Olympiacos since February 2024. The club officially recalls that the coach took over in that month after his spell at Sevilla.

The continuity of the Basque coach had remained stable during the summer planning. In fact, in July, Mendilibar was still preparing the European list and working with a squad of 31 players, according to the Greek press.

The elimination now changes the landscape. Olympiacos must decide whether to keep Mendilibar to face the rest of the season or to pursue an alternative before the domestic competition progresses.

Marcelino and Eder Sarabia, the alternatives

Marcelino García Toral is among the options being considered by Olympiacos. The Spanish coach has experience with various teams in LaLiga and also in European competitions, although there have been no negotiations with him so far.

The other possibility is Eder Sarabia, who is currently without a club after leaving Elche. The Elche club recently confirmed that the coach decided to step down after achieving promotion to La Liga and subsequently securing survival.

Sarabia left Elche after completing a two-season cycle with specific sporting objectives: promotion to La Liga and remaining in the top tier. His availability would facilitate a potential negotiation if Olympiacos decides to expedite the change.

The decision is pending following the European elimination

The schedule could influence the resolution. Olympiacos will no longer have to prepare for a Champions League playoff round, while NEC Nijmegen will continue in the competition and face Bodø/Glimt on August 18.

For Mendilibar, the elimination comes after a European campaign that ended before the club's target. The coach had led the team in the preliminary round and had specifically prepared for the tie against the Dutch team.

Now, Olympiacos must decide whether the European setback warrants a change. Marcelino and Eder Sarabia are the names being considered as alternatives while Mendilibar awaits the club's decision.
