Hernan Losada has really changed Apollon’s results since he took over the Limassol team. He started strong, reminding fans of the team’s great performances from 6-7 years ago.
The Argentine coach is clearly following in Sofronis Avgousti’s footsteps, leading Limassol on an exciting journey full of hope.
So far, his record is perfect:
8 wins in 8 matches across all competitions, including one victory in extra time against Omonia Aradippou. Losada’s Apollon scored in every game, totaling 16 goals, and kept a clean sheet in five matches. This shows how balanced the team is.
In the league, they have six wins, and in the cup, they secured two victories by eliminating Anorthosis and Omonia Aradippou. This performance brings back memories of Apollon’s 2019-20 season under Sofronis Avgousti.
Back then, the Limassol team had an amazing unbeaten streak of 12 games in league and cup. It started on November 3, 2019, with a 3-0 away win over ENP and ended on January 29, 2020, with a 2-1 victory over APOEL at GSP in the cup. During that time, Apollon achieved ten straight wins: seven in the league and three in the cup. The streak ended against AEL on February 2, 2020, when AEL won 2-0 in the Limassol derby.
The story seems to be repeating itself as Hernan Losada looks ready to write his own chapter at Apollon. He has already set the stage for a season filled with high hopes and big dreams.
