After the 5-3 loss to Omonia, Artem Ratskov didn’t seem ready to take the blame. He also seemed unfazed by the fans’ reactions when asked about it at the press conference.
The Belarusian coach is following the non-Cypriot approach of his employer. Kostas Papadopoulos mentioned on a radio show yesterday that Aris reviews coaches at the end of the season.
Anyone else in his shoes would likely do the same. They wouldn’t think about resigning, knowing their boss supports them until May.
The big question is whether “the man who is not a robot” (as he said after his wild celebration following the 2-0 win over Apollon) will find a way forward. This starts with the derby against AEL this Sunday.
The green team was knocked out by the blue and yellow team in the cup competition last week.
We believe that at Aris, the main issue holding the team back from their goals is instability. This is partly due to Mr. Ratskov’s poor management of the roster he has.
