Former Greece captain Theodoros Zagorakis has announced the end of his playing career in order to put together a consortium of investors to take over his current club PAOK.
The 35-year-old, who captained Greece to victory at Euro 2004, said he expected to take control of the club tomorrow.
“Taking into account the settlement of the debts, I am in a position to announce that as of Monday June 18, I will be running the club,” he said in a statement. “I think it is high time I retired although it was a very difficult decision. It took endless hours of reflection.”
DF: We will miss you on the soccer field. Thank you for making us proud! Good luck with PAOK.
