Former Greece and Panathinaikos football manager Vassilis Daniil dies

·

Vassilis Daniil, former coach of Greece and Panathinaikos, has died aged 87.

The Hellenic Football Federation and Panathinaikos expressed their condolences on Wednesday.

Daniil coached the Greek national team from 1999 to 2001, managing 30 matches with 14 wins, eight draws and eight losses.

He was succeeded by Otto Rehhagel, who later led Greece to its Euro 2004 triumph.

The two were near-contemporaries at the coaching academy in Cologne, Germany, where Rehhagel graduated a year after Daniil.

Born in Kavala in 1938, Daniil played for local clubs before moving into coaching.

He managed Panathinaikos on three occasions during the 1980s and 1990s, guiding the Athens club to a Greek league and cup double in 1991.
