Ivan Jovanovic to coach Greek national soccer team

·

The Greek Soccer Federation (EPO) has officially announced Ivan Jovanovic as the new head coach of the national team.

Jovanovic, who previously coached the Greek powerhouse Panathinaikos, will now focus on leading the national team’s effort to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

The Serbian coach reached an agreement with the EPO in June.

This marks Jovanovic’s second tenure managing a national team. His previous stint with the United Arab Emirates ended prematurely in December 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the team not having played a single match under his leadership.

In December last year, Jovanovic was succeeded by Fatih Terim as head coach of Panathinaikos, after having guided the team to a Greek Cup victory in the 2021-2022 season and securing a second-place finish in the 2022-2023 season.
