Olympiacos are closing in on a sellout at Karaiskakis Stadium for Saturday's Greek Super League match against OFH as Imanol Alguacil makes his managerial debut.
The Piraeus club announced that only 3,500 tickets remain available for the matchday four fixture on September 12. Supporters are rushing to secure tickets to welcome the new head coach following a sudden managerial change on the bench earlier this week.
The transition follows the departure of former head coach Jose Luis Mendilibar on Wednesday night, September 9. Olympiacos management decided to end their cooperation with Mendilibar after a disappointing draw against Volos at Panthessaliko Stadium in matchday three, a result that generated a heavy atmosphere around the team.
Managerial change in Piraeus
Alguacil now takes charge of the team with responsibility for building the squad's future and introducing a new tactical system. The fixture against visiting side OFH has gained extra importance for Olympiacos due to the change on the bench, with the club seeking a positive result to restart their league campaign.
Olympiacos, based in the port city of Piraeus near Athens, are one of the most prominent football clubs in Greece. They compete in the Stoiximan Super League, the highest division of professional football in the country. Home matches are played at Karaiskakis Stadium, a venue known for its passionate crowds during domestic and European fixtures.
Opponents OFH, based in Heraklion on the island of Crete, travel to Piraeus for the fourth round of the league schedule. The Stoiximan Super League season features 14 teams competing across regular season fixtures and playoff rounds.
Ticket demand at Karaiskakis Stadium
Olympiacos confirmed that remaining ticket inventory is selling quickly as fans prepare to fill the venue. The club expects a capacity crowd at the stadium on Saturday, with supporters eager to show their backing for the new coach, the squad, and the organization as Alguacil begins his tenure.
