“It is a
great honor and joy for me to continue for another year as part of the REA
family. After four years with the club, I feel that this organization is much
more than just a team. It is a daily effort by people who work with passion,
consistency, and genuine love for women’s football.
First of
all, I would like to thank the REA management for their trust and support
throughout all these years. The renewal of our collaboration is a great
responsibility for me, but at the same time a strong motivation to continue
giving 100% every day, so that the team can keep developing and achieving its
goals in the Greek Women’s First Division.
At the same
time, I would like to bid farewell to an outstanding colleague and friend,
Stelios Kozanidis. I thank him for our cooperation, the moments we shared, and
everything he offered to REA over the years. I sincerely wish him good health
and every success in the next chapter of his journey, both personally and
professionally.
I would
also like to welcome our new head coach, Gianna Douka, and wish her health,
strength, and many successes with our team. Her philosophy, work ethic, and
dedication to football perfectly match the values and mentality of REA, and I
am confident that together we will work hard to continue making Rethymno proud.
REA needs
the support of everyone—the local community, institutions, and the people of
the city—in order to continue growing and remain a reference point for women’s
football in Greece. With unity, hard work, and belief, we can achieve even
more.”
