Olympiacos faces squad registration deadline for Europa League campaign

Olympiacos manager Jose Luis Mendilibar must trim his squad to meet UEFA list requirements for the upcoming Europa League campaign. New signing Armando 'La Hormiga' Gonzalez faces potential exclusion from List A as the club attempts to balance the 17-player quota for non-locally trained talent. The team must navigate strict regulations that limit the number of foreign players while ensuring depth in defensive and midfield positions. Club president Evangelos Marinakis has set a goal for the team to reach the final, requiring a roster that can withstand the demands of the league phase. Decisions regarding the futures of Dani Garcia, Chiquinho, and Bruno Onyemaechi remain ongoing as the club prioritizes squad composition. Mendilibar must determine if Gonzalez will be included or if central defensive depth will take precedence in the final submission.
