To part company with one manager in a week may seem normal for Evangelos Marinakis. Two might appear excessive, even by his standards. But Michel resigned at Olympiacos on Tuesday: the serial Greek champions are now looking for their fourth manager of the campaign, perhaps to be followed by a fifth.
Admittedly, the first of them, Pedro Martins, lasted 52 months, which, given Marinakis’ impatience, may be a greater feat of longevity than Sir Alex Ferguson surviving for 26 years at Manchester United. But there is something strange that in the sacking season in the Premier League, the Nottingham Forest owner has not joined in. Not yet, anyway.
