I played for several teams in the Greek professional leagues. At the age of 29 I stopped playing and focused on studying football coaching. I have been head coach of several semi-pro football teams in Greece and worked as a technical director in the Academies of DOXA Dramas (Greek football league, 2nd division).
I have written 7 other books
including:
FC Barcelona: A Tactical Analysis - Attacking and Defending. (English, Spanish, Japanese & Korean), Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid:
A Tactical Analysis - Attacking and Defending
. (English & Japanese), FC Barcelona Training Sessions - 160 Practices from 34 Tactical Situations and Jurgen Klopp's Attacking and Defending Tactics.
Analysing games tactically is a great love and strength of mine. I think
teams have success only when they prepare well tactically.
I have watched Barcelona in most of their league and Champions league
matches for the last seven years and less frequently over the past twenty
years. I believe that this Barcelona side is by far the best Barcelona I have
ever seen in regard to their attractive style of play and success in
becoming the best side in the world. I have analysed Barcelona’s tactics for
this book, which together with the teams’ incredible technical ability allows
Barca to perform their attractive brand of football.
I watched every Barcelona game in the 2010-11 season creating a
set of highly detailed notes on each. I watched many of the matches
over 20 times. The matches were separated according to the
opposing team’s formation.
This book is made up of over a 1000
hours of extensive tactical research and analysis of Guardiola’s Barcelona
side
