Winner and figure of last year’s Europa League, in which he led Sevilla to glory by beating Roma on penalties in the final, Mendilibar arrived in Greek Piraeus in February as a free agent after being fired by the Seville club. There, on the other side of Europe, he has once again been a protagonist in football on the ‘Old Continent’ with an Olympiacos that plays in his image and likeness.

In the semifinals he surpassed Unai Emerey and his Aston Villa to put the red and white club in its first European final. The second from ‘Mendi’ in less than 1 year. They may not be the favorites, but with Zaldívar at the helm, nothing can be taken for granted. And even less playing “at home”, in the OPAP Arena in the Greek capital.

Olympiacos finished third in the Greek Super League, six points behind the champion, PAOK, after drawing 2-2 with Panathinaikos away from home on the last matchday, on the 19th. The red and whites are thus assured of their presence in the Conference League. next year, although if they manage to beat the Italian team this Wednesday, they will obtain a place in the Europa League.

On the other bench will be Vincenzo Italiano, one of the most valued technicians in Italy. A case similar to that of Gian Piero Gasperini, coach of Atalanta and brand new champion of the Europa League, because he lacks a title to materialize his great work in Florence, something that Gasperini has already achieved.

The ‘Fiore’ does not have pending accounts with Olympiacos, but it does with the Conference League. Last season they fell short after losing in the final against West Ham, just a week after losing the Italian Cup final. This season they fell short of the cup final, but after beating Belgian club Brugge in the semi-finals they reached the European final.

The ‘Viola’, although with more experience in European finals than their Greek rival, have only won one of the four they have played. Last season he broke a 33-year drought without playing for a continental title, as he played in the 1990 UEFA Cup final against Juventus; but this year he wants to break the 64-year drought without winning a title outside of Italian borders, since the last and only one was the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1960.

The 2001 Italian Cup was the last trophy that the Tuscan team celebrated. With their presence in the next Conference League assured, ‘Fiore’, eighth in Serie A, seeks to compete in the Europa League with a victory against the Greeks. For this, Italiano has its entire team except for the well-known absence of Riccardo Sottil, who broke his collarbone 2 months ago.

In attack, the Argentine Nico González is again positioned as the great leader and the greatest danger, although the forward line had other in-form players such as his compatriot Lucas Beltrán, the Italian Andrea Belotti or the Ivorian Christian Kouame.
