History

Early years and domestic success

The team named Olympiacos was founded on March 10, 1925, when the members of the "Piraeus Football Club" and the "Piraeus Fan Club" decided, during a historical assembly, to dissolve the two clubs in order to establish a new unified one, with the young olympic games winner boy as their eblem. Notis Kamberos announced the name Olympiacos and Michalis Manouskos completed it to its full name, Olympiacos Club of Fans of Piraeus. The Andrianopoulos brothers, however, were those who significantly raised the reputation of the club and added glory to it. Children of a prosperous family, they made the name of Olympiacos known over Greece. Yiannis, Dinos, Giorgos, and Vassilis were the first to play. Leonidas made his appearance later on, and played for a short time. The club's offensive line, made up of the five brothers, soon became legendary and, hence, Olympiacos is also known as Thrylos (Legend), after this classic side of the 1930s which won a hatful of titles. Olympiacos immediately caught the attention of locals, with the team filling the Piraeus Velodrome (now the Karaiskákis Stadium); back then their fanbase consisted mainly of the working class.

In 1926 the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) was founded and in 1927 organized the first Greek Championship. However in the following season (1928-29) Olympiacos came to a dispute with the Hellenic Football Federation and did not participate. Panathinaikos and AEK Athens decided to follow Olympiacos, and together they formed a group called P.O.K.. During that season they played friendly games with each other. The second Greek Championship took place in 1929-30, with the champions of the regional leagues of Athens, Piraeus and Thessaloniki playing in playoff in order to determine the national champion. Up to 1958-59 the Greek Championship, then known as the Pan-Hellenic Championship, was organized this way. The first championship as a national league was held in the 1959-60 season.

Olympiacos won the Greek title for the first time in the 1930-31 season. It was going to be a very successful era. By 1940, Olympiacos had already won six Championships in eleven seasons and by 1960 they had won fifteen Championships in twenty-three seasons, as well as nine National Cups, making for six Doubles. The legendary Olympiacos team of the 1950s, with key performers such as Andreas Mouratis, Elias Rossidis, Thanassis Bebis, Elias Yfantis, Kostas Polychroniou, Giorgos Darivas and Savas Theodoridis, won the title six consecutive times, from 1954 to 1959, combining it with the cup in 1957, 1958 and 1959 to celebrate the only third double in a row to have ever been won in Greek football history. It is worth mentioning that Olympiacos for several seasons was not allowed to make use of the Karaiskákis Stadium and, with permission from Panathinaikos, found a temporary home in Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium, the ground of the eternal enemy.

Sporadic success and stone years

The 60s and the early 70s were not as fruitful for Olympiacos, having won only two Championships and six Cups. Another glorious chapter began in 1972, after Nikos Goulandris became president. He appointed Lakis Petropoulos as coach and signed star players Giorgos Delikaris, Yves Triantafyllos, Julio Losada, Milton Viera and Dimitris Persidis. Under Goulandris presidency, Olympiacos won the title three times in a row (from 1973 to 1975), combining it with the cup in 1973 and 1975. The highlight for that side was the 1973-74 season, when Olympiacos won the league with record points (59) and goals (102). Following Goulandris resignation from the presidency in 1975, the team went through a relative "dry" period in the second half of the 1970s. However in the early 80s, Olympiacos emerged again as the dominant power in the Greek football winning the title four times in a row (1980, 1981, 1982, 1983). Key players during this period included forward Nikos Anastopoulos, midfielder Tasos Mitropoulos and goalkeeper Nikos Sarganis. Alketas Panagoulias, who had also been manager of the Greek National Football team and the United States National Soccer Team, coached the team between 1981 and 1983 and again in the 1986-87 season, earning the championship title in 1982, 1983 and 1987.

Olympiacos experienced its darkest days from the mid-1980s until the mid-90s. In the mid 80s Olympiacos came into the hands of Greek businessman George Koskotas. Soon Koskotas was accused of and convicted for embezzlement, leaving Olympiacos deep in debt. On the pitch, the team without a serious management went nine seasons without a league title (1987-88 to 1995-96). This period was known as Olympiacos' stone years.

Absolute domination

The situation improved after Socratis Kokkalis took over Olympiacos' shares in 1993. Having agreed to a settlement of the club's debts with the Greek government (a long term deal according to which the capital was to be paid without any of the large amounts of interest), Kokkalis slowly resurrected the team, first by appointing successful coach Dušan Bajević in 1996, who had just left AEK Athens, following a clash with the management team regarding financial issues and uncertainty. The same season Kokkalis signed for the Reds all the young talents he could find in the Greek market, such as Predrag Đorđević, Grigorios Georgatos, Stelios Giannakopoulos, Georgios Anatolakis and eventually Dimitris Mavrogenidis, Alexandros Alexandris, Giorgos Amanatidis, Andreas Niniadis, all of which proceeded to play for Olympiacos for at least five years and became household names.

Hence Olympiacos' "decade of domination" began, with success attracting players of international magnitude like Zlatko Zahovič, Giovanni, and World Champions Rivaldo and Christian Karembeu. Olympiacos won seven consecutive Championships (beating their own record of six), with their best campaign ironically being Bajevic's, in 1998-99, when they celebrated the double and their qualification to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, their best ever european campaign. Following coaches had big shoes to fill and Kokkalis wasn't prepared to give them time to do it; Olympiacos employed eleven coaches in just four years. The most known are Ioannis Matzourakis (former coach of Skoda Xanthi), Takis Lemonis (who resigned from coatching Skoda Xanthi at the end of 2006 to manage again Olympiacos, replacing Trond Sollied), Oleg Protasov, Siniša Gogić and Nikos Alefantos.

Despite the constant management changes, Olympiacos kept on winning championships, albeit collecting the same points as the 2nd ranked team in their last two. In the 2001-02 season, Olympiacos had the advantage over AEK Athens, as they had beat it twice (2-3 and 4-3), while they secured the 2002-03 Championship on goal difference, as Panathinaikos had won 3-2 the first game, but was defeated 3-0 in the second, to last game of the season. 1. ... 1. ...

During the season 2005-06, Olympiacos achieved to win all the four derbies against their major rivals, Panathinaikos and AEK, something only achieved once more, during the season 1972-73.

Olympiacos' best moments at European level came with appearances in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League 1998-99, where Juventus FC beat them, and in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 1992-93 quarter-finals, where they lost to Atlético Madrid.

Olympiacos had not a single away win during their first ten years in the Champions League. In 31 away games in total, they had no wins, 7 ties and 24 defeats, until they managed to beat SV Werder Bremen in Bremen for the group stage of the Champions League 2007-08, on October 3, 2007. They tend to be a strong home team though, as they were never defeated at home during their first four years in the Champions League, having 13 consecutive undefeated games. Another proof for that is that they achieved one of the biggest victories in Champions League history in the year 2002-03, a stunning 6-2 against the finalists of the previous year Bayer 04 Leverkusen at the Rizoupoli Stadium in Athens.

In 1998-1999, Olympiacos was drawn in Group A for the UEFA Champions League, along with AFC Ajax, F.C. Porto and Croatia Zagreb. There, "Thrylos" won all 3 home games, but also managed to secure 2 away draws and a ticket to the quarter-finals.

There they met Juventus FC. In the first leg at Stadio delle Alpi, Juventus beat Olympiacos 2-1 which meant that Olympiacos only needed a 1-0 victory to proceed to the semi-finals. A vintage performance, scoring early with Siniša Gogić and never allowing their opponents to create chances, was 5 minutes away to making that scenario come true. However, Dimitrios Eleftheropoulos, Olympiacos’s goalkeeper, misjudged the flight of the ball in a seemingly harmless cross and Juventus had the last laugh and escaped with a 1-1 draw from the Olympic Stadium of Athens, which was the beginning of the "Late-Goal Curse" that superstitious supporters firmly believe hangs upon the team, especially in away matches.

Olympiacos’ supporters couldn’t believe how they fumbled such a huge opportunity to play in the semi-finals and even though they recognized Eleftheropoulos’ efforts up to that point, great efforts that even earned him the "UEFA Champions League Goalkeeper of the Competition"-award, they still held him responsible for the disqualification and up to this day there is no conversation about the "’98-’99 campaign" without a single mention of the goalkeeper’s severe mistake.

Arguably the most impressive incident supporting this folklore tale is the UEFA Champions League 2001-02 away match at Riazor Stadium against Deportivo de La Coruña, where Olympiacos managed to turn the game around and led 1-2 from 1-0, when, literally in the last seconds, with the referee ready to whistle for full-time, Eleftheropoulos miscommunicated with his centre-back in another innocent lob and gave away an easy, as unlikely, goal to the opposition forward for an unexpectable 2-2 draw.

In 2004-2005 Olympiacos was drawn in Group A once again, this time against Liverpool F.C., AS Monaco FC and Deportivo. Rivaldo made an inspiring debut for Olympiacos, in Spain against his former Spanish team Deportivo but "Thrylos" only managed to get a draw. The team predictably won all three home games in the freshly renovated Karaïskákis Stadium, notably with the same score, 1-0, meanwhile losing 2-1 away against AS Monaco.

With one match to go and in a very bizarre combination of results, Olympiacos were in danger of being one of only two teams in Champions League history that have managed to collect 10 points and still unable to qualify for the next round. They went to Anfield to play the last match against Liverpool FC and in order to progress they had either not to lose, or to score and not lose by more than one goal difference. This article is about the football stadium. ...

Rivaldo turned back the years to show the capacity crowd why he was named European Footballer of the Year in 1999. He opened the scoring with a foul he earned after an impressive solo-effort for the 0-1 Olympiacos lead, which was the half-time result. Despite that Olympiacos needed to concede three goals in the second half to be eliminated, Liverpool managed to score those three goals, with the end result being 3-1, which marked the premature end of yet another Olympiacos UEFA Champions League Campaign. Liverpool FC were the ones to progress and they, incidentally, went on to actually lift the trophy, producing a similar display in the final.

In the "round of 16" they faced Newcastle United F.C. and were easily eliminated with two losses, thus putting an end to the club’s third most successful European Campaign.

In the third game, Olympiacos was finally defeated 4-2 to Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, after a heart-breaking match in which the Greek team was playing with 10 men from the 13th minute and was leading the score to the 68th with 2-1, turning it around from 0-1 and wasting a lot of chances to score more. Real Madrid scored their third goal in the 83th, but Olympiacos came close to score many times during the last minutes of the match and leave Madrid with the draw, when Real secured the win with a last-minute goal. Olympiacos opened the second round of the group stage with a draw 0-0 to Real Madrid in Karaiskákis Stadium and kept alive the record of being undefeated by Real in Athens in four matches.

Rivalries

Olympiacos' main rival is the eternal enemy Panathinaikos. Each game between these two clubs splits Athens and the whole of Greece in two. The rivalry is based on the social status of the fanbases and the fact that these are the most successful Greek clubs in football and the greek sports in general. Olympiacos used to represent the working class while Panathinaikos the middle class. Now the fanbases of both are almost similar. The hatred is so intense that many times their fans are involved in creepy fights. This derby is considered the classic derby of the capital and Greece, and exists in basketball, volleyball, water polo and other sports.
