The Legendary Argentinian midfielder, Esteban Cambiasso spends 2 seasons (2015-2017) playing in Greece for Olympiacos FC at Pireaus city and retires there.
At 2022 (IRL) Olympiacos offers Cambiasso an opportunity to start his career as an *assistant coach* of the existing head coach, Michel (Former Real Madrid player) in a difficult season for Olympiacos.
Cambiasso rejects the offer cause he wanted a Head Coach job. Anyway the realationships with his old team doesn't messed up. He visit Olympiacos and Piraeus at summer of 2023 as a friend.


At 2024 (In game), still without an offer for taking a ''hot seat'' his phone rings again from Greece and Piraeus. But this time it was not Olympiacos calling!
It was Ethnikos Piraeus! Ethnikos was the main local''enemy'' of Olympiacos from 1930 to 1990. Ethnikos founded first at 1923 while Olympiacos founded at 1925. The hate between the two teams of Piraeus was huge. Ethnikos suddenly lost his power after 1988. Relegetions, weak promotions-comebacks and the final appearance of the club at Super League (A' Ethniki back then) was at 1998-99 season. After 1999 Ethnikos never comes back to his old good days and Greek Super League. 2011-2014 was the worst period of the clubs history. Ethnikos falls all the way down to the local championship of Piraeus, a semi or non professional catergory (4th tier of Greece). However from 2014 until 2024 Ethnikos playing again like a semi or professional club but stucked at G'Ethniki (3rd tier).

 

Back to our Manager...
Cambiasso accepts the offer of Ethnikos to lead the way from the Third Division of Greece (G' Ethniki) to the old good days. His decision gives Olympiacos fans a very bad taste. 
Τhey were irritated with Cambiasso and the 40 years of ''sleeping'' rivalry between Olympiacos and Ethnikos fans is now again a thing at Piraeus. Even if Ethnikos fanbase is now very smaller than Olympiacos.
