Luca Banchi made his first statements on aekbc.gr:”I am very excited to be the first Italian coach in AEK’s history”.

”My goals and the goals of the board are to work very hard to give stability to the team’s progress, at the highest level and of course to continue the process of becoming every year better”.

”I feel big responsibility for this new challenge. I want to thank Mr. Angelopoulos and all the members of the board for this opportunity to succeed a successful coach, like Dragan Sakota, who has achieved something unique with AEK last season”.
