Theodore Theodoridis has taken up his position as UEFA's new national associations director.

Greek FA experience
Mr Theodoridis has been a member of the board of the Hellenic Football Federation in Greece since 1997 and was head of international relations at his national association up to and including UEFA EURO 2004™. He also has considerable UEFA committee experience having served as a member of UEFA's Stadium and Security Committee for six years and as a member of the Club Competitions Committee for three years. His knowledge both of national association issues and of UEFA committee processes will no doubt be of considerable help in his new role. Mr Theodoridis replaces Jacob Erel, who has retired after eight years as national associations director with European football's governing body.
