Belief
The 52-year-old, who replaces Nikolaos Anastopoulos following his sacking last week, takes over a side bottom of Greece's top flight with 13 points from 16 games. However, he spoke confidently about the task ahead, saying: "I believe in my players and I'm confident we can avoid relegation. If I didn't have faith, I wouldn't have said 'yes' to taking over in these circumstances."

As a player, Firos is best remembered for a spell at Aris Thessaloniki FC, the club he would later coach three times. His most recent post was at OFI Crete FC, where he was in charge from November 2003 until the end of last season.
