Klub se ovom prilikom zahvaljuje na svemu što je trener Janis Sferopulos učinio na klupi Crvene zvezde, načinu na koji je gospodski predstavljao klub na terenu i van njega, i na svemu što je učinio da zajedno podignemo klub na viši nivo.

Želimo mu puno sreće, zdravlja i profesionalnih uspeha u nastavku karijere.

Klub se ovom prilikom zahvaljuje i pomoćniku Janisa Sferopulosa, Vasilisu Geragotelisu na velikom trudu, angažmanu i doprinosu koji je dao tokom borovaka u Crvenoj zvezdi zajedno sa prvim trenerom.
