ATHENS - AEK Athens president Stavros
Adamidis has spoken of "sabotage from within" after coach Dusan
Bajevic was attacked by fans following a pre-season friendly
defeat on Saturday.
Bajevic, 61, fell to the ground after being punched by fans
who surrounded the Serbian coach as he attempted to leave the
pitch following the 2-1 defeat by second tier side Kallithea.
"What happened is a disgrace for AEK," Adamidis told
NovaSport FM radio. "The administration is determined and we
will keep the coach. What happened is unacceptable."
Bajevic, who is in a third spell with the club, has endured
a rocky relationship with sections of the fans due to previous
spells in charge of rivals Olympiakos.
There are fears that this latest episode may lead to his
resignation, but Adamidis said the coach would stay on.
"I have spoken to him and he is very shocked," Adamidis
said. "But rest assured we will not let him go. We call on the
real AEK fans to rid the club of these problems."
AEK have been starved of success in recent years but before
Saturday's match they had begun the pre-season impressively,
defeating Blackburn Rovers and Rangers in a tournament in
Australia.
