Nikolić: 'Proud to be the coach of this team'

Marko Nikolić, the coach of AEK, recently had a deeply moving experience during a visit to the club's museum. The visit left him feeling an even greater sense of pride and connection to the team he manages. Nikolić, who already felt proud to lead AEK, found that his time spent immersed in the club's history significantly deepened his appreciation for its legacy and the people associated with it.

“

It was a fantastic experience. I felt so proud to be a coach. Although I was proud, of course, even before visiting the museum, but every minute or second I spent in the museum, I felt a connection with the great history of this team, of this club. Of the people. More importantly, of the people connected to this club.

"It was a fantastic experience. I felt so proud to be a coach. Although I was proud, of course, even before visiting the museum, but every minute or second I spent in the museum, I felt a connection with the great history of this team, of this club. Of the people. More importantly, of the people connected to this club," Nikolić shared. He emphasized that the museum offers more than just a display of trophies; it provides a comprehensive understanding of the club's journey from its inception to the present day.

“

Because many clubs have a museum inside the stadium. It's one thing to go inside and see some trophies, and another thing to understand the history, completely from its founding until today.

Nikolić strongly recommended that all AEK fans, especially those who attend matches in large numbers, make time to visit the museum. He believes that understanding the club's history is crucial for fostering a stronger bond between the supporters and the team. He also noted the unique significance of the Museum of Greek Refugees, which he has also visited, suggesting that both institutions offer unparalleled insights into the club's identity and its deep roots within Greek society. Nikolić concluded by stating that AEK's museum is a unique asset in the football world, something he has not encountered elsewhere.

“

And also, the history of refugees in the Museum of the Refugee Hellenism, because I have visited both. Both of these museums are unique experiences and I think everyone should feel proud, first of all you and everyone in the Club that you have something like this, which I believe is unique. I have not encountered anything like this in football before.
