Aris Midea Thessaloniki has parted ways with head coach Ioannis Kastritis, the club confirmed on Monday.
Sixteen games into the 2024-25 BKT EuroCup season, Aris sits bottom of Group B with a 3-13 record – the second-worst mark of any team in the competition.
Last season, Kastritis’s Aris returned to the EuroCup after a seven-season absence and posted a 9-9 in the regular season, good for fifth in Group B and a place in the playoffs. However, Aris lost in the eighthfinals to Prometey Slobozhanske.
Overall, Kastritis went 12-23 in 35 EuroCup with Aris.
“The 43-year-old coach has given his services to ARIS Midea for three and a half consecutive seasons and his contribution has been truly great,” Aris said in a statement confirmed Kastritis’s departure.
“In the first two years, with the smallest budgets in the Greek League, the team made very good progress, while last year they returned to the top four of the league and in their return to the BKT EuroCup, not only stood decently against major European powers, but also qualified for the playoffs.
“In a meeting held today (27/01) at the club’s offices, it was decided to terminate the cooperation with the Tripolitsian coach. We thank Ioannis Kastritis from the bottom of our hearts for everything he has offered, and he will always be a part of the history of ARIS Midea. We wish him all the best in the rest of his career.”
