AEK President Dennis Nikolaidis Resigns

After 4 1/2 years as president of AEK, Dennis Nikolaidis announced his resignation after the end of a sensational win over Asteras Tripolis.  Even with AEK's win, the fans were not on the side of their home team.  They began rioting and aggressively attacking other fans and the streets of Thessaloniki.

Speaking at a post-match press conference, Nikolaidis was quoted by Sportnet as he announced his resignation after a negative reaction from the home fans in the wake of the victory.

"I wasn’t expecting those reactions from the crowd." Nikolaidis said.

"I don’t want to be the president of a club where the fans demonstrate against the team.

"This is my last day as the president of AEK.

"I don’t have anything else to offer to the club.

"My decision is final."

Earlier this year, Nikolaidis had announced his decision to leave the club in May of 2009.
