Olympiacos clinch fifth straight Greek titleOlympiacos claimed their fifth successive Greek League title with three games remaining last season. This latest success takes the Piraeus club's tally to 12 in the last 13 years and 37 overall. In European terms, Olympiacos have secured a place in this season's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. At the other end of the table, OFI, Panserraikos and Thrasivoulos were relegated.
Greek play-offsPanathinaikos secured a place in this season's UEFA Champions League after defeating city rivals AEK Athens 2-0 in the final game of the Greek league playoffs. Coach Henk Ten Cate's team, who finished the regular season in third place, topped the four-team mini-league for European competitions, six points ahead of AEK. Panathinaikos join Greek champions Olympiakos in the draw for the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. Greece's representatives in the new Europa League, which replaces the UEFA Cup, will be AEK, PAOK and Larissa.

Temuri Ketsbaia takes over champions OlympiakosOlympiakos have decided not to renew the contract of coach Ernesto Valverde despite the Spaniard leading the club to the league title and Greek Cup. Olympiakos had offered Valverde a €1m contract for this season plus 750,000 euros in potential bonuses, but Valverde reportedly wanted a salary of €1.5m and the demand was rejected.

Olympiakos have appointed Temuri Ketsbaia as their new coach, but the Georgian's appointment has been met with a mixed response. Ketsbaia, 41, resigned from his post at Anorthosis Famagusta in April after helping the club become the first from Cyprus to reach the UEFA Champions League group stage, defeating Olympiacos in the third qualifying round.
The 2008/2009 regular season standings. Olympiakos vs. PanathinaikosOlympiakos coach Temuri Ketsbaia has bolstered the team's defense by signing Swedish international Olof Mellberg on a three-year contract from Juventus but has made no other major acquisitions. In contrast, archrivals Panathinaikos have made a number of high profile signings, including French striker Djibril Cisse from Marseille on a four-year deal for a fee in the region of €10m. They have also snapped up Sebastian Leto from Liverpool after the Argentine winger spent last season in Greece on loan to Olympiakos.
