Panathinaikos have officially announced the departure of head coach Rafael Benitez. Both parties agreed to terminate the contract following the club's failure to meet their objectives this season.

The 66-year-old Spaniard had been in charge since last October. During his tenure, the team played 41 matches, recording 20 wins, 11 draws, and ten defeats, with a goal difference of 60:44.

The club finished fourth in the Greek league this season, ending 20 points behind the champions, AEK. As a result, they have secured a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers.

With the managerial position now vacant, reports suggest that Serhiy Rebrov is being considered as a potential successor. The Greek club had previously expressed interest in the former Dynamo Kyiv and Ukraine coach before appointing Benitez.
