Panos Markovits (alternate spelling Panos Markovic) (Greek: Πάνος Μάρκοβιτς; 5 May 1925 – 17 August 2012)[1] was a Greek football coach and player.
Career
He was born in Drama, Macedonia (Greece) in 1925, but grew up in Thessaloniki. He played football for PAOK from 1945 to 1951, being part of the PAOK squads that won the Macedonia Football Clubs Association in 1948 and 1950 and reached the Greek Football Cup final in 1951. He then transitioned from player to coach at the young age of 26.
Ηe was notable as the first manager in Greece to have held a diploma and calling himself a "manager", taking credit for his team's performances long before
1973-74 Mainland Greece First Division. That season his APOEL side became the only Cypriot club that played in the Greek First Division that didn't get relegated, but they couldn't renew their stay for 1974-75 because of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. His second stay from 1983 to 1985 was only met with a Cypriot Cup and Cypriot Super Cup win and his third stay was in a caretaker role in 2004 at the temporary absence of Ivan Jovanović
, becoming the 2nd oldest Balkan manager of all time at the age of 79. Aside from "Library", his players called him the "Teacher" and he was held in high regard by most of his players in all the teams he managed.
Another important point of his career was when he managed the
Regime of the Colonels
was established in Greece on 21 April 1967 and he was forcibly relinquished of his duties 5 days later.
In 2010, he was given an award by the President of the Republic Demetris Christofias, for his contributions to sport in Cyprus.[2]
