Olympiacos is preparing for the Euroleague Final Four semifinal against Monaco, coached by Vassilis Spanoulis. The Reds just finished their training session and are now fully ready for the big clash with the Monegasque team.

A remarkable moment unfolded while Giorgos Bartzokas’ players were doing their routine shooting drills. Vassilis Spanoulis was walking toward the exit when Kostas Papanikolaou saw him—and shooed him away, implying he was spying ahead of tomorrow’s game, motioning with his hand for him to leave.

The two men shared great moments wearing the Olympiacos jersey, winning the Euroleague twice and reaching the final two more times. It’s worth noting that Vassilis Spanoulis is also Papanikolaou’s coach on the Greek national basketball team.
