‘He became inextricably linked with the team’

Vardis Vardinogiannis passed away at the age of 91, with the Panathinaikos football team, whose reins were held by the Vardinogiannis family for over 30 years, saying goodbye to the Greek businessman and shipowner through an announcement.

The announcement in detail:

PAE Panathinaikos expresses its sadness for the loss of Vardis Vardinogiannis, who passed away today.

The deceased connected his name inextricably with Panathinaikos, when the Vardinogiannis family acquired the majority package of shares of PAE, since its foundation, in 1979.

During the presence of the family in the management of Panathinaikos, over three decades, the club was maintained at a top level, winning titles in domestic competitions and making important European journeys.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Vardis Vardinogiannis.
