Savvidis does not come to the match
Both patrons will be missing from the game. Nor will the controversy Russian Ivan Savvidis be on Tomba. The boss of the Greeks were not at a match of PAOK since winning the fanfare of the 2019 championship. He avoids thessaloniki and Greece. If the owner of the Romanians will be represented by some of his trusted people, such as Teia Sponte, Viorel Hrebenciuc and Mihai Stoica, Ivan Savvidis, Russian-Grec entrepreneur, will not be present at the match. Instead, he will be his son, Georgi. Ivan Savvidis, 66, is disturbed by the delay of building the new stadium of PAOK, officially, say the Greek journalists. But there are other dark details that keep him away from Thessaloniki and Greece, in recent years, near Vladimir Putin.
