About Alketas Panagoulias

Alketas 'Alkis' Panagoulias was a Greek association football player and manager. He managed the national teams of both Greece and the United States. He also managed several clubs, including Aris, his birthplace team, and Olympiacos with whom he won three Alpha Ethniki championships. After many American stars refused to leave their NASL clubs to play for them, however, Team America could only manage a 10–20 record (and a last place finish) with a patchwork lineup. He returned as head coach of the Greece national team in 1992 and led the team to its first appearance in a World Cup in 1994, played in his adopted country (by now, Panagoulias was an American citizen).
