Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has appointed former Huddersfield Town boss Carlos Corberan as manager of Olympiacos.
Corberan managed Huddersfield last season, guiding them to the play-off final before they were beaten by Forest at Wembley Stadium. He resigned his position four weeks ago and is now the manager of Olympiacos who, like Forest, are owned by Evangelos Marinakis.
He is joined in Greece by his assistant at Huddersfield, Jorge Alarcon, meaning Marinakis has now hired four key Huddersfield figures from the play-off final across his two clubs. The appointments of Corberan and Alarcon at Olympiacos follow Forest's double signing of left-back Harry Toffolo and central midfielder Lewis O'Brien from the Yorkshire side.

After his resignation from the Huddersfield hotseat, Corberan said in a statement: "Leading this club over the past two seasons has been a pleasure and made me feel extremely proud. However, I have the utmost respect towards everyone at this club and its supporters and that is why I feel the need for us to end our relationship. There are times in life when the most honest thing to do is to step aside on amicable terms in the best interests of both parties."
His first match in charge of Olympiacos will be a Europa League qualifier against Slovan Bratislava on Thursday. Former Forest loanee Philip Zinckernagel will be part of his squad after he signed permanently from Watford this summer.
