Punjab FC have confirmed the arrival of their new head coach, Panagiotis Dilmperis, for the coming season. Konstantinos Katsaras will join him as the assistant coach and Papaioannou Ioannis will also be part of the backroom staff as the strength and conditioning coach.
This past season, Dilmperis was the head coach of A. E Ermionida FC in the lower tiers of Greek football. However, his coaching experience has taken him to clubs like Iraklis Larisas FC, Rochester NY FC and Panserraikos FC.

“I am really excited to start a new journey in India with Punjab FC. It is a great challenge and I look forward to helping the team in achieving its objectives. I am completely aligned with the Club’s vision and can’t wait to start the new season in the new country,” Dilmperis told the club’s official website upon being announced as the club’s new head coach.
Staikos Vergetis did a remarkable job with the former I-League winners in their first season in the ISL, achieving a ninth placed finish. However, the 47-year-old has now moved on, and his replacement has been swiftly announced too.
With Jordan Wilmar and Madih Talal transferred away, Punjab FC will have to make some very well thought out decisions in the transfer window if they are to remain competitive this season.
How old is Dilmperis?
49 years old
