Paul Politis to Lead Under 18s and Reserves in 2026

We are thrilled to announce that Paul Politis will be taking the helm of our Under 18s and Reserves squads for the 2026 season!

Paul steps into this expanded role following an outstanding 2025 campaign, where he guided our Under 18s to a hugely successful season — winning both the league title and the grand final. His remarkable achievements last year speak volumes about his leadership, tactical knowledge, and ability to inspire players on and off the pitch.

Bringing valuable experience from both junior and senior levels, Paul has already demonstrated his ability to build strong teams and deliver results. His appointment marks an exciting step forward for our youth programs, providing a solid foundation as we aim for continued success in 2026.

Supporting Paul in this journey are George Atsikbasis, Michael Czerkies, and Tasos Hronopoulos, who will help oversee the Under 18s and Reserves squads. Together, this coaching team is set to deliver an engaging, competitive, and development-focused season for all players involved.

After such a memorable 2025 season, the Adelaide Olympic community is excited to see what lies ahead. With Paul Politis leading the way, 2026 promises to be another thrilling year of football, growth, and success for our Under 18s and Reserves programs.
