Angela works with Olympiacos Soccer Club Chicago coaches and staff and oversees planning and coordination of club tournaments and events. Born in Athens, Greece, Angela moved to the United States with her family when she was 10 years old. Her love for Greece, the Greek culture,  and Greek language was sustained and grew stronger with every annual summer visit to Greece. While growing up, her dad exposed her to Greek soccer by taking her with him to every game he attended! Of course, Olympiacos FC was a favorite team! She graduated from the university with a degree in English Literature and Linguistics and pursued a career teaching English –   a job she has been doing for over thirty-five years and truly loves!

PERSONAL STATEMENT

“My husband, John, and I have two adult sons and a granddaughter.   While our sons were growing up, I will never forget how important soccer was in our family and to the kids. I frequently volunteered and was involved in all of their sports activities, including soccer – as a team manager and assistant coach. When the opportunity arose 15 years ago, I was very excited to become part of the Olympiacos Family, here in Chicago. That was a unique occurrence for me to continue to relive my children’s childhood through all of the young players in Olympiacos Soccer Club Chicago, spread the love of soccer, and encourage the kids to learn about Olympiacos FC here in the United States. Aside from that fact, I feel privileged to be a part of all of these players’ lives and to give them the opportunity to excel in soccer and see them grow and reach their milestones – an experience they will always remember!”
