Former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was delayed in making a scheduled appearance at a Panathinaikos sports club event due to his attention being captured by the presentation of newly appointed basketball coach Željko Obradović. Obradović’s return to Panathinaikos has generated significant excitement within the organization. Video footage shows Tsipras remarking, “Just a minute, kids, I’m watching Željko,” indicating his focus on the basketball coach’s introduction. This caused a brief postponement of Tsipras’s own scheduled announcement, which was related to the football division of the club. The incident highlights the considerable impact and attention surrounding Obradović’s arrival. The event underscores the high profile nature of both figures within Greek sports and politics.
