Panathinaikos president offers to resign

Panathinaikos president Giannis Alafouzos will offer his resignation after violence marred his club's home clash against rival Olympiacos.

Panathinaikos president Giannis Alafouzos intends to offer his resignation following the crowd violence surrounding the club's Greek Super League match with rival Olympiacos.

Saturday's Greek derby was abandoned prior to kickoff due to Panathinaikos fans clashing with police at Apostolos Nikolaidis stadium, while Olympiacos players were pelted with missiles as they came out for their warm up in Athens.

Alafouzos has held the role of president since September 2012 after the club went through four different presidents in the space of two years.
