In an official statement on the club’s website, Savvidis refrained from directly addressing Mystakidis but expressed his frustration with the process and reaffirmed his enduring commitment to PAOK, particularly concerning the New Toumba stadium project.
Full Statement from Savvidis:
“Over the past 13 years, it has been my privilege to lead PAOK FC, always driven by a dedication to keep my promises. Despite facing challenges, mistakes, and hurdles, we have achieved more together than we ever thought possible, and we will continue to realize our dreams in the same spirit of unity.”
“The announcement from A.S. PAOK yesterday was unexpected and made without my prior knowledge. While I was caught off guard, I leave the judgment to our vast membership and to history.”
“I have never contributed to division. Our chosen path is irreversible, and our progress will not waver. Building consensus and maintaining a strong relationship with our passionate fans—who are the heartbeat of PAOK—has always been and will continue to be my guiding principle as we strive to elevate PAOK in the future.”
“I committed to bringing joy back to Toumba, and I have fulfilled that promise. I am the one who initiated the vision for the New Toumba, and I will see it through to completion. Anyone wishing to join me in this mission is more than welcome.”
“I stand by my every word—this is how I lead. That’s why I insisted the new stadium be constructed solely in Toumba, as that is where the spirit of PAOK lives. We remain dedicated to making this vision a reality.”
