After parting ways with Kauno 'Žalgiris,' A. Trinchieri has taken on a consulting role at PAOK for the current season, despite already securing a permanent position. This decision allows him to gradually transition into his new role without disrupting the team's current dynamics. He emphasized that his primary focus is the team and stability during this transitional phase.

During a press conference, Trinchieri explained his rationale for delaying his full coaching responsibilities, citing the positive chemistry he observed within the PAOK team and its coaching staff. By taking time to familiarize himself with the players and the ongoing strategies, he aims to ensure a smoother integration when he officially takes over next season. Trinchieri believes that continuity is crucial and that the current coach, Pantelis Boutskos, knows the players better, thereby minimizing potential disruptions.

Trinchieri's approach underscores the importance he places on organizational stability and maintaining the team's direction during a critical phase of the season. His proactive communication and collaboration with Boutskos will facilitate the exchange of ideas and ensure that he remains engaged with the team's progress, setting a foundation for success in the upcoming season.
