Bittersweet Farewell: Paphos Reflects on Carcedo's Departure

The departure of Juan Carlos Carcedo from Paphos was not smooth, with statements from Roman Dumbov causing bitterness. While there was dissatisfaction with the way the Spanish coach left, the Paphos administration recognizes the tremendous successes achieved under his guidance. With Carcedo at the helm, Paphos won the Cup and the Championship, and also managed to qualify for the league phase of the Champions League and the round of 16 of the Conference League. The relationship was complex, with bitterness but also recognition of Carcedo's contribution to the team's rise.
