ATHENS (Reuters) - Paulo Bento has been sacked as coach by Greece's Olympiakos after a string of poor results, the Super League club announced on Monday. The 47-year-old Portuguese coach had come under pressure since Sunday’s 2-0 loss to PAOK Salonika. "Olympiakos announces the end of its cooperation with Paulo Bento,", the club said in a brief statement. It added that Under 20 coach Vasilis Vouzas would take over as interim coach, assisted by Ariel Ibagaza. Vouzas now has a few days to rally his players before the visit of Turkey's Besiktas in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16.
