It didn’t take him long to get a promotion as his skills caught the eye of Angelos Anastasiadis in the training matches between the U20s and the senior team. Achilleas Pougouras made his debut with the first team against Veria. «It’s my happiest moment since I started playing football», he said on PAOK TV.
