Leverkusen’s Greek defender Stafylidis joins FC Augsburg
Berlin: Greek defender Kostantinos Stafylidis moved from Bayer Leverkusen to league rivals FC Augsburg, both Bundesliga clubs confirmed in official statements.
Stafylidis, who played on loan at Premier League outfit FC Fulham last season, has inked a two-year contract that keeps him with the “Fuggerstaedter” until June 2017.
“Konstantinos Stafylidis is a young player who already earned international experiences due to his time in England and with the Greek national team. We are sure he can develop further with us,” Xinhua quoted Augsburg’s sporting director Stefan Reuter as saying on Thursday.
Stafylidis made five international caps for Greece’s national team.
“I am delighted that my transfer worked out because I hope for more match practice in the Bundesliga. I want to help the team with my qualities and to improve myself,” the new arrival said.
After the 1-0 loss to Hertha Berlin in the first round of Bundesliga, Augsburg encounter Eintracht Franfkurt for the second round on Saturday.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
