Stevan Jovetić's return to sensational goal-scoring form with Olympiacos
The arrival of José Luis Mendilibar at Olympiacos has been a game-changer for experienced Montenegrin forward Stevan Jovetić (34 years old), who has returned to a high level of football under the Spanish coach's guidance.
Since Mendilibar took the reins of the Greek team, it didn't take long for Jovetić to resurface strongly in the football scene.
The forward has not only shone again with crucial goals, such as those he scored against Volos and Maccabi Tel Aviv, but he was also pivotal in the historic victory in Serbia, where Olympiacos overturned a deficit to eventually win 1-6.
The difference in Mendilibar's tactical and motivational approach has been key in changing circumstances for all the team's forwards.
This was evident in the match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, where Jovetić, alongside Youssef El Arabi and Ayoub El Kaabi, formed a lethal attacking trio that found the net on six occasions.
Revitalizing Jovetić: A resurgence in goal-scoring
The "chemistry" between Jovetić and El Arabi has also been a determining factor in the Montenegrin's resurgence. It was El Arabi who assisted the forward to score his first European goal for Olympiacos.
In total, Jovetić has bagged five goals in 26 games this season, establishing himself as a key player in the Piraeus-based club's lineup.
Mendilibar's arrival has injected new life into Olympiacos, and Jovetić is just one of the many beneficiaries of this change of direction.
With the support of the Spanish coach, the Montenegrin forward has shown that he still has much to offer on the field and is poised to be a crucial player in the team's objectives for the remainder of the season.
