Nikos Alefantos (Greek: Νίκος Αλέφαντος, 3 January 1939 – 23 June 2020) was a Greek professional footballer and football coach. He is regarded as one of the most innovative managers of the 20th century, known in Greece for his phlegmatic personality, short temper, famous quips, various moments and experiences from his days in the football pitches and is regarded as the greatest Greek manager never to have won one of the two major titles (Alpha Ethniki and Greek Cup) in his home country.[1] In his 35-year managerial career he managed 28 different teams, most notably his three spells at Olympiacos (1983–84, 1993–94, 2003–04) and at Iraklis, where he led a team with 1 point in 6 matches to a 4th place in 1985–86, after what was dubbed the "Play-off of Shame" in Greece.
