Sir Alex Ferguson has “lucky charm” from Epirus

Sir Alex Ferguson, with Sotiris Hasiakos

The most trusted man of Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, is Epirot Sotiris Hasiakos, the manager of an exclusive London club in Park Lane. The two men communicate frequently every day by telephone and share their interest in horses and horse racing. Recently, they became co-owners of two horses, to which they have given Greek names – Aetos and Pausanias – as Sir Alex wanted to please his close friend, Sotiris.

Hasiakos comes from the village of Katarraktis in Arta region, where his brother is mayor. He studied business at Manchester University and later took an executive position at a large leisure complex, where he met Ferguson.
