Aleksey Shpilevski: A Visionary in Football, Backing His Words with Actions
In the world of football, where grand words often count for little, one name stands out: Aleksey Shpilevski, the charismatic coach of Aris Lemesos. Known for his pragmatic approach, Shpilevski embodies a rare combination of humility and effectiveness. Recently, after an impressive 2-1 home victory against Anorthosis, he was asked if he believes in a repeat championship. His response, “I am not concerned with the opinions or criticisms of others. I do my job, want to remain humble, and help my players develop,” was typical Shpilevski: calm, focused, and purposeful.
His performance as a coach is indisputable. Under his guidance, the 36-year-old Belarusian has led Aris Lemesos to new heights. Not only did the club win the Super Cup – a historic first for the team – under his leadership, but it also qualified for the first time for the group stage of a European competition, the Europa League. Moreover, Shpilevski consistently keeps the team on track in national competitions.
These achievements are all the more remarkable given the challenges Shpilevski and his team faced. In a season with more games than any other team and the additional burden of European competitions, where the competition is tougher than ever, Aris Lemesos has shown impressive development. Despite the fact that none of the summer transfers made an immediate significant impact, Aris has performed better under Shpilevski’s leadership than last year.
At this point in the season, the club has improved both in points and standings compared to last year. A year ago, after 20 match days, Aris was in fourth place with 37 points, seven less than the then-leader AEK. Today, the team is in second place with 41 points, just four less than the current leader APOEL.
Aleksey Shpilevski’s talent lies not only in strategic planning and tactical finesse but also in his ability to motivate and develop a team. He proves that in football, actions indeed speak louder than words. His career so far at Aris Lemesos is a shining example of how visionary coaching can make the difference between a good and an extraordinary team.
