For some time, Yérime Sylla had no longer tried to hide a disappointment, mixed with annoyance, in the face of the performances – considered insufficient – of the Nancy match custodians… To the point to sack Polish international Maciej Zarzycki and to temporarily request (left winger) Maxime Ogando on the centre-half position, leaving a desire for change(s) which has translated into action this winter break! With, as a first effect, the negotiated termination of the Florent Bourget contract.
Arrived last summer and origin from Volendam (BeNe League), the 24-year-old Franco-Dutch should make official, shortly, his “reclassification”… in the Greek league. Championship in which, depending on the circumstances, Nancy Handball discovered its “successor”: Charalampos Mallios (35), pillar and captain of the Greek national team.
Just after his return from selection, “Charis” Mallios thus settled in Lorraine at the beginning of the week, before undergoing the traditional series of medical visits this Tuesday, and formally committing himself until the end of the season with the blue and They. Like a “joker”.
A “travelling” semi-centre.
Released from AC Diomidis Argous, a club with whom he won the “EHF Challenge Cup” in 2012 before pursuing his career as a “globe-trotter”, Charalampos Mallios has featured in ten teams playing in minor leagues (Greece, Turkey, Kosovo) or in the lower stages of the German championship (P3).
Three times champion of Greece with Panellinios (2006, 23007) and Diomidis Argous (2012), he joined – for the third time! – the Argos club
in 2021…
Small midfielder, Charis Mallios (1.82m, 85kg) has apparently seduced the Nancy staff with her experience and skills as an organiser. A last resort that Lorraine has often lacked this season on the attacks placed. Training for a period attended by another “prankster” of Nancy: Nikolaos Siamatas. Arrived in Lorraine in February 2019,
he had subsequently retired to Belfort (N1) before leaving France.
