Controversy
There was some controversy surrounding the loan move of Nikos to Olympiakos Volou. Olympiakos initially announced that they acquired the player on a full transfer, with Nikos signing a two-year contract.[2] The situation was cleared up on 9 February 2011, when the Hellenic Football Federation confirmed that the player was on loan to the club, and he would have to move back to Iraklis after the season was over.[2]
