FROM MELBOURNE, TO MANTON STREET, TO MANOLAS - that's one way to describe the fascinating journey of one of Adelaide United's greatest servants and the current Assistant Coach of the Greece National Team, Michael Valkanis. The passion oozes in this brutally detailed One-on-One with one of the club's inaugural players as the Championship-winning coaching staff member discusses the highs and lows of his unforgettable playing tenure with the club, his immediate move into coaching, the rumours about his alleged fallout with John Kosmina, his grueling rehab program to come back from a devastating ACL injury, the heartbreak of departing Adelaide (the City he still calls home) AND all the juicy details from within the inside of the Greek National Team setup where times are truly changing as Valkanis is contributing to implementing an attacking philosophy that the Greeks have truly never seen before on a trailblazing journey to the FIFA World Cup in 2022. Enjoy this uncut discussion in what is one of our most riveting interviews so far on Purebred Reds - Adelaide United Fan TV.
