“This won’t be my last time in this amazing country. I can only express gratitude for wearing the Olympiakos jersey. Even though the brief stay, the experience and the friends I made there will be forever marked in my life.”

Marcelo joined Olympiakos after leaving Real Madrid as the most decorated player in the club’s history, winning 25 trophies in 15 years.

“The entire Olympiakos family would like to thank Marcelo,” the Greek Super League side posted on social media.

“The time he stayed with us was brief but enough to create everlasting bonds. He knows that in Greece, in Piraeus he will always have friends.”
