Olympiakos was fined 90,000 euros following crowd trouble in its Europa League match against AC Milan last month.

UEFA sanctioned the Greek side on Friday over a pitch invasion, the setting-off of fireworks and blocked stairways during its 3-1 win over Milan on December 13 in Piraeus.

Ludogorets dropped out of the Europa League tournament after losing a the second match from sixteen finals against  Milan - 0:1 at the San Siro stadium on Thursday night. A week earlier in Razgrad, the Bulgarian champion retreated to the Rossoneri with 0:3. The only goal at the meeting was by Fabio Borini.

Reports in the Greek press converge to OFI Crete soon becoming the second club in the Super League, after Niki Volou, to drop out of the championship for financial reasons.

Crisis-hit Greek club OFI Crete was plunged further into the mire after it was deducted six points for failing to honor the contract of former player Aleksander Pesic, the Super League said on Friday.

OFI was punished after Pesic took his case to FIFA's Disciplinary Committee, which recommended the sanction to the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO).

Disgruntled OFI Crete players have accused the club's management of making fools of them after Gennaro Gattuso resigned as coach of the cash-strapped outfit for the second time in 10 weeks.

The Italian World Cup winner, who took over last June, had resigned from the post on October 26 due to financial and boardroom issues before being persuaded to stay on with the club.
