N’Doye answers Copenhagen call

By: Peter Katsiris | January 14th, 2009

Dame N’Doye has swapped Crete for Copenhagen as the Senegalese striker leaves Heraklion-based club OFI Crete for Danish side FC Kobenhavn. Arriving at the Pankritio Stadium just this past summer, N’Doye quickly became OFI’s leader in the first half of the season, and notched six goals in his time with the Cretan club.

It is quite the jump for N’Doye, who leaves a side struggling to breathe in the Greek Super League and joins a Danish side looking to stir an upset in the final edition of the UEFA Cup.

While the leap is remarkable, the move seems fitting for the former Panathinaikos player. While Greece appears to be just a launching pad for N’Doye’s career, for OFI it now appears the slump will continue without their star player.

The managerial takeover featuring successful Super League boss Ioannis Matzourakis has not gone to plan, as OFI continues to find itself within the confines of the bottom three in the Super League standings. Though they have been able to avoid relegation, despite close scares year-after-year, the dark reality that the Beta Ethniki is beckoning for one of Greece’s oldest club leaves supporters of the islanders on a knife edge.
