'Separate ways'
While Mihalitsios takes charge for a second time, Skoboe turned down the post of technical manager to leave Aris. Club president Nikitas Matthaiou said: "Ole Skoboe did not accept the management position so we are going our separate ways."
Selander leaves
Aris occupy eleventh place in the Greek top flight, with only four wins from 17 games. The club's plight has been worsened by financial problems, which have led to the release of Swedish midfield player Magnus Selander because of unpaid wages.
Iraklis switch
Selander, 35, has signed for Aris's city rivals Iraklis FC on a one-year contract with the option of a six-month extension. He becomes Iraklis's second Swedish acquisition of the transfer window following the arrival last week of midfield player Kennedy Bakircioglü.
