Where is Dabizas now? In Greece training with Olympiakos! He wants to keep himself fit for Greece's Euro 2004 Qualifies, but he has not yet ruled our a permanent move to the Athens giants. Nikos Dabizas has now left England and has returned to his home country, Greece.

As Greece prepare for upcoming Euro 2004 qualifiers, Dabizas has decided to do some training with Olympiakos to "keep himself fit", although he hasn't ruled out a permanent move.

He said: "I'm 29 and I'm used to being a mainstay in the team. That is why I need to move, but ultimately it is whoever will pay the fee that Newcastle want for me.

"I want to be an integral part of the first-team again. Olympiakos are a very good club who are always winning trophies.

"They are regulars in the Champions League and having tasted that with Newcastle this season, that is where I want to be at this stage of my career.

"I'll spend this week with them and then concentrate on the international game. We'll see what happens after that."
