Footage showed Lucescu trying to run up to an AEK Athens fan inside a stadium car park
According to Greek publication Sportal, the man seemingly throttled by Almeyda was an official working for the Sub-Directorate of Sports Violence Prevention.
PAOK’s Taison and several AEK coaches looked to hold Almeyda back but they were unsuccessful as he wriggled away and grabbed another person by the neck.
Eventually, Almeyda was dragged out of the melee and the flare-up petered out.
PAOK boss Razvan Lucescu has been handed a four-month touchline ban in the wake of footage showing him attempting to confront a rival supporter
After a narrow 1-0 defeat to rivals AEK Athens – where ex-Spurs star Erik Lamela scored the winner – PAOK boss Razvan Lucescu was seen lunging at a fan in the stadium car park.
AEK Athens manager Matias Almeyda was involved in a heated brawl after a fiery derby against PAOK descended into unsightly scenes following the final whistle.
Reports claim that the coaching staff were each fined £12,400 (€15,000) for their roles in the ordeal. PAOK themselves were handed a £24,800 (€30,000) fine.
Footage which appeared on X appeared to show Lucescu rushing down the team bus stairs and stumbling as he rushed out to confront the AEK supporter.
Meanwhile, in December last year, the Greek government announced top-flight football matches would be played behind closed doors until February 12 after a police officer was injured in clashes between rival fans.
The 50-year-old was spotted pushing Sergio Araujo, his own player, and a substitute and then went on to confront a number of people, forcing police to step in.
