Alefantos' only silverware is the Cypriot Cup, which he won when he was manager of APOEL. He is known for his love for Olympiacos, and his excellent relationship with Olympiakos' president Sokratis Kokkalis, despite being the only Olympiacos coach in the last 13 years to finish a season without winning either the Championship or the Cup. He is known for blaming referee Giorgos Douros as being responsible, claiming he favoured Panathinaikos (the eventual winners), in a crucial derby and for his weeping during TV an interview to Elli Stai. To his defense, former Olympiacos striker Nery Castillo stated in August 2007 that "Alefantos was the best coach I had while playing for Olympiacos".[citation needed]
