ATHENS (Reuters) - Olympiakos Piraeus president Evangelos Marinakis has fined his team 500,000 euros (363,859 pounds) for below-par performances which have seen them eliminated from Europe and endangered their domestic league and cup prospects.

The Greek champions' recent derby reverse to arch-rvials Panathinaikos, a 4-2 aggregate defeat by Ukraine's Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the Europa League last 32 and a 1-1 Greek Cup draw with second division AEK Athens have left Marinakis fuming.
