Timeline

1986

Giannis Maniatis (Γιάννης Μανιάτης ; born 12 October 1986) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as a right back or a defensive midfielder.

1989

Maniatis injured his knee in Olympiakos' midweek Greek Cup quarter-final second leg win over AEK Athens which was abandoned in the 89th minute after a pitch invasion by AEK fans.

He will be out of action for six months, according to the club's medical team.

2002

Maniatis was first spotted as a 16-year-old playing for A.A. Arachova Parnassos in 2002.

2003

He quickly caught the eye of scouts while finishing his youth career while playing with AO Thiva, and was then snapped up by Panionios in late 2003.

2004

He made his debut for the 'Kyanerythri' in 2004 and has since become integral part of the first team.

"We talked too much about it. I think that was a mistake from many aspects. And as one of the captain, as second captain or at least one of the two older players in the team, since 2004, I think I have a great responsibility, I was wrong, I explained to Maniatis many times and he understood it and we'll continue as usual to reach our targets" he said.

2006

Made 27 league appearances − all but one in the starting lineup − in 2006/07, when the club finished fifth and qualified for Europe.

Helped Panionios into the group stage of the following season's UEFA Cup after making his European debut in a 2–0 win at FC Sochaux-Montbéliard in the first round.

2008

Scored his first Super League goal the following season, against Aris on 18 October 2008, and held his place in the side for the next two years despite a succession of coaching changes.

He has attracted interest from the big Greek clubs, AEK Athens, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.

2009

However, on 22 June 2009, Maniatis ended speculation over his future by signing a new four-year deal with Panionios.

2011

In January 2011, Olympiacos won the race for Maniatis' signature, ahead of AEK Athens who showed a strong interest in the player.

Maniatis had been acquired as a right-back, where he would be a back-up to the first-choice in that position, team captain Vasilis Torosidis; however, later events would see Maniatis flourish in a new position.

His versatility allowed him to play many games for Panionios as a defensive midfielder, a position he would cement himself in at Olympiacos.

Olympiacos were plagued with injuries ahead of their UEFA Champions League encounter with Marseille and coach Ernesto Valverde decided to field Maniatis as a defensive midfielder in a tough away game of great importance.

Maniatis put in a man-of-the-match performance and has since established himself as a key, first-choice player in midfield for Olympiacos.

Maniatis has proven to be more effective in midfield than in what was thought to be his best position at right-back.

He has proven to be a revelation at Olympiacos where he has shown great tackling skills, superb stamina and a surprisingly good passing range with impressive vision.

Initially being moved into a defensive midfield position, Maniatis now plays as a box-to-box midfielder playing alongside a more established defensive midfielder.

He began playing soccer for A.A. Arachova Parnassos in the lowest division of Greek professional soccer league.

Maniatis has overcome a lot of obstacles during his professional career and once said: "I used to play in front of 10 people in the village of Arahova and a few years later I played in front of 40.000 fans in the Karaiskakis stadium".

He scored his first goal at Olympiacos in a 4–0 home win against Levadiakos.

The 26-year-old has enjoyed a successful move to Piraeus, joining from Panionios in 2011 and since then establishing himself as a key player and breaking into the national team.

"I am proud that I am playing in this team, which is above all a family and I am happy that I will continue to wear red and white. I will give all of my strength to achieve the team's goals, to continue to achieve titles and success and especially to keep our fans proud and happy". Maniatis said.

Olympiakos's captain Giannis Maniatis on Friday extended his contract with the Greek champions by two years despite being ruled out for four months with a knee injury.

2012

On 4 December 2012, he managed to score his first goal in the Champions League, in a 2–1 home win against Arsenal.

2014

In the 2014 Greek Cup semi-final between PAOK and Olympiacos, PAOK fans littering the Olympiacos substitutes' bench with anchovies, the match finished with three red cards and fighting between Olympiacos captain Giannis Maniatis and his teammate in the Greece national football team, Kostas Katsouranis.

The latter tried to prevent the former from taking a throw-in during the match (or something of the sort).

The former, at the best of times, is a slightly ... volatile footballer.

A month later in an interview for the 30-man provisional 2014 World Cup squad Kostas Katsouranis admitted his mistake and said that the incident is in the past.

2015

On 18 December 2015, almost nine months since his severe injury Maniatis, has fully recovered but he could not be able take playing time and according to Greek newspaper Fos, Olympiakos manager Marco Silva will possibly make roster cuts in January and he is in danger.

2016

The 29-year-old right back has attracted the interest of Italian and Russian clubs and that the Greek Champions want to let him go on loan until the summer 2016.

After a very difficult year for the midfielder absent through injury (302 days to be exact), Maniatis returned to action on 7 January 2016, in his first appearance in the 2015–16 season where he scored the last goal in a glorious 4–1 away win against Chania for the Greek Cup.

On the beginning of 2016–17 season, Maniatis has been informed that was not among the first priorities of the new manager Paulo Bento plans.

On 1 September 2016, Maniatis was excluded from Olympiakos's UEFA Europa League squad.

On 21 September 2016, Maniatis returned to training however he is still not considered among Paulo Bento's plans.

2017

It was one of the most stable and most valuable players of Olympiakos during the last seasons, and in any case, the 27-year-old cashed his offer champions Greece with a new four-year contract which will tie him with the club till 2017.

The 28-year-old defensive midfielder's contract had been due to expire in the summer of 2017 but that has now been stretched to 2019 by the current Super League leaders.

Despite rumours which linked him with a move abroad in the past, Maniatis always had the desire to remain at Olympiakos and he was more than happy to commit his future to the club for the next four years.
