Club career

Vataniakos

Giannoulis began his career with Vataniakos.

PAOK

Giannoulis joined Super League club PAOK in 2014.[1]

Loan moves

He spent time on loan at Football League club Pierikos and then at Veria,[1] where his performances earned him the Nova Sports 2015–16 Super League Rookie of the Year award.[2] He then extended his contract with PAOK until 2020.[3] Further loan spells followed, first at Cypriot club Anorthosis,[4] and then back in the Super League with Atromitos,[5] where he was a regular for 18 months.[6]

Return to PAOK

In December 2018, PAOK turned down a €2.2 million offer from French Ligue 1 club Rennes,[7] and recalled the player from loan. He finally made his league debut for PAOK on 10 February 2019 as a second-half substitute against Olympiacos, and made eight appearances in what remained of their 2018–19 season.[6]

Giannoulis scored after 87 minutes of PAOK's 2019–20 Europa League play-off second leg to give his side a 3–2 win on the night, but opponents Slovan Bratislava progressed on away goals after the scores finished 3–3 on aggregate.[8]

International career

On 15 May 2018, Giannoulis was one of nine players to make their Greek national team debuts in a 2–0 friendly loss against Saudi Arabia. He was sent off after 43 minutes of the match.[9]

Personal life

Giannoulis' older brother, Kostas, is also a professional footballer.
