Club career
Levadiakos
On January transfer window of 2012, he joined Levadiakos from Football League club Pierikos.[1] On 26 April 2015, he made his debut for the first team in a home game against Atromitos.
AEK Athens
On 24 June 2017, Tsintotas joined AEK Athens from the Super League on a three-year contract.[2] On 1 October 2017 he made his Super League debut in a 2–0 away defeat against Asteras Tripolis.[3] On 7 December 2017, he made his international debut, playing with the club as a starter in a 0–0 away UEFA Europa League game against Austria Wien helping AEK to secure point needed to join Milan in round of last 32 in Europa League.[4]
According to various sources, AEK’s goalie, Tsintotas, is expected to be in Michael Skibbe’s call-ups for Greece’s upcoming friendlies in March. He has been exceptional for AEK since taking over as the club’s new #1 after Giannis Anestis’ relations with the club took a wrong turn, leaving him sidelined since January. Michael Skibbe is expected to call-up Tsintotas for Greece’s upcoming friendlies in March against Switzerland and Egypt as the national team prepares for the UEFA Nations League, which kicks off in September.[5]
On 29 August 2018, Tsintotas agreed to a contract extension with AEK, until the summer of 2023.[6]
