Georgios Manousos (Greek: Γιώργος Μανούσος; born 3 December 1987) is a Greek footballer. He currently plays for Atromitos.
Career
Born in Mytilene, Manousos began playing football with local side Aiolikos F.C. in the Football League 2. In the summer of 2008 he joined OFI and he made his debut in Super League on 4 October 2008 against Larissa. On 30 October 2011 he made his debut for Kalloni F.C. After five years with the club, Manousos attracts the interest of Atromitos which are interested in signing 28-year-old striker after his announcement that is intended to leave his current club at the end of season.
On April 2016, Manousos announced his intention to leave Kalloni F.C., which suffered relegation to Football League, at the end of the current season and two Super League's clubs are already monitoring his case. Asteras Tripoli and Platanias are interested in signing the 28-year-old striker, who has scored 14 times in 101 Super League career appearances and was the first scorer of Kalloni in this season's Super League (6 goals in 28 performances). He left the club having 169 appearances (40 goals, 9 assists) in all competitions. Eventually on 8 June 2016, Manousos signed with Platanias a two years' contact for an undisclosed fee, returning to Crete after 5 years. On 3 May 2017, Giorgos Manousos will be released from Platanias F.C. immediately, after his controversial interview. The 30-year-old player stated that nothing happened in the locker rooms of Karaiskaki Stadium during the halftime of recent Super League game agaonst Olympiacos], in spite of his teammates' (such as Alexis Apostolopoulos) official statements about violent behavior from the Reds, so the president of Cretan club Manolis Mathioudakis told him during 1st May training that he should be ashamed of yourself for that interview. On 27 May 2017 Atromitos announced the signing of Manousos on a two-year deal.
