Michalis Vlachos (Greek: Μιχάλης Βλάχος; born 20 September 1967) is a Greek football manager and a former professional footballer who played as a defender.
Career
[edit]Vlachos began his career with Apollon Smyrnis, where he was called up for a debut with Greece in 1989. He competed as a centre-back, but he could just easily play as a defensive midfielder.
In 1991 he moved to Olympiacos, where he played for two seasons, winning a Greek Cup and a Greek Super Cup in 1992.[1]
In the summer of 1993 he signed for AEK Athens.[2] In his first season at the yellow-blacks he won the Championship.[3] In the following season, Vlachos had the opportunity to participate in the first ever group stag of the UEFA Champions League, scoring in a 1–3 defeat to Casino Salzburg.[4] He established himself in the squad and after few seasons he also became one of the team's captains.[5] On 29 January 1998 he was released from AEK Athens.[6]
Afterwards, Vlachos joined English First Division club Portsmouth, for whom he made over 50 league appearances as a midfielder and sweeper in two years. He joined Walsall in February 2000, making 12 appearances for the club prior to relegation in May of the same year.[7]
Vlachos returned to Greece in the summer of 2000, joining Ionikos. He finished his career with his first club Apollon, retiring in 2003.[7]
