−	~~==International career==~~
−	Meanwhile, he carved out a distinguished international career. Playing for Greece at the 1984 UEFA European Under-18 Championship finals, four years later he helped his nation to the final of the UEFA European U21 Championship. He graduated to the senior team, and was in the squad that qualified for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. In all he won 44 caps, and his move into coaching was no surprise as he was considered a natural instructor even on the pitch.
−
−	~~==Coaching success==~~
−	After gaining a diploma in the Netherlands, in January [[2005]] he gained his first - and current - coaching role. Coach of the Under 19 Greek national football team. He proved an immediate success as he masterminded Greece's progress to these finals in late May with wins against Scotland, Austria and Slovakia. In the latter game, when Greece only needed a point, he played an attacking game for a 2-0 victory and explained: "We played to win, because we must never allow expedience to come into the picture for such young players. Football should be joyful and that's the idea we are trying to instill in them."
