Giannis Boutsakis (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Γιάννης Μπουτσάκης; born 8 February 1994) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Super League 2 club Giouchtas.
Born in Heraklion, Boutsakis began playing football at the age of 7, when his parents signed him up at the infrastructure segments of local club Atsalenios.[1] He was promoted to the senior squad in 2012, and stayed with the club until the summer of 2017, when he was transferred to Second Division club Ergotelis.[1]
Boutsakis made his professional debut for Ergotelis as a starter in the club's first match of the season during a 2−0 Cup loss against Panserraikos on 18 September 2017.[2] He kept his place as a regular starter throughout the duration of the season, and was called up by the club's administration to sign a new three-year contract in June 2018.[3]
