Giannis Anestis (Greek: Γιάννης Ανέστης; born 9 March 1991) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Cypriot club AEL Limassol.[2]

Career

Panionios

He started playing football at Panionios' youth team, and was promoted to the first team in 2010. His first appearance was on 21 April 2013 against Olympiacos in Karaiskakis Stadium. Panionios lost the match 2–1.

AEK Athens

On 23 January 2014, Anestis signed a three-year contract with

Super League. At the summer of 2015, AEK has signed with Venezuelan international goalie Alain Baroja who will start as a first choice for Traianos Dellas
squad.

On 21 December 2015 he made his debut with

Skoda Xanthi, as he saved Dani Nieto's penalty kick, helping his club to retain the second place in the league.[6]

Due to the injury of

2017–18 season. The remarkable appearances during the first two months of the season, was a passport to be called by Michael Skibbe in the Greece national team for the upcoming crucial games against Cyprus and Gibraltar. On 20 October 2017, was included in UEFA Europa League's team of the week, after his impressive performance at away draw against AC Milan (0–0). "An inspired goalkeeping performance by Anestis helped keep Milan at bay as AEK managed a goalless draw at San Siro. Anestis made eight saves, produced three high claims, and made four clearances.", was written at the official website of UEFA about the 26-year-old international of the Greek club.[7]
[8]

At the beginning of December, according to various sources, the gap between AEK and Anestis for the renewal of his contract seems to be unbridgeable. The international goalkeeper is free at the end of the

season. At the end of the season Olympiacos want to replace the experienced Belgian-Italian international goalkeeper Silvio Proto with the Greek goalie whose current contract with AEK expires in the summer of 2018 and it will not be extended.[10]

Hapoel Be'er Sheva

Anestis signed with Israeli champion Hapoel Be'er Sheva for three seasons, for an undisclosed fee.[11] On 2 August 2018, after the game against GNK Dinamo Zagreb for UEFA Champions League 2nd qualifying round, AEK's former goalkeeper has been harshly criticized by the press for his appearance in the 5–0 away loss, and according to reports, the administration of the club even discusses the solution of his co-operation with him.[12]

On 31 August 2018, the club announced that Anestis had been released.[13]

IFK Göteborg

On 26 November 2018, following an unsuccessful passage from Israel, Anestis signed a contract with Swedish club IFK Göteborg till the summer of 2020 for an undisclosed fee.[14] On 17 February 2019, he made his debut with the club in a 2–0 Svenska Cupen match against Nyköpings BIS.
