Club career
Kalitzakis started his career in
In the summer of 1997, he was released by Panathinaikos and the people of AEK Athens did not miss the opportunity to sign him. He had a pretty good presence for three years with many different partners by his side, without usually losing his place in the lineup. Despite this, he did not reach the standards of performance that he previously achieved at Panathinaikos. Kalitzakis and AEK won 1 cup in 2000. He left the team in 2000 following the decision of the coach, Giannis Pathiakakis.[2] After AEK he played for one season at Ethnikos Asteras before ending his career.
International career
Kalitzakis played for Greece from 16 December 1987 to 1999. He had 71 caps in total, including three appearances at the 1994 FIFA World Cup.
After football
After the end of his career, he served as the head of Panelefsiniakos' academies and general captain of Paniliakos. In 2009 he returned to Panathinaikos as a member of the scouting department, a position he held for a year. In 2022 he became General manager of Panathinaikos B[3]
