Club career

AEK Athens

2009–10 season

Manolas began his youth career at Thrasyvoulos in 2007. In 2009, his uncle Stelios Manolas, who was the AEK Athens' technical director at the time, was scouting his nephew at a youth match with AEK manager Dušan Bajević and was impressed with his performance.[2]

On 16 June 2009, Manolas signed a three-year deal with AEK.

man of the match. After the game, he stated, "It's a dream to play for the club I love." Manolas was also rewarded with man of the match honours the following week against PAOK
. In his first seven matches, Manolas was named man of the match in five of them.

Manolas scored his first professional goal against archrivals Olympiacos on 19 May 2010.[4] Although he was playing with a broken jugal bone since the first minute of the match after a dangerous nudge by Kostas Mitroglou, he scored in the sixth minute, though he later left the match in the 15th minute. He refused to be taken to the hospital before the match was over, despite being urged by his uncle Stelios Manolas. The next day, he underwent a successful three-hour surgery, recovered and quickly returned to training sessions.

2010–11 season

Manolas was a key figure for AEK Athens in the

Real Madrid loanee David Mateos
to the substitutes' bench.

Manolas developed massively while playing alongside AEK icon and UEFA Euro 2004 winner Traianos Dellas, stating to the press, "It is an honour to play alongside such a great player like Dellas, I have developed and become a better player. His experience has helped me become confident on the ball and the decisions I make in the game. I have learned a lot from him and he is basically like a teacher to me who I look up to."

On 30 April 2011, Manolas won the first trophy of his career, the

0–3
victory, Manolas stated, "It is a dream for me to win a trophy with my childhood club AEK, and I hope there's many more to come in the future." He finished the 2010–11 season playing 36 matches, scoring three goals.

2011–12 season

On 11 July 2011, Manolas signed a three-year contract extension with AEK, keeping him at the club until 2014.[6] His contract was worth €900,000 earning €300,000 per-season including bonuses that could reach up to €1.4 million. Manolas renewed his contract despite interested from big European outfits Werder Bremen, Sevilla, Wolfsburg and Hamburger SV.[7] Manolas agreed with AEK on €4 million buyout clause for foreign teams and a €10 million buyout clause for Greek teams.[8]

Manolas playing for AEK in 2011.

Shortly after signing the contract, Manolas stated to the press, "I am extremely happy that I am going to continue playing for the team of my heart and it is an honour to wear the AEK Jersey for the next three years with my childhood club. I applaud AEK president Stavros Adamidis who believes in me and declined great offers from European teams to keep me at the club despite the huge economical problems the club is suffering. My dream now is to become the team's captain and win the league just like my uncle Stelios Manolas, who achieved this when he joined AEK."[9]

Manolas started the season positively, playing his first competitive match of the

AEK Athens
having 85 appearances (6 goals) in all competitions.

Olympiacos

2012–13 season

On 1 July 2012, Manolas joined rivals

Asteras Tripolis.[15]

Manolas made his Olympiacos debut against

Skoda Xanthi in a 4–0 home win.[4] Manolas made 24 appearances for Olympiacos in the league that season, helping them win the Superleague.[4] On 11 May 2013, he played in the Greek Cup Final against Asteras Tripoli, winning 3–1 to clinch a league and cup double for the season.[4][16]

2013–14 season

Reports in Greece suggested that English clubs

Fernando Santos' plans, with Greece at the time in second place in their World Cup qualifying group behind Bosnia and Herzegovina. Manolas, however, was unlikely to seriously consider any move that would see his chances of first-team football jeopardised.[17] It was also reported that then-Manchester United head coach David Moyes targeted the Olympiacos defender as a replacement for Nemanja Vidić after confirming the latter's departure from Old Trafford at the end of 2013–14 season to Internazionale, while United's other starting central defender, Rio Ferdinand, would later follow his teammate out, leaving United short of quality in central defence. Moyes would end up being sacked and rumours of a move immediately ceased.[18]

Manolas scored his first goal for Olympiacos in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League in a 1–0 home win against Benfica, building the foundations for the next round.[19] He scored his second goal in the Champions League in a 2–1 away loss against Paris Saint-Germain,[20] though nonetheless the squad secured a spot in the round of 16—the first time the club had reached the stage since 2009–10—in matchup against Manchester United. With United failing to display their usual dominant domestic form that term, Manolas thought the Greek champions had what it takes to make the Champions League quarter-finals for only the second time: "I believe we will give a good performance. I hope Manchester United will not get better than they are now, so we can defeat them."[21] Despite winning the first leg 2–0 at home, Olympiacos fell as Manchester United's Robin van Persie hit a hat-trick in the return leg in Manchester to progress 3–2 on aggregate.[22]

On 22 March 2014, Manolas extended his contract with Olympiacos for another year, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2017.[23][24] He left Olympiacos having 73 appearances (6 goals, 2 assists) in all competitions.

Roma

2014–15 season

On 27 August 2014, Italian

Juve. But it was my decision to come here to Roma. I wanted to come to Roma. Lots of people told me good things. Their advice and my decision is what brought me here. The club has big goals. I want to win the Scudetto, as does the whole squad. We can also go far in the Champions League."[25]

On 30 August 2014, Manolas made his official debut for Roma as they beat Fiorentina 2–0 in the opening game of the 2014–15 Serie A season. On 17 September, he made his first European appearance with Roma in the Champions League as they cruised to an impressive 5–1 victory over CSKA Moscow.[26] On 5 October, Manolas was sent off in a match against Juventus for retaliating after being fouled by Álvaro Morata, who was sent off as well.[27] The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) subsequently banned Manolas for two games for his part in the altercation.[28]

Manolas' impressive first year with his club garnered interest from many other European sides, including Premier League giants Arsenal, though the player's agent, Mino Raiola, said that Manolas was not interested in discussing the rumours: "Kostas is a Roma player, and anyone who wants him will have to ask the club. All I can say is the lad has a contract until 2019. Roma paid a lot for him, and that means they have a lot of expectations for him."[29]

Manolas enjoyed an excellent first season in Serie A, cementing his place at the heart of manager

Seydou Keita (18%) and Juan Iturbe (8%).[31]

2015–16 season

Manolas began the

Sampdoria, with Manolas scoring an own goal.[34]

On 26 September, Manolas scored his first goal in the

Carpi 5–1. He opened the scoring after netting Lucas Digne's clever assist with his right boot besides the challenge in the box from Carpi's Gabriel Silva.[35]

On 5 December, in a dramatic 1–1 away draw against

Torino in domestic league action, Manolas brought down Andrea Belotti inside the area, whereupon Maxi López coolly converted the subsequent 94th-minute penalty kick. Despite replays suggesting the Greek defender may well have gotten the ball in the challenge, the referee nonetheless awarded the penalty.[36][37] On 11 December, towards the end of a Champions League match against Belarusians BATE Borisov, Manolas engaged in a quarrel with teammate Miralem Pjanić for mishandling a ball possession. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the two players continued the fighting into the team's locker room.[38][39]

as the de facto leader of the Roma defence.

In September 2016,

A.S. Roma's proposal on the extension of his contract, which expires in 2019, despite the fact that the management was ready to raise the salary of the Greek centre back from €1.8 million to €2.5 million per year. According to the newspapers sources, the 25-year-old international player saw that almost 12 players had a higher salary than his and now expects an improved offer.[48]

On 23 October 2016, Manolas reached 100 appearances with the jersey of Roma, in a 4–1 home win

Genoa. On 25 May 2017, a week before the end of the season, Manolas and Diego Perotti came a step away from putting their hands on them during training. To avoid the worst, only the provisional intervention of teammates, along with Luciano Spalletti's decision to send them to the dressing room without even finishing the training, helped to lower the tension.[53][54]

Manolas playing for Roma in 2018.

2017–18 season

Despite a possible move to

FC Zenit, following teammate Leandro Paredes, during the summer of 2017[55][56][57][58] Manolas remained at Roma for the 2017–18 season. On 27 September 2017, he opened the scoring in a 2–1 away win against Qarabağ FK in the UEFA Champions League Group stage.[59]

On 2 December 2017, the Greek international renewed his contract with the Giallorossi, until 2022, with a release clause set at €35 million.[60] On 15 October 2017, the Greek defender was substituted during the Serie A match against Napoli that took place at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The Greek defender was out for almost a month due to a Grade I strain of his left adductor longus (thigh) muscle.[61] On 31 October 2017, he returned to the squad in a convincing 3–0 Champions League home game against English champions Chelsea F.C.[62] On 5 November 2017, he scored his first goal in 2017-18 season from an Edin Džeko assist in a 4–2 away win against Fiorentina.[63]

On 9 March 2018, he scored the first goal in a 3–0 win with a header against

SPAL during a 3–0 away win in Serie A, after receiving the armband from his teammate Radja Nainggolan.[68]

The 26-year-old centre-back was one of Roma's most consistent players over the course of the campaign, proving to be a reliable figure in the Italians' defence.

2018–19 season

Despite the yearly summer rumours surrounding his possible departure from the club, Manolas remained at Roma for a fifth season, aiming to win his first title with the club during the 2018–19 season.

cross following a corner, helping his club to a vital 2–1 away win against CSKA Moscow in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.[72] His impressive performance saw him included in UEFA Champions League's team of the week the following day.[73] On 15 November, Manolas was forced off during Greece's 1–0 win over Finland due to a blow to the adductor magnus muscle in his leg. He underwent scans to determine the severity but it appears unlikely that he will return to fitness in time. Manolas has been at the heart of Eusebio Di Francesco's defence since the Italian took over the reins in the summer.[74] On 6 March 2019, Manolas made his 200th appearance in all competitions with Roma in the second leg of the club's round of 16 UEFA Champions League tie against FC Porto; Manolas played the full 120 minutes as Roma lost 3–1 at home to exit the Champions League. Reports from the Italian media later confirmed that the 27-year-old had strained a muscle, and would miss around three weeks of action, meaning that he would not be expected to participate in his nation's UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Liechtenstein and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[75]

Napoli

2019–20 season

On 27 June 2019, Manolas was close to a move to

Napoli after Roma and the Neapolitan club reached a deal for the Greek defender. Manolas agreed to pen a five-year contract with the latter club, with annual earnings of €4.5 million (including bonuses). Napoli officially purchased the defender for €34m plus a €2m signing-on fee, effectively activating his release clause. However, in the agreement between the two Italian sides, Roma purchased defensive midfielder Amadou Diawara for €18m plus €3m in add-ons. Manolas had also been linked with Juventus, Milan, and Arsenal.[76] He officially signed for Napoli on 30 June.[77][78]

On 24 August 2019, he made his debut with the club, starting in the 4–3 away win against Fiorentina.[79] A week later he scored his first goal for the club in a thrilling 4–3 away loss against Juventus, netting a goal with a header after a beautiful free-kick from Mário Rui.[80][81] On 28 September, Manolas scored his second goal of the season with a header after Nikola Maksimović's corner, helping his club seal a 2–1 home win game against Brescia.[82]

On 31 December, Manolas was included in the

Roma Team of the Decade.[83]

On 29 February 2020, Manolas connected with

Torino.[84]

On 16 May, Manolas was the first Napoli player to get injured since training resumed after the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. His club did not mention how long he would be out for, but 'Corriere dello Sport' reported that he would miss six weeks.[85]

2020–21 season

On 20 September 2020, Manolas was a starter in a 2–0 away win against Parma.

On 12 January 2021, Napoli confirmed that Manolas had suffered a first-degree muscle injury. The Partenopei defender was replaced by Nikola Maksimovic after 15 minutes of the 2–1 win against Udinese.[86]

On 8 February 2021, Napoli confirmed that Manolas would be out for three weeks, as he suffered a second-degree sprain and damaged the ligament in the right ankle. The Greek defender was substituted at the

Sassuolo on 3 March, but conceded a late penalty which Sassuolo converted to end the match in a 3–3 draw.[88]

2021–22 season

In August 2021, it was reported that Olympiacos had started negotiations with Napoli for the purchase of Manolas, with the player telling the club that he desired a return to Greece.

Venezia
.

On 21 October 2021, Manolas suffered an injury during Napoli's Europa League clash against Legia Warsaw. He was forced off the pitch in the 72nd minute with a suspected muscle injury.[90] In December 2021, having lost his place in the starting lineup to Amir Rrahmani, Manolas again expressed his desire to leave the club.[91] On 10 December, he made his first appearance for almost two months as a late substitute in a 3–2 home win game against Leicester City in the Europa League.[92]

Return to Olympiacos

2021–22 season

On 16 December 2021, Napoli announced an agreement for the sale of Manolas to Olympiacos in January 2022.

Apollon Smyrni in Georgios Kamaras Stadium, replacing Avraam Papadopoulos.[95]

Sharjah

In late September 2022, Manolas joined Emirati club Sharjah.[96] On 17 January 2024, after 18 months with the side, his contract was terminated by mutual agreement.[97]

Salernitana

On 8 February 2024, the former Roma defender Kostas Manolas is returning to Serie A to sign a short-term deal with Salernitana. The 32-year-old centre-back will join Filippo Inzaghi’s side on a contract that expires in June 2024.[98]

International career

Following a continued stretch of form from Manolas, former

Fernando Santos' final 23-man squad for the tournament.[99] It was in Brazil where the centre-back really caught the attention of the watching world, with a string of imperious displays that carried Greece into the knockout stages of the tournament for the first time in its history. He was named by The Independent as being among the 50 best players at the World Cup as the Greeks ultimately fell to Costa Rica.[100]

On 9 June 2017, Manolas and his Roma teammate

Bosnia-Herzegovina and Greece. The game ended 0–0 and descended into chaos after the final whistle, when numerous players and members of staff clashed.[101][102]

On 12 September 2018, Manolas netted his first goal with Greece, leaping over his marker to head a free kick through the goalkeeper's hands in a 2–1 away loss against Hungary for the Nations League.[103]

Style of play

Manolas possesses the speed to keep track of smaller, quicker attackers, while also possessing the strength and aggression needed to battle with more physical opponents. Without the ball, he is both assertive and attentive in his marking of opponents, never neglecting his defensive duties, and always keen for a challenge. He is also a deceptively quick footballer, given his size, able to sweep up behind a high-line but also having the versatility and discipline to play deeper. Although he is primarily known as a stopper, he is also a solid passer; indeed, few players better combine the virtues of an old-fashioned centre-half with the modern need to build play from the back. He is also known for his tackling and ability in the air.[104][105][106]

Personal life

Manolas is the nephew of the legendary Greek footballer Stelios Manolas,[2] and the cousin of Konstantinos Manolas.

He is fluent speaker of Greek, Italian, and English.
