Managerial career
When he finished his career as a football player, Ouzounidis managed the team of Kappadokes Alexandoupolis (
He accepted an offer from
In the summer of 2013, Ouzounidis took over management of
In December 2014, Ouzounidis was appointed as manager of Panionios, with which he had a high rate of success over two domestic campaigns, having recorded 28 wins and 20 draws in 70 games.[7] On 10 August 2016, his contract with the club was terminated unilaterally, mainly because of disloyalty issues raised by the board, due to Ouzounidis simultaneously being in talks with Olympiacos over a potential career move.[8]
On 1 December 2016, Ouzounidis agreed upon a one-and-a-half-year contract with Panathinaikos to take over the vacant managerial role at the club, right after the departure of former manager Andrea Stramaccioni.[9] His first game in charge was a 1–0 victory over PAOK at Leoforos Alexandras Stadium three days later.[10] He was credited with being eager to manage the team despite the chairman Giannis Alafouzos halting the club's funding and imposing radical budget cuts as a means of reducing Panathinaikos' debt. On 7 May 2018, Ouzounidis announced that he would leave the club after the expiration of his contract, expressing his openness to returning to Panathinaikos in the future under different financial and administrative circumstances.[11]
On 25 May 2018, Ouzounidis was appointed as manager of
After over a year break from the game, in February 2020, he returned for a second stint in the Cypriot First Division as manager of Apoel. Just like his first stint, he failed to help the team enter the group stages either of the champions league or the Europa League and combined with poor form in the domestic league, he was subsequently dismissed as manager on 28 October 2020.
On 23 July 2021, Ouzounidis was fired as Universitatea Craiova head coach following a 0-1 loss against Albanian underdogs Laçi in the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round.[13]
On 27 February 2022, Ouzounidis was appointed as manager of Saudi Arabian club Al Faisaly.[14]
On 21 January 2023, Ouzounidis was once again appointed as the manager of Al-Faisaly.[15] He was sacked on 16 March 2023.[16]
On 14 June 2023, Ouzounidis signed a contract to manage the Iranian football club Gol Gohar Sirjan.[17]
