Petros Ravousis (Greek: Πέτρος Ραβούσης; born 1 October 1954) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as defender and a former manager.
Club career
[edit]Ravousis took his first football steps in Aetos Skydra from where he was transferred to AEK Athens in the summer of 1972. A dynamic and tough defender, who was developed by the then coach František Fadrhonc. The Czech coach, by moving Lakis Nikolaou from the attack to the center of defense and pairing him with Ravousis, created one of the best defensive duos in Greek football history, as the one complemented the other's capabilities.[1] Ravousis, being dynamic and agile, also contributed to the team's scoring, usually in set-pieces in the opponent's area. He was a key player in AEK's course to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in the 1977. In the 12 years he played at AEK, he won 2 Championships and 2 Greek Cups including a domestic double in 1978. In the summer of 1984, and after he had first taken care to prepare his successor as the leader of the "yellow-black" defense, Stelios Manolas, Ravousis left AEK and wore the shirt of Levadiakos. After two seasons at the club of Livadeia, in the summer of 1988 he retired from as a footballer at the age of 34.[2]
International career
[edit]Ravousis played with Greece in 22 matches, in the period between 1976 and 1981. He made his debut on 10 November 1976 under Lakis Petropoulos in a friendly match against Austria, held in Kavala.[3] He was a member of the team in the final phase of UEFA Euro 1980 in Italy, where competed against Germany[4]
Managerial career
[edit]Immediately after his retirement, Ravousis started his managerial career in 1988, as the assistant coach of Dušan Bajević at AEK Athens, in a period where the team played amazing football and won 4 championships and 1 cup. With Bajević leaving for Olympiakos in the summer of 1996, the owner of the club, Michalis Trochanas appointed Ravousis as Bajević's successor at the bench of the team. Yet again AEK played excellent football and won the cup and the super cup, reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, while finishing at the 2nd place in the league. That season Ravousis defeated his "teacher" Bajević in 3 of the 4 matches they faced each other. Trochanas created problems for Ravousis made him leave after the end of the season. After AEK, Ravousis sat on the bench of various smaller clubs, such as Paniliakos, Panetolikos, Veria, AEK Larnaca, Akratitos and Marko until 2005, where he stayed away from the football benches.[5]
