Makis Chatzis (Greek: Μάκης Χατζής; born 30 March 1957) is a Greek former football player who played as full-back.
Club career
Chatzis began his football career at APON Smyrnis where he played until 1979, when he moved to Apollon Athens. In the summer of 1984 he was transferred to AEK Athens. He immediately became a key player of the club, playing mainly on the right side of the defense, but he was also used as a left-back. He was present in big European games with the club with opponents such as Real Madrid,[1] Internazionale,[2] Athletic Bilbao,[3] and Marseille.[4] In 1987, with the arrival of Christos Vasilopoulos in the team, Chatzis began losing his place in the starting line-up. However, he was used quite often at both sides of the defense, while during in 1989 he won the championship with the "yellow-blacks". After the promotion of Georgios Koutoulas and the signing of Vaios Karagiannis, the appearances were cut even more. In his 8-year spell at AEK he did not manage to score a sigle goal in any official match. With AEK he won 2 Championships, 1 Super Cup and 1 League Cup. In the summer of 1992 he decided to retire from football at the age of 35.[5]
After football
Chatzis has from time to time a strong participation in the association of veteran footballers of AEK.[6][7][8]
