Antonis Mavreas (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.; born 2 November 1965) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as a defender for Kalamata, PAOK and Ethnikos Piraeus. He later worked as a football manager and executive and is recognized as a prominent figure in Messinian football history.

Playing career

Mavreas began his football career at Prasina Poulia, a minor local club of his hometown, and in 1985 he joined the city's biggest team, Kalamata. In December 1987, at the age of 20, his solid performances earned him a transfer to PAOK in the top-tier Alpha Ethniki. The move came after a recommendation by Stavros Sarafis, who scouted him in several third-division matches.^[1]

During his time with the Thessaloniki-based club, Mavreas made 59 appearances in all competitions (46 in the league, 11 in the Cup and 2 in the UEFA Cup) and scored one league goal.^[2]^[3] The most notable moment of his tenure at PAOK occurred during the 1988–89 season, when he featured in the UEFA Cup ties against Diego Maradona's Napoli.^[4]

In December 1989, after two years at PAOK, Mavreas signed with Ethnikos Piraeus, where he played until 1993. He eventually returned to Kalamata to finish his playing career. As the team's captain, he helped Kalamata to be promoted back to Greece's top flight in 1995 scoring 7 goals.^[5] Mavreas stated that the worst moment of his career was when he received a late-night phone call by a Kalamata official to be informed that he would be released ahead of their top-tier Alpha Ethniki campaign.

Post-playing career

After retiring from professional football, Mavreas transitioned into management and administrative roles, remaining connected to his former clubs and homeland:

Messinia Football Clubs Association: He has coached numerous clubs of the Messinia region, including Pamisos Messini, Erani Filiatra, A.E. Manis, Akritas Koronis, Asteras Arfaron, Ethnikos Meligala, Panthouriakos, Dorieas Doriou, A.O. Diavolitsiou, Telos Agras, Anagennisi Paralias, A.O. Sperchogeias.
PAOK Veterans Association: In February 2022, he was elected Vice President of the PAOK veteran players association.^[6]
Kalamata: He served as the General Manager and Head of Football for the club between 2023 and 2025. He also briefly stepped up as a caretaker manager for the team in May 2023.^[7]
