Ilias Solakis (Greek: Ηλίας Σολάκης; born 15 December 1974) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as a forward. He is the manager of PAS Florina.

Club career

[edit]

Solakis began his career at his local club, PAS Florina. In 1994 he moved to Veria, where he played in the first division during the 1996–97 and 1997–98 seasons.[1] During his spell at the club he was loaned to Almopos Aridea for a season. In 1998 Solakis signed for Panachaiki, where he also played in the first division during the 1999–2000 and 2000–01 seasons.[2]

In summer of 2001 he moved to APOEL, where he helped the club to win the 2001–02 Cypriot First Division by scoring 15 goals in 26 appearances.[3] On 5 August 2002 Solakis returned to Greece and signed for AEK Athens, but was sent to Panionios as a loan.[4] He returned to AEK on January 2003,[5] where he spent the rest of the season. In the summer of 2003 he was loaned to Niki Volos for a season. Afterwards, he returned to the club of Athens and spent a season where he was used as a back-up option.

On 26 August Solakis was transferred to Doxa Drama.[6] In the following season he signed for Kastoria, where he made the best season of his career scoring 21 goals in 35 matches and emerged as the top scorer of the second division.[7] He then moved to PAS Giannina, where he played for two seasons and signed for Diagoras. In 2010 he joined Olympiacos Volos, where he got the chance to play in the first division. In the summer of 2011 the expulsion of the club from the first division and their relegation to the fourth division, resulted in Solakis leaving the club.[8] On 29 September 2011 he signed a 1-year contract with Asteras Tripolis.[9] After his contract was expired he returned to Panachaiki for a brief spell and then back to Olympiacos Volos.

In 2013 Solakis took a break from football that lasted about a year and then returned, joining Anagennisi Ptolemaida.[10] In 2015 he moved to Makedonikos Foufa, where he played for a season. Afterwards, he returned to PAS Florina, where he ended his career in 2017.[11]
