'''IoannisGiannis Gounaris''' (Greek: Γιάννης Γούναρης; born 6 July 1952) is a retired Greek retired [[Association football|footballer]] and [[Manager (association football)|coach]].

Born in [[Thessaloniki]], Gounaris was a right back who played for [[PAOK FC]] and [[Olympiacos FC]] in the 1970s and 80s.<ref name="Ev">{{cite web|publisher=Evrytania News|author=Kolokotsios, Lambros|script-title=el:Αθλητικοί Φάκελοι (ΓΟΥΝΑΡΗΣ)|trans-title=Sporting Capsules (Gounaris)|url=http://www.evrytanika.com/article.php?id=6940|language=Greekel|date=1 November 2010|access-date=4 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111018154246/http://evrytanika.com/article.php?id=6940|archive-date=18 October 2011|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> He earned 27 caps for the [[Greece national football team|GreekGreece National team]], and participated in [[UEFA Euro 1980|Euro 1980]].

In the early 1970s Gounaris became known for his plowing runs down the whole right wing, transitioning defence into offence. His partnership with PAOK's left fullback Kostas Iosifidis became formidable not only for PAOK, but for the [[Greece national football team|GreekGreece Nationalnational team]] as well. The two backs played a vital role in the team that won PAOK its first ever championship. The duo would go on to play in seven cup finals for PAOK, from 1970 through to 1978. Although Iosifidis decided to remain at [[PAOK F.C.|PAOK]] for the duration of his career, Gounaris transferred to PAOK's most fierce rival [[Olympiacos F.C.|Olympiacos]], once his twelve-year contract expired. PAOK's fans never forgave him for what they saw as betrayal, but his fatal crosses and unceasing runs down the flank ensured that he would always be part of the club's history.

After his retirement as a football player, he went on to manage PAOK F.C. in the 1990s, as well as having a very brief tenure with Olympiacos F.C.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sportdog.gr/v3/article.aspx?id=141683 |title=Olympiakos's 10 Shortest Lived Managers |publisher=Sportdog.gr |accessdateaccess-date=2010-08-06 }}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> He end his career with [[Makedonikos F.C.|Makedonikos]] in 1987.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.onsports.gr/afieromata/story/90301/to-kamari-tis-neapolis | title=Το καμάρι της Νεάπολης | language=el | publisher=OnSports | date=11 July 2011 | author=Λιαλιάτσης, Γιάννης (Lialiatsis, Giannis) | accessdateaccess-date=23 March 2018 }}</ref>
