Akis Zikos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andreas Vassilis "Akis" Zikos born June 1, 1974 is a Greek football player currently playing for AEK Athens FC. He started his professional career in 1993 with Skoda Xanthi and he spent there 4 seasons. Between 1998 and 2002 he was an integral part of AEK. In the summer of 2002 he was signed by AS Monaco in which he proved how much talented he was: In 2004 AS Monaco (under Didier Deschamps) managed to qualify for the Uefa Champions League Final against José Mourinho's FC Porto in Arena Auf Schalke, Gelsenkirchen and despite their heavy loss (3-0 for FC Porto), Akis Zikos was one of the best Monaco players on the pitch that day. In 2006, and after 4 full successful years in France, Akis Zikos decided to return to his country to play for his favorite team, AEK. He has won 12 caps for Greece, but has been out of favor of Otto Rehhagel for years.
