He started playing football for his hometown's local team Aghia Eleousa and managed a place in Greece U-17 national team. His talent was spotted by Skoda Xanthi's scouts and he was transferred there in 1996. He played for their first team for 4 years, from 1996–1997 to 1999–2000.
He was considered to be one of Greece's top footballing talents, along with Giourkas Seitaridis, until he was devastatingly injured in 2003, at a derby game between Olympiacos and AEK Athens. Just before his injury, Olympiakos declined a £6m offer from Manchester United for Patsatzoglou who was in Sir Alex Ferguson plans. He work to recover from his injury for about two years, and made his comeback near the end of the 2004–2005 season.
He stated that he was healthy again and that it was up to his coach, Trond Sollied to play him now. Sollied was not sure if Patsatzoglou could play again in such a competitive level, but he was willing to give him more chances in the 2005–2006 season.
During the season 2006/2007, Patsatzoglou suffered another knee injury, unrelated to his previous one, at the away Champions League match against Roma. Upon his return, he played a handful of games.
In the 2007–08 season, Patsatzoglou scored the winning the goal in the UEFA Champions League match against Werder Bremen. The goal would lead to Olympiakos' first Champions League away win, finishing 1–3.
On 1 June 2009 it was announced that Patsatzoglou will play for his ex-coach Takis Lemonis, this time though for Cypriot club Omonia Nicosia. Patsatzoglou agreed to a 2-year deal earning €800,000. Patsatzoglou indicated he wants to leave in the summer transfer window and return to Greece. Being played out of position at centre-back has been cited as the reason for his desire to leave. Patsatzoglou only played six league matches due to his long term injury.
On 30/8/10 Patsatzoglou agreed on terms with AEK Athens signing a 1-year deal.[1] Patsatzoglou was also rejoined with manager Dusan Bajevic. Patsatzoglou was given the number 2. Patsatzoglou made his debut for AEK against Panserraikos coming on as a substitute. He is no longer with AEK Athens since January 2011.
In January 2011 Patsatzouglou signed for PAS Giannina F.C. a team in the second division hoping to get again in Super League Greece.
Patsatzoglou was selected for the 2002 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, although he had already made his full debut against Germany. He appeared once in a qualifying match for UEFA EURO 2004, but not in the final tournament itself.
Patsatzoglou was part of the 23 man squad that represented Greece at Euro 2008. He also participated in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, making two appearances against South Korea and Argentina, both as a substitute.
