Savvas Poursaitidis (Template:Lang-el, born 23 June 1976) is a Greek-born Cypriot former professional footballer who played mainly as a right back. He is the current professional football manager for Cypriot First Division club APOEL.
Club career
Savvas Poursaitidis started his career at Doxa Drama. He also played for Veria, Olympiacos and Skoda Xanthi in Greece. Later, he moved to Cyprus to play for Digenis Morphou, Ethnikos Achna, Anorthosis and APOEL.
APOEL
APOEL signed Poursaitidis in June 2008, after the player was released from Anorthosis as a result from a failure in negotiations with his former club to renew his contract. In his first year with APOEL he continued to impress Cypriot football fans with his high level performances. In the end, he helped APOEL to be crowned champions after one unsuccessful season.
The next season (2009–10) Poursaitidis helped APOEL to achieve the greatest success in its history and reach the UEFA Champions League group stage. He appeared in five official 2009–10 UEFA Champions League group stage matches with APOEL.
After he won the championship again on season 2010–11 with APOEL, the Board of Directors renewed his contract, as they recognized that Poursaitidis was one of the key players that contributed greatly towards winning the Championship.
In summer 2011, he managed to reach the UEFA Champions League group stage for the second time in his career and he appeared in nine 2011–12 UEFA Champions League matches for APOEL, in the club's surprising run to the quarter-finals of the competition.
In May 2012, Poursaitidis decided to retire from professional football, ending his four-year successful spell with the club.
International career
In August 2009 he gained the Cypriot nationality and made his debut with Cyprus national team in March 2010 in a friendly match against Iceland. He has made 12 appearances with the national team.
Scouting career
On 31 July 2012, after retiring from his football career, Poursaitides agreed with the Board of Directors of APOEL to be the Chief Scout of APOEL's newly created Scouting Department. On 7 June 2013, APOEL announced that the club will not renew Poursaitides contract as a chief scout.
Managerial career
Poursaitidis started his managerial career on 23 October 2016, when he was appointed as the manager of the Cypriot First Division side Anagennisi Deryneia. On 25 January 2017, after only three months in charge, he left the team to take over as the manager of Doxa Katokopias. On 30 April 2017 he left the team. He later became the manager of Nea Salamis Famagusta.
