Club career
He was playing for the second team of Skoda Xanthi. Later on, in 2011 he signed a contract with the Cypriot team Omonia. In July 2014 he signed for Fokikos.[1] On 30 December 2014 he signed for Iraklis for two and a half years.[2]
On 10 August 2017 he signed for PAS Giannina for a year.[3]
On 26 June 2018, Giannikoglou signed with AEK Athens until the summer of 2021. The 25-year old goalkeeper Giannikoglou, who only made four Super League appearances with PAS Giannina in the 2017–18 campaign, has signed a three-year deal with AEK after his PAS Giannina's contract reached its conclusion. AEK confirmed the transfer with this following statement on their official website: “AEK FC announces the arrival of goalkeeper Makis Giannikoglou, who has signed a cooperation agreement until the summer of 2021.” In an interview with the official AEK's site, Giannikoglou shared his emotions from the move:“I am very happy to be an AEK player, it’s a dream come true,” beamed Giannikoglou. “I am delighted to work with Vasilis Barkas and Panagiotis Tsintotas, the goalkeepers which made AEK champions alongside Giannis Anestis. It’s a great incentive for any Greek footballer to wear the AEK shirt, my goal is to work hard and be ready for when I receive a chance.” [4]
International career
He debuted for Greece U17 in 2009 in a friendly match against Belarus national under-17 football team.[1] He appeared in two more matches in 2010 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Liechtenstein.[1]
