Olympiacos Piraeus announced on Tuesday that it has extended the contract of veteran guard-forward Giannoulis Larentzakis through the summer of 2028. The Greek international has been a fixture in the Reds’ rotation since joining the club in 2020, and his new deal secures his future in Piraeus for four more seasons.
Larentzakis (1.96 meters, 31 years old) comes off a quite season, in which he averaged just 2.6 points in 17 EuroLeague appearances, but he provided 9.1 points and 2.4 assists per game in Greek League action to help the Reds take the crown.
“I’ll continue to give 100%,” Larentzakis told the Olympiacos web site. “I’m very happy to continue my journey with Olympiacos. I feel the need to thank everyone involved… for the trust they’ve shown me all these years.
“When I first came here, I wanted to prove I could contribute at the highest level. I think I’ve done that. I gave everything, and I’ll keep doing that for the years ahead.”
In his five seasons with the club, Larentzakis has helped Olympiacos reach the EuroLeague Final Four on four occasions. He has also won the Greek League and the Greek Cup three times each.
Larentzakis began his career with Egaleo AO and also played for Ikaros Kallitheas, Aris Thessaloniki, VAP Kolossos Rodou and AEK Athens in his native Greece and for UCAM Murcia in Spain. He helped AEK win the BCL and the Greek Cup in 2018 and the Intercontinental Cup in 2019. Larentzakis played for the Greek national team at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and is on the provisional roster for EuroBasket 2025.
