Mimis Seltsikas (Greek: Μίμης Σέλτσικας; 1910 – ?) was a Greek footballer who played as a defender and a later manager.
Club career
[edit]In 1935 Seltsikas signed for AEK Athens. He was a member of the team that in 1939, coached by Kostas Negrepontis, won the first domestic double in Greece.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The following season AEK Athens won a second cosecutive championship, but as the previous season, he didn't make any appearance in the finals.[8][9][10] He stayed at the club throughout the events of the Occupation, where Greek football was mostly inactive[11] and he eventually left in 1946. During his spell at AEK, he won two consecutive Panhellenic Championships, one Cup and three Athens FCA Championships.[12]
Managerial career
[edit]After the retiring as a footballer, Seltsikas became involved in coaching, taking over Egaleo,[13] which he promoted two divisions in 4 years, from the 3rd Division of Athens in 1948 to the A2 Division of Athens in 1950. In 1951, he repeated his achievement as coach of Atromitos.[14] Subsequently, he took over the management of Panamvrakikos.[15][16]
