Paniliakos fired Stelios on 20 January 2013. Other managerial stints followed including a short spell with A.E._Kifisia_F.C. in 2016 and assisting the national team manager Angelos Anastasiadis during his position as the Greece national team coach in 2018–19. There were some widespread but short-lived talk in 2015 that Stelios was heading a consortium to take over the financially troubled Bolton Wanderers but this did not materialise. Stelios has been a vocal critic of how football is run in Greece, in March 2015 he said in an interview with BBC Sport that he feared continued violence at games threatened the future of the sport in his country. The Greek government had suspended professional football play three times that season because of violence at matches. "Football people like myself, we are little bit concerned about football in Greece in the future," said Stelios. He also added: "We need support from UEFA, from [world players' union] FIFPro and of course we need support from the Greek government, which is completely new. All these [should] sit down together at the same table and take some decisions." Personal life Stelios' second born son, Dimitris, is also a footballer and as of 2022 plays for the Bolton Wanderers Academy.
