Michalis Sifakis (Greek: Μιχάλης Σηφάκης; born 9 September 1984) is a Greek footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Greek national team, who plays for Kortrijk.
Born in Heraklion, Greece, Sifakis started playing football at the age of 9. His first team was Atsalenios Herakliou (P.O.A.).
In 1999 Sifakis was transferred to OFI Crete where he played with the B squad of OFI until 2002. In 2002, he signed his first professional contract with the club. He played for OFI until 2007 and participated in 112 matches in the Greek championship and cup.
In 2007 the team Olympiacos made an offer for Sifakis, which was accepted by OFI, and he played as a replacement of the national goalkeeper Antonis Nikopolidis. During the season 2007–2008 his team won the Greek championship, the Greek Cup and the Greek Super Cup. And then he continued to be the replacement.
In 2008 Aris made an offer to OFI and Sifakis was transferred to the club. During the season 2008–2009 Sifakis participated in 27 league and cup matches. He participated in all league games of the 2009–2010 season. In the season 2009–2010 he participated with Aris in the final of Greek Cup, losing against Panathinaikos by 1–0. His reaction in the goal, a long distance shot by Leto, was very slow and his performance is questionable. In the season 2010–2011 he passed the group stage of the Europa League with Aris and were then eliminated by Manchester City of Roberto Mancini, at Round of 32 of the competition. In the following season (2011–2012) he had some medical problems that kept him away from some Aris and national squad's matches. In April 2013 Sifakis demands through his lawyers 988.000 euros from the almost bunkrupt Aris, although his unpaid wages are 188.000.
