Nikos Karageorgiou (Greek: Νίκος Καραγεωργίου; born 8 December 1962 in Eratino, Kavala) is a retired Greek football player and current football manager.
Karageorgiou began his football career at his local village football club Aetos Eratino, before he was transferred to the region's prestigious club Kavala in 1981. He played for his hometown club for 5 years, and was subsequently transferred to PAOK in 1986, where he played for an additional 5 seasons. In 1991, Karageorgiou moved to Panathinaikos, where he won the Greek Cup in 1993, during his last season with the club. He then moved to Skoda Xanthi, where he spent the majority of his career staying at the club until 2000, when he decided to end his playing career and subsequently took over as manager of the club.
Karageorgiou also played 16 international matches with the Greek national football team during 1989–1992.
Karageorgiou began his coaching career in Skoda Xanthi during the 1999−2000 season, when he took over as manager of the club replacing Vangelis Vlachos after Matchday 25, while he was still a regular player. During the 2001−02 season, after the resignation of Agentinian manager Juan Ramon Rocha, Karageorgiou, who was initially hired as general manager, was once again appointed head coach of the club, managing to lead Skoda Xanthi to its first ever European campaign, after finishing in 5th place. His tenure with Skoda Xanthi was eventually terminated in the summer of 2004, when he was replaced as head coach of the club by Giannis Matzourakis. In February 2005, he was appointed head coach of PAOK, but his contract was terminated a few months later, in September 2005.
