Club Career

Ergotelis

Born in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil, Koutris started his career from a local amateur team from Rhodes, Niki Rodos, where he was spotted by Super League club Ergotelis scouts in 2011. On 28 January 2013, he signed his first professional contract with the club and made his debut as a substitute in a match against Greek champions Olympiacos on 1 December 2013. Already an international with the Greek U19 and U21 squads, and considered one of the greatest talents at Ergotelis, he renewed his contract with the club on 5 June 2014.

After Ergotelis' relegation to the Football League in the summer of 2015, and despite reported interest from Greek club Panathinaikos, Koutris was one of the 17 players to hold out as part of the club's roster until the very end, which came in January 2016, when Ergotelis officially withdrew from professional competitions, and released all players from their contracts.

PAS Giannina

As a free agent, Koutris signed a three-year contract with Greek Super League club PAS Giannina on 26 January 2016. He scored his first goal for the club on 21 July 2016, during his European debut, netting an extra time away goal against Norwegian club Odd during the third qualifying round of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League. This goal helped his club advance to the next round for the first time in its history, after winning the two-legged tie 4–3 on aggregate.

On 28 April 2017, he signed contract with champions Olympiacos and his team will earn an estimated amount of €600,000.

Olympiacos

On 25 July 2017, Koutris made his debut with the club in a 3–1 away win UEFA game against Partizan. He played all the international games of the club, helping Olympiacos to reach UEFA Champions
