He concluded his career in Panathinaikos in the middle 90's .
He was a charismatic player who had the ability to play in the bigger clubs of Europe. In early 90s Juventus wanted him, but G. Vardinogianni's Panathinaikos rejected the transfer. So, he had lost his opportunity. Saravakos won several championships and cups in Greece with Panathinaikos and AEK Athens FC. He also played in the 1994 FIFA World Cup with the Greek national team.
