Manos served as the Assistant Coach of Olympiakos BC[4] (working with the world basketball coach and basket player Panagiotis Giannakis), where he was responsible for planning and running daily training sessions and headed the scouting team.[5] During his tenure, Olympiakos reached the EuroLeauge Final once and won the 2010 Greek Cup.[6]

Manouselis is renowned in Greek professional basketball circles for his ability to turn teams around to qualify for the next higher division (or level) of competition within the league, as is underscored by being honoured as an 11-Time League Coach of the Year Award winner.[11]

In March 2017 he joined one of the largest sports organizations in the Middle East, Qatar's AL SADD,[12] he currently serves as the Head Coach of the Basketball Team[13] and remains member of the Greek NBT's Coaching Staff.
