===Return to Atsalenios===
In July 2014, then 35-year-old Roubakis returned to his childhood club [[Atsalenios F.C.|Atsalenios]] after 12 years. By that point, Atsalenios was playing at the A1 League of the [[Heraklion Football Clubs Association|Heraklion FCA]] championships (4th-tier level of Greek football) and his motivation was to help the club return to national level, as well as end his football career there – Atsalenios were also hoping for Roubakis to mentor the club's younger footballers using his experience and personality.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.patris.gr/articles/265123?PHPSESSID=#.V-Ahqh-YFD8 | title=ΠΟΑ - Η μεγάλη επιστροφή για τον Μανόλη Ρουμπάκη | work=Patris | date=10 July 2014 | accessdate=19 September 2016 | trans_title=POA: The great return of Manolis Roubakis}}</ref>
