Minou began his career withAlmopos Aridea, signing forKastoria in 1980, and two years later, he moved toPanathinaikos, where he became known to the general public and was called to the national team.[2][3] At Panathinaikos, he won two league titles and three cups. However, the difficult competition for a first-team place withNikos Sarganis forced him to look for another team, and in the summer of 1988 he was transferred toAEK Athens.[2] In his first season with AEK, he was a second choice behindSpyros Ikonomopoulos, but from the following season he became a regular and then never lost his place again, until the end of his spell at AEK.[1] The decision by the club's management to release him in the summer of 1993 was said to be surprising, since he was the first-choice goalkeeper in his last two seasons in which the team won the league, while also playing in the national team.

He also competed with the Olympic team in 1983.[5]
