In July 2014, Taousianis was hired by Cretan Super League club Ergotelis as assistant manager to newly appointed head coach Juan Ferrando.
[13] Despite achieving important wins over Platanias and OFI and giving Ergotelis a fighting chance to avoid relegation, Taousianis was surprisingly sacked by the club in favour of more experienced manager Ioannis Matzourakis.
[14] However, Matzourakis resigned after just 13 days, after failing to win two crucial home matches and thus deeming his task to avoid relegation impossible.
Taousianis left an uncertain Ergotelis in the summer of 2015 to assume the head coach position at Gamma Ethniki club Aiolikos,[16] but was sacked in February 2016.
[19] In February 2017, Taousianis was hired by Epirus-based Superleague club PAS Giannina as assistant to head coach Giannis Petrakis.
