After he retired from playing professional basketball, Limniatis became a basketball coach. On February 22, 2023, Limniatis received his first professional head coaching position with Lavrio, replacing Christos Serelis for the rest of the season. Despite helping the club avoid relegation and having renewed his contract earlier in the year for the upcoming season, Limniatis unexpectedly parted ways with Lavrio on July 14, 2023.
