Pantelis Konstantinidis (Greek: Παντελής Κωνσταντινίδης; born 16 August 1975) is a Greek former footballer. He was born in Florina. Konstantinidis played as a left winger for most of his career, earning the nickname Svouras (spinning top) for his quick dribbling in his youth. During 2010 Konstantinidis took the position of the Technical Director to PAOK, succeeding Zisis Vryzas. He could also play as a defender.[1]

Career

[edit]

He has played for many clubs in Greece, starting his career with AEK Athens in 1993, but did not make a single appearance. He was loaned to Kavala for two seasons. He was given at Apollon Athens as an exchange for the transfer of Demis Nikolaidis to AEK[2] and played there for two seasons.

He signed with PAOK in 1998 and stayed there for four years. He topped his game and made himself steady in the starting eleven as a left winger, where the fans loved him. Due to the club's financial problems he was sold to Panathinaikos where he stayed for three years, making over 60 appearances before returning to PAOK in 2005. In his career, he made 175 league appearances with PAOK, scoring 25 goals. He also captained PAOK during his second stay in Thessaloniki.

In the summer of 2009, Konstantinidis fell out of favor in coach Fernando Santos' plans, and so signed with OFI, continuing his career for the Cretan side in Beta Ethniki. After the season's end, in which OFI narrowly failed to achieve promotion to the first division, Konstantinidis decided to retire, aged 35.
