Athanasios Georgios "Thanasis" Androutsos (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Αθανάσιος Γεώργιος "Θανάσης" Ανδρούτσος, born 6 May 1997) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a right back or a midfielder.[1]

Club career

On 18 August 2016, Androutsos made his debut with Olympiacos in a European match for UEFA Europa League playoffs against Portuguese club Arouca as a late substitute.[2] On 4 December 2016, he made his debut in the Super League Greece as a late substitute in a 4–0 home win against Levadiakos.[3] On 11 February 2017, he scored after 14 seconds, his first goal in the Super League Greece in a 2–0 home win against AEL.

On 30 August 2019, Androutsos signed a season-long deal with Atromitos on loan from Olympiacos.[4] On 6 October 2019, he scored his first goal with Atromitos in a 3–2 away win against Volos.[5]

Androutos returned to Olympiacos in the summer of 2020, after the season-loan to Atromitos, but from mid-July, he entered the squad on 21 November 2020. He played for less than 10 minutes in the 1-0 derby game against rivals Panathinaikos. Until then, from the management that had been done to him, it was clear that in coming transfer period, he would transfer to another club. Among those clubs, the Dutch club VVV-Venlo offered him a contract, but since then he has played in a total of 19 games over a period of four months and also secured a new contract, until the summer of 2023.[6]

International career

On 15 March 2017, Androutsos was first called up to the Greece national team by Michael Skibbe for Greece's crucial qualifier against Belgium.[7] On 15 May 2018, he made his debut in a 2–0 away loss in Seville against Saudi Arabia.[8] On 6 May 2021, he scored his first goal for Greece, giving a 2–0 lead in a friendly against Norway sealing a 2–1 away win.[9] [10]
