Odisseas Vlachodimos (Greek: Οδυσσέας Βλαχοδήμος, born 26 April 1994) is a Greek-German footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Panathinaikos. He is the younger brother of Panagiotis Vlachodimos, who plays for Panathinaikos too.
Career
Club career
Vlachodimos made his debut for VfB Stuttgart II on 25 February 2012 in the 3. Liga against 1. FC Heidenheim.[1] On 22 June 2012, he signed a contract with VfB Stuttgart until June 2015.[2] In April 2014 Vlachodimos extended his contract with VfB until June 2017.[3] He made his Bundesliga debut on 29 August 2015 against Eintracht Frankfurt.
On 26 January 2016, he moved to Panathinaikos,[4] until the summer of 2019. The financial details of the contract are remain undisclosed and VfB Stuttgart will keep a 30% sell-on clause.[5] On 3 April 2016, he made his debut with the club in a 3-2 home win against Veria for the Greek Super League.[6] On 27 November 2016, he replaced his teammate and regular goalie of the club Luke Steele after some sloppy performances of the English goalkeeper so far into the season, in an away 1-1 draw against Panionios. The young Greek goalkeeper impressed Andrea Stramaccioni and the Panathinaikos manager is likely to start him in the home game against PAOK. [7]
International career
Vlachodimos was Germany's first choice goalkeeper at the 2011 European U-17 Championship and the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
