Kostas Christodoulou

Kostas Christodoulou (Κώστας Χριστοδούλου; 1 January 1915 – ?) was a Greek footballer who played as a forward and a later manager.

Christodoulou started the football at PAO Dafni Athens where he competed at the left wing of the offense.

In the summer of 1930 and at a very young age, he moved to Panathinaikos without the consent of his club, a very common event at the time and was punished with a one year ban from every official competition, according to the regulations at the time.

He won the Athens FCA league of 1934 with the "greens".

Christodoulou played for Greece, where he made his debut on 4 February 1934 in the 1–0 friendly win against Bulgaria at the Leoforos Alexandras Stadium, where he replaced Leonidas Andrianopoulos in the 55th minute.

In 1936 he joined the city rivals, AEK Athens, where he played for 9 years winning 2 consecutive Panhellenic Championships, 1 Cup and 2 Athens FCA Championships, including the first domestic double in by a Greek club in 1939.

He was limited to 5 international appearances, four with Panathinaikos and one with AEK, due to World War II, as he took part in Greece's last pre-war meeting on 25 March 1938, where they achieved their greatest defeat by 11–1 against Hungary in Budapest.

After retiring as a football player, Christodoulou coached various teams such as Proodeftiki among others.

His younger brother, Christos was also a footballer, also on the left wing of the midfield of Panathinaikos.
