Stavros Tziortziopoulos (Greek: Σταύρος Τζιωρτζιόπουλος; born 15 August 1978) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as a defender. He is the current manager of AEK Athens U12 team.
Career
Born in Athens, Tziortziopoulos started his career at third division side Keratsini in 1997 and his performances caught the eye of Olympiacos, who signed him in the summer of 1998. Six months later he went on loan to Iraklis, where he played until January 2000, when he returned to Olympiacos to make his debut. The defender, a former Greek U21 international, played ten times as they won the league, but only made four more appearances in the following two triumphs.
In July 2002, he joined Akratitos and the following summer he signed for Panionios. There, his career took off and after a fine season he joined AEK Athens in the summer of 2004. When signing in AEK, Tziortziopoulos was considered one of the best left-footed backs in Greece. After a few games with the team it was thought that he would be called to play for Greece. Unfortunately, he was injured in December 2004 and returned more than a year later. Since then, he has had his ups and downs, unable to stabilise his appearances with the team. On 12 November 2006, he scored for the first time for AEK Athens against AEL.
On 7 June 2007, Tziortziopoulos was released by AEK Athens and immediately signed with the Cypriot side Omonia.
