Lampros Choutos
Lampros Choutos (sometimes Lambros; born 7 December 1979) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as a striker.
During his career, he played equal periods of time in his country and Italy.
Born in Athens, Choutos started his career with Asteras Polygonou, being discovered by scouts of Panathinaikos. After only two years, he moved to Italy to finish his football grooming with AS Roma.
Choutos' first stop as a senior was back in his country, loaned by Roma to Olympiacos after stellar performances during the qualifying stages for the 2000 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, as he netted 15 goals in only ten matches. He gradually made his way into the first team under the direction of Alberto Bigon, forming a productive attacking trio with Slovenia's Zlatko Zahovič and Giovanni from Brazil.
Although he suffered from an injured knee, Choutos managed to score decisive goals. He helped the Piraeus club win the 2000, 2001 and 2003 Super League championships before returning to Italy, with Inter Milan.
Choutos signed a three-year contract with Inter in summer 2004, but could never settle there, being constantly loaned to other minor sides in both the country and abroad (Spain's RCD Mallorca, where he quickly fell out of favour with manager Héctor Cúper). He made his competitive debut for the Nerazzurri on 9 November 2006, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Mariano González in a Coppa Italia clash against F.C. Messina Peloro, which took place more than two years after his arrival; he left at the end of the campaign.
Choutos returned to his country in the 2007 off-season after signing with Panionios, but was only eligible to start playing in the following January. He again began experiencing first-team football, and notably scored two of three at Athens Olympic Sports Complex to help defeat hosts AEK Athens and collect the Man of the match award; he finished his half season with 12 goals, as his team finished in sixth position and participated in the second stage.
Choutos started his second year in scoring fashion, netting twice against OFK Beograd in the UEFA Intertoto Cup (3–1 home win, 3–2 on aggregate). After a run-in with the club's assistant coach that supposedly turned physical, however, the player was forced to leave.
