Manolis Papasterianos (Greek: Μανώλης Παπαστεριανός; born 15 August 1987) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Football League club Triglia.

Club career

Papasterianos started his career in the team of his hometown M.G.C Akanthos Ierissos at a young age. His impressive performances caught the eye of Iraklis' scouts and he joined Iraklis' youth squad in the summer of 2005.

Iraklis

Papasterianos got promoted in the Iraklis' professional squad for the 2006-2007 season. He debuted for the club in a 3–0 loss against AEK, coming in as a substitute in the 63rd minute. Two minutes after his entrance in the match, he got the first yellow card in his professional career. Papasterianos also made his European debut in that season. It was in the 0–1 away win against Wisła Kraków for the first leg of the 2006–07 UEFA Cup, as he came in, as a substitute. In the second half of the season Papasterianos made 13 appearances for the club, 10 of them as a starter. In the 2008-2009 season Papasterianos established himself as a starter in Iraklis. He made 26 appearances, 15 as a starter, and scored 2 goals. His first goal was scored in an away match against Panathinaikos, helping Iraklis to grab a 2–2 away draw. His second goal was a bicycle kick scored against Ergotelis, to help the team secure a 0–1 away win. That goal was voted as Best Goal of the 2008-2009 season, in the official competition organised by the Superleague. It was as well voted as Best Goal of the 21st matchday of the 2008-2009 Superleague season. In the 2009-2010 season he was almost an automatic first team choice, appearing in 22 of the first 23 matches of the club, 15 of them as a starter. But due to an injury in the abdominal muscles area he had to undergo surgery in Germany. As a result, he was forced to stay out for the remainder of the season. In the 2010-2011 season he once again scored a goal that was voted as Best Goal of the matchday. It was a screamer from well outside the area, scored in a 2–0 victory of Iraklis against AEK, for the 15th matchday of the 2010-2011 Superleague season. The prize was handed to him by former Iraklis striker Fanis Tountziaris.

Aris

In 2011 summer, Papasterianos joined Aris Thessaloniki F.C., getting the number 5. He has made 9 league appearances in the first season making his debut with the club on 27 August 2011 in an away draw against PAS Giannena, but his performances weren't so good. Nevertheless, he succeeded to become an important member of the club and especially in the season 2012/13 was on the key players that helped Aris to avoid relegation. At the end of the season he didn't manage to reach an agreement with the new President of Aris and in the summer of 2013 he signed a 1-year contract with the Romanian club Concordia Chiajna.

CS Concordia Chiajna

Papasterianos' adaptation to a new environment for the first time in his career was not easy. He debuted with the club on 30 September 2013 in a lost away game against Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ.
