Pantelis Kapetanos (Template:Lang-el; born 8 June 1983 in Ptolemaida) is a Greek footballer currently playing for Greek club Skoda Xanthi. He plays as a striker and is known for his last minute goals and for the tendency to score them with his head, which he celebrates by covering his forehead with his forearm.[2]

Club career

Kapetanos started his career in his native Greece, playing for Kozani, Iraklis and AEK Athens, with whom he competed in the UEFA Champions' League.

Steaua București

In July 2008 he joined Steaua București on a free transfer, signing a one-year contract.[3] In his first season at Steaua, Kapetanos was the club's top scorer with Bogdan Stancu, scoring 11 goals. The Steaua board extended his contract for two years, and he finished the 2009–10 season as the club's leading scorer in Liga I, with 15 goals, and in all competitions, with 19 goals.

In January 2011 his contract with Steaua was terminated, as the team did not want to pay his high salary.

CFR Cluj

Although Steaua allowed Kapetanos to leave on a free transfer, they did not want to allow him to sign for another Liga I team. He joined CFR Cluj in January 2011, signing a three years and a half contract.[4]

Due to the fact that he previously had to undergo surgery to fix a meniscus tear, we was sidelined for his first months at CFR Cluj.[5] Kapetanos had a much better 2011–12 season, scoring 12 goals to help CFR Cluj claim their third title in five years.[6][7]

On 14 July 2012, Kapetanos scored a late goal in extra time to help his team reach the Penalty shoot-out against Dinamo București in the 2012 Romanian Supercup. CFR Cluj lost at the penalty kicks and the throphy went to Dinamo.[8]

Second spell at Steaua

On 3 September 2013, Steaua București announced that they have reached agreement with CFR Cluj for the transfer of Pantelis Kapetanos.[9]

Skoda Xanthi

On 11 July 2014, after six years, Kapetanos returned to Greece by joining Skoda Xanthi on a two-year contract,[10] as a free agent.

Kapetanos as a reserved for the Greek Cup final, pulled one goal back for Skoda Xanthi in the 87th minute from close range.[11]

International career

Kapetanos was called up by Greece for the first time ahead of its international friendly against Senegal.[12] He was included in the squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and made his World Cup debut in a group stage match against South Korea.[13]
