Pavlos Dimitriou (; born 24 March 1957) is a Greek football manager and former player who played as a midfielder.
Playing career Dimitriou started at the age of 12 as a left back from the academies of Panserraikos and in 1975 he was promoted to the first team. A year later he became already the captain of the team, while his virtues with the ball at his feet "forced" the managers of the club to place him as a midfielder. Dimitriou presented a stable performance, serving the "Lions" for 16 consecutive seasons.
On 16 December 1985 he made the big step of his career and was transferred to AEK Athens for a fee of 11 million drachmas. Dimitriou, away from his environment, found it difficult to adapt, while AEK were also in a strange situation, a fact that was exacerbated by the Chrysovitsianos case against his former club.
On 15 July 1987 he was transferred back to Panserraikos for a fee of 3 million drachmas. Two years later and due to an injury that left him out of action for 4 months, he moved to Nigrita where he ended his career in 1990.
Managerial career Almost immediately after retiring as a footballer, Dimitriou became a coach with important terms in Panserraikos both in the infrastructure departments and in the first team.
