Angelos Digozis (Greek: Άγγελος Διγκόζης; born 19 March 1974) is a retired Greek footballer and currently a manager, who played mainly as a defensive midfielder. Throughout his career, he played a total of 435 matches in all divisions. He holds a unique record in Greek football, having played in the first division with eight different clubs (Veria, Kavala, OFI Crete, Aris, Ionikos, AEL, Skoda Xanthi and Panserraikos).
Football career
Born in Pella, Digozis started his professional career with Apollon Kalamarias F.C. in 1994, going on to play for two more teams in the following five years, until reaching the top division with OFI Crete.
He helped OFI finish fourth in his first season, with the subsequent UEFA Cup qualification. In 2002, he moved to Cyprus, representing Olympiakos Nicosia for a brief period of time.
In the 2003 January transfer window, Digozis returned to his country with Aris Thessaloniki, being an essential midfield element as his club barely avoided top flight relegation in his first full season. He played for four clubs in the following five years, notably helping AEL F.C. win the 2007 domestic cup, defeating Panathinaikos F.C. at the Panthessaliko Stadium, for the second win in the tournament in the team's history.
In 2009, after suffering relegation from the top division with Panserraikos FC, 35-year-old Digozis resumed his career in the lower leagues.
