Konstantinou returns home with AC Omonia

The carousel has come full circle for Michalis Konstantinou, who earlier this week left Thessaloniki-based club Iraklis FC for a move back to native land Cyprus with capital club AC Omonia. Joining Iraklis in the summer after Olympiacos CFP released the Cyprus international, his time in Greece concluded – at least for the time being – with a rather unsuccessful half season in Thessaloniki.

Starting his career in Cyprus with Paralimni FC, his first taste of Greek football came when he joined Iraklis in 1997. Spending the next four years with ‘O Gireos’, Konstantinou’s next destination was Athens where Panathinaikos employed the Cypriot striker for the next four years.

The moving onto hated rivals Olympiacos, the Cypriot enjoyed a short stay with the Greek Champions lasting three years. Still able to win title with the Piraeus club, when Konstantinou moved to the Giorgos Karaiskakis Stadium he was hailed as an ideal striking partner for compatriot Ioannis Okkas – whom also played for the Erythrolefki at that time.

Then being released by Olympiacos after several injuries and poor performances, Konstantinou found himself back to where he started in Greece. Although the surroundings were familiar for one of Cyprus’ most reputable strikers, the return back to Thessaloniki featured a changed Konstantinou.

Now returning home, the 30-year-old joins one of Cyprus’ most powerful clubs but has yet to play at the top order of Cypriot football thus far. He is expected to be a valuable part of Omonia’s push to recapture the Cypriot title at season’s end.
