Source-derived summary

Pambos Christodoulou (born 17 October 1967, Galata) is a Cypriot football manager and former player.

Playing career

Christodoulou played as a midfielder for Olympiakos Nicosia in the Cyprus First Division, between 1990–1995, having moved from Doxa Katokopias, which then played in the second division of Cyprus. He subsequently went to AEK Larnaca in the first division, before deciding to become a manager at the age of 39 in the 2006 season for Doxa Katokopias.

Managerial career

Doxa Katokopias

In 2006, he took on his first managerial appointment with Doxa Katokopia FC then in the Cyprus Second Division. Doxa got promoted finishing 3rd in the last day of the season. In the next season, newly promoted Doxa would be favourite for relegation, however Pambos showed his cunning team building skills. He spent a lot of time in Portugal hunting for players with good technical skills, a good team spirit, with speed and on a low budget. He managed to find such players in the 2nd and 3rd levels in Portugal on a budget that Doxa could afford. The first player he signed was Angolan born Portuguese left back Rui Paulo Silva Júnior, who subsequently became a good friend and after retiring as a footballer would join him as Director of football at AEL Limassol. He used the player agent Costas Christodoulou (Karavidas) to help him bring the players to Cyprus and subsequently learned the tricks of the trade himself, in 2011 the Olympiakos Nicosia supporters club cast doubt on Christodoulou's scouting prowess by claiming that player agent Karavidas in fact finds and signs the players.
