'''Lampros Choutos''' ''(sometimes spelled '''LabrosLambros''')'';<ref>{{ESPN '''Choutos'''FC|26398}}</ref> (born [[7 December 7]], [[1979]] in [[Athens]], [[Greece]]) is a [[Greece|Greek]] former professional [[Association football (soccer)|footballfootballer]] player.who Heplayed playsas [[striker]] fora [[RegginaForward Calcio]],(association on loan from [[Internazionale Milano F.C.football)#Striker|Inter Milanstriker]]. He is tall 177 cm, and weighs about 75 kg.

During his career, he played equal periods of time in his country and Italy.

He started his career playing for [[AS Roma]] at the age of 16, but he has been often injured and so he never shown all of his potential talent that he had already done in the youth teams {[primavera]]. Lampros is a pure product of the [[Panathinaikos]] youth soccer academy supervised by Greek-Argentinian [[Juan Rocha]]. Even though, his first proffesional club in Greece was archrival [[Olympiakos]] who loaned him from Roma after some great games with the Greek U-21 national team. In Olympiakos, under the direction of Italian coach Bigón he made easily his way in the first team where he formed a great tandem with [[Zlatko Zahovic]] and Brazilian star [[Giovanni]], even relegating Greek goal scorer[[Alekkos Alexandris]] to the bench. Although he gotseverely injoured, following his [karma]] he managed to score many decissive goals which made him one of the most loved ones. He won both [[2000]] and [[2001]] titles with the Red and Whites before returning the following year to Italy, notably to [[Inter Milan]] where he could not settle down and was constantly loaned to other minor teams.

===Early years===

Born in [[Athens]], Choutos started his career with Asteras Polygonou, being discovered by scouts of [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos FC]]. After only two years, he moved to Italy to finish his football grooming with [[AS Roma]].

{{Greece-footybio-stub}}

Choutos' first stop as a senior was back in his country, loaned by Roma to [[Olympiacos F.C.]] after stellar performances during [[2000 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification|the qualifying stages]] for the [[2000 UEFA European Under-21 Championship]], as he netted 15 goals in only ten matches. He gradually made his way into the first team under the direction of [[Alberto Bigon]], forming a productive attacking trio with [[Slovenia]]'s [[Zlatko Zahovič]] and [[Giovanni Silva de Oliveira|Giovanni]] from Brazil.

Although he suffered from an injured knee, Choutos managed to score decisive goals. He helped the [[Piraeus]] club win the [[1999–2000 Alpha Ethniki|2000]], [[2000–01 Alpha Ethniki|2001]] and [[2002–03 Alpha Ethniki|2003]] [[Super League Greece|Superleague]] championships before returning to Italy, with [[Inter Milan]].

Choutos signed a three-year contract with Inter in summer 2004, but could never settle there, being constantly loaned to other minor sides in both the country and abroad (Spain's [[RCD Mallorca]], where he quickly fell out of favour with manager [[Héctor Cúper]]).<ref>{{cite news|url=http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2005/10/19/mas_futbol/1129703209_850215.html|title=Cúper: "Choutos no está para los noventa minutos"|trans-title=Cúper: "Choutos cannot take on ninety minutes"|newspaper=[[Diario AS]]|language=Spanish|date=19 October 2005|accessdate=28 October 2015}}</ref> He made his competitive debut for the ''Nerazzurri'' on 9 November 2006, coming on as a 78th-minute [[Substitute (association football)|substitute]] for [[Mariano González]] in a [[Coppa Italia]] clash against [[A.C.R. Messina|F.C. Messina Peloro]], which [[2006–07 Coppa Italia|took place]] more than two years after his arrival;<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.corriere.it/Primo_Piano/Sport/2006/11_Novembre/09/coppaitalia.html|title=Coppa Italia: l'Inter vince a Messina 1–0|trans-title=Italian Cup: Inter win in Messina 1–0|newspaper=[[Corriere della Sera]]|language=Italian|date=9 November 2006|accessdate=28 October 2015}}</ref> he left at the end of [[2006–07 Serie A|the campaign]].

Choutos returned to his country in the 2007 off-season after signing with [[Panionios F.C.|Panionios FC]], but was only eligible to start playing in the following January. He again began experiencing first-team football, and notably scored two of three at [[Athens Olympic Sports Complex]] to help defeat hosts [[AEK Athens F.C.]] and collect the ''[[Man of the match]]'' award; he finished his half [[2006–07 Superleague Greece|season]] with 12 goals, as his team finished in sixth position and participated in the second stage.

Choutos started [[2007–08 Superleague Greece|his second year]] in scoring fashion, netting twice against [[OFK Beograd]] in the [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]] ([[2008 UEFA Intertoto Cup|3–1 home win, 3–2 on aggregate]]). After a run-in with the club's assistant coach that supposedly turned physical, however, the player was forced to leave.

On 2 February 2009, Choutos signed a six-month contract with [[PAOK FC]], appearing in eight scoreless matches. On 25 August he returned to Italy once again, joining lowly [[A.S. Pescina Valle del Giovenco]] for two years;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.valledelgiovenco.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=265&Itemid=55|title=Arriva il ''bomber'' Lambros Choutos, ex Roma ed Inter|trans-title=Bomber Lambros Choutos, formerly of Roma and Inter, arrives|publisher=A.S.

==International career==

Courtesy of his solid [[Greece national under-21 football team|under-21]] performances, Choutos soon made his debut for the [[Greece national football team|Greek full side]], going on to win ten [[Cap (sport)|caps]] in four years. He was overlooked for the squads that appeared at both [[UEFA Euro 2004]] and [[UEFA Euro 2008|2008]].

==Personal life==

Choutos origin is from the village Agioi Thedoroi, [[Trikala (regional unit)|Trikala]].<ref>[https://www.larissanet.gr/2017/03/18/to-spiti-tou-lamprou-choutou-sta-trikala/ Το σπίτι του Λάμπρου Χούτου στα Τρίκαλα larissanet.gr]</ref>
