Panathinaikos Targets EuroLeague Throne, Obradović Gets New Reinforcement: Club Legend Returns!

The former captain and greatest playing legend of the club is returning to the Greek powerhouse in an executive role. After 14 years, he will once again work alongside Željko Obradović, with whom he built an empire at Panathinaikos.

Diamantidis previously served as Panathinaikos' general manager between 2020 and 2022, and now rejoins the organization in a significant executive capacity.

Widely recognized as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, player in club history, Diamantidis spent his entire career at Panathinaikos from 2004 to 2016.

During that period, he won three EuroLeague titles, earning MVP honors at the Final Fours in 2007 and 2011, while also securing nine league titles and ten domestic cups.

Just prior to the official announcement, club owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos welcomed him back via Instagram.

It's worth noting that earlier today, Isak Bonga officially joined Panathinaikos, making it clear that PAO is assembling a squad to challenge for a new EuroLeague title.
