Career

edit

Anastasakos started his football career from AO Dafniou having previously played in Pangythiakos and Leonidas Glykovrysis. In the summer of 1995, he was transferred to AEK Athens. He stayed at the club until January 2002, playing in just 1 league match, while he was loaned to Aris Petroupolis, Apollon Athens and Kalamata. After AEK signed for Athinaikos until the end of the season and then he returned to Apollon Athens playing for 2 seasons. He spent 2 seasons as well at Asteras Tripolis and afterwards signed for Thrasivoulos, where he emerged as the top scorer of the second division in 2008 with 18 goals.[1] His good appearances with the club of Fyli earned him a transfer to PAOK, where he played for a year, before moving to Atromitos, where he spent 3 seasons and played twice in the Cup final. In 2012 he moved to Crete to play for Platanias for a season and then he was transferred to Ergotelis. In the summer of 2014, he had a short spell at AEL and in January 2015, he was signed to Sparta, where he played 2 years. In 2017 he joined AE Pellanias for two seasons, initially as a player-coach and then solely as a coach. He returned as a footballer in 2019 to play for Aris Skalas until 2020.[2] He then moved to Iraklis Karyas, where he played for two seasons.[3] In February 2022 he was announced by Olympiacos Assou.[4]
