Stavros Giafaloglou (Greek: Σταύρος Γιαφάλογλου; 15 October 1938 – 7 July 2016) was a Greek footballer who played as a midfielder and a later manager.
Club career
Giafaloglou started playing football at Akratitos Petralona at the age of 14. In the summer of 1956 he was acquired by AEK, without the permision of Akratitos and was punished with a 2-year ban. In order not to remain competitive during the period of forced abstention from AEK, together with friends from his neighborhood, he created the independent club A.E. Perikleous, where he played until 1957, when a compromise was reached between Akratitos and AEK and thus his transfer was completed. He played in AEK for 2 years and in the summer of 1959 he was transferred to Egaleo, as part of the exchange for the transfer of Giannis Marditsis.
He played at Egaleo until the end of 1963 and was crowned champion of the Beta Ethniki in 1961, making 62 appearances and 10 goals in the Alpha Ethniki. In the middle of the 1963–64 season, Giafaloglou left Egaleo and took over as player-coach at his neighborhood team, A.O. Petralona. He took them from the 2nd local division and within 4 years brought them to the brink of playing in the Beta Ethniki, winning 3 consecutive promotions and a AFCA championship. He continued to play until the 1969, where he retired as a player and remained only as a coach.
Managerial career
Giafaloglou's spell an A.O. Petralona continued with another AFCA championship title in 1970, but did not manage to advance to the Beta Ethniki. He eventually got the promotion to the Beta Ethniki in 1972, through the play-offs. He kept his team in 1972–73 in the Beta Ethniki, but in 1974 Petralona finished 18th and were relegated to the local competition. In 1978, Giafaloglou won his 4th championship in the AFCA championship and promoted A.O. Petralona to the National Amateur Championship. This was followed by winning 2nd place in Group B and returning to the Beta Ethniki in 1979. He remained with the team in 1979–80, which performed satisfactorily playing at the Fostiras stadium, where they even scored some surprising victories and then Giafaloglou took over Agios Ierotheos, which he promoted to the National Amateur League in 1981, leading them to the National Amateur League. In 1981 worked at Doxa Vyronas for a season, which he also promoted to the National Amateur League. Then he returned at Petralona for another year, where he again won the title of one of the three groups of AFCA championship, but failed to advance to the play-offs with the two other champions. After a year at Athinais Kypseli he returned at Agios Ierotheos for a brief stint in 1984. From 1984 to 1990 he was again the head coach of A.O. Petralona.
