Odisseas Vlachodimos (Greek: Οδυσσέας Βλαχοδήμος; born 26 April 1994) is a professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club Benfica and the Greece national team as a goalkeeper.
Born in Stuttgart to Greek parents, he started his career with Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart in 2012, with whom he made three senior appearances in the 2015–16 season, before joining Panathinaikos of Superleague Greece, where he played two seasons.
Vlachodimos represented Germany at various youth levels and featured for the nation at UEFA European Under-17 Championship and FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2011. Moreover, he was part of the squad that won the 2017 European Under-21 Championship. In 2018, he switched nationality to represent Greece at senior level.
Vlachodimos is an academy graduate of VfB Stuttgart, having joined the club from VfL Wangen at the age of seven. Having progressed through the clubs' youth ranks, he then made his debut for VfB Stuttgart II on 25 February 2012 in a 1–0 loss to 1. FC Heidenheim in 3. Liga. At the end of the season he signed his first professional contract with the club, penning a deal until June 2015. Two years later, he extended his contract with VfB until June 2017. Having made over 50 appearances for VfB Stuttgart II, Vlachodimos was afforded his Bundesliga debut against Eintracht Frankfurt on 29 August 2015. With back-up 'keeper Mitchell Langerak out injured, Vlachodimos was included in Stuttgart's match day squad and was brought on as a substitute following the sending off of first-choice goalkeeper Przemysław Tytoń. He made three appearances in total for the senior side but by the end of 2015 had fallen out of favour of new club manager, and former VfB Stuttgart II coach, Jürgen Kramny. Vlachodimos voiced his disapproval of the situation in an interview with German new publication Kicker in December and the following month joined Greek Super League side Panathinaikos where he was reunited with his brother, Panagiotis, who had joined the club earlier in the month.
