Dimitrios "Dimitris" Diamantakos (Greek: Δημήτρης Διαμαντάκος, born 5 March 1993 in Piraeus) is a Greek footballer who currently plays for 2. Bundesliga club Karlsruhe as a forward. He is often referred to as "the Spartan".
Diamantakos started his career at Atromitos Piraeus, from which he moved to the youth teams of Olympiacos in 2009.
In 2012, he moved to Superleague side Panionios on loan. In January 2013 he joined Aris FC on loan. He made 13 appearances without scoring any goal. In June 2013 he joined Ergotelis on loan. He did his best season so far by scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances in the league and in the cup.
Following his loan spell at Ergotelis, Olympiacos decided to keep him for the 2014–2015 season. Diamantakos made his debut on 23 August 2014 with Olympiacos in the Superleague on a home game against Niki Volos and managed to score his first goal in the 28th minute with a close range strike. In February 2015, according to Russian reports, Arsenal Tula was close to signing Dimitris Diamantakos. With the Russian transfer window still open the striker reportedly was in the club's shortlist.
Overall, he had little playing time in his first season with Olympiacos, having to settle for a role mainly on the bench. He scored 4 goals in 17 appearances across all competitions helping his club on its route to winning the Greek Cup.
In August 2015, Diamantakos joined Karlsruhe for the season, again on loan. On 6 November 2015, in his fourth appearance he scored his first goal for the club scoring in a 3-0 home win against VfL Bochum. On 12 December 2015, he scored his third goal in the league, helping his club return to winning ways against SpVgg Greuther Fürth. On 18 December 2015, Diamantakos scored for the third time in a row, sealing Karlsruhe's win away to FC St. Pauli.
