Yannis Anastasiou (born 5 March 1973) is a Greek football manager and former footballer. He is currently the manager of Roda JC.
As a player, Anastasiou played as a striker, and was active professionally in Greece, Belgium and the Netherlands. He also represented the Greece national team at senior international level.
Born in Arta, Anastasiou played professionally in Greece, Belgium and the Netherlands for PAS Preveza, Ethnikos Piraeus, OFI Crete, Anderlecht, Roda JC, Ajax, Sparta Rotterdam and Omniworld.
He also earned five caps for the Greece national team between 1998 and 1999.
After his retirement from football in 2008, Anastasiou joined Panathinaikos as an assistant to manager Henk ten Cate. In 2011 he left Greece for the Netherlands as assistant coach for Jong Ajax, the reserve team of Ajax. After two years, Anastasiou joined English club Reading in January 2013 as a first team coach; he had first met their manager Brian McDermott in June 2012 while completing his UEFA Pro License. His stay at Reading lasted just two months, and he left the club following the departure of McDermott on 11 March 2013.
Anastasiou was named manager of Panathinaikos in May 2013. In his first year, the team won the Greek Football Cup with a 4–1 victory against PAOK in the final. During that year, he also led the team in a 3–0 victory against Olympiacos, a record away victory in the derby. In the Superleague Greece, the team finished fourth in the regular season and first in the play-offs, qualifying for next year's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. In February 2015, he was named Manager of the Year for 2014.
