Dimitrios Chatziisaias (; born 21 September 1992) is a Greek professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Persian Gulf Pro League club Esteghlal Khuzestan.
In June 2014 Panionios and AO Chania came to an agreement for the movement of Chatziisaias to the club based in Athens.
On 29 January 2016, PAOK confirmed that Chatziisaias would join the club on 1 February 2016 from Panionios for a club record transfer fee of â¬1 million, after agreeing terms and signing a -year contract. He was presented to the media as a PAOK player on 1 February, where he was handed the number 5 shirt. Chatziisaias made his PAOK debut on 7 February, in a 1âÂÂ0 away loss against champions Olympiacos. His first goal came a month later with a kick after an assist of Dimitrios Pelkas in PAOK's 2âÂÂ1 away loss against Panthrakikos. On 19 August 2016, PAOK officially announced that the international defender is not in club's plans for the 2016âÂÂ17 season. On 20 December 2016, Chatziisaias returned to the first team of PAOK immediately, in order to replace experienced international Georgios Tzavellas. Then, there were only stoppers Stelios Malezas, José ÃÂngel Crespo and Fernando Varela in the current squad of the club, so his return was necessary ahead of the upcoming difficult matches in January.
On 26 June 2017, he signed a long season contract with Atromitos on loan from PAOK. On 30 June 2018, Greek central defender Chatziisaias will finally still be a member of ambitious Atromitos, on loan from PAOK until the end of 2018âÂÂ19 season. The 26-year-old scored one goal (at 1âÂÂ0 away victory over Asteras Tripolis in February) at 32 performances in the domestic competitions with the shirt of Austrian manager Damir Canadi's team during 2017âÂÂ18 season.
On 23 July 2019, ÃÂaykur Rizespor announced the signing of Chatziisaias with a transfer fee in the region of â¬500,000, after the acquisition of Enea Mihaj from Panetolikos. PAOK would keep a resale rate of 20% and would also receive extra bonuses if Rizespor secures a European ticket for the upcoming season. Chatziisaias signed a three-year contract with a contract fee of â¬1,95 million.
On 16 January 2020, Cercle Brugge and ÃÂaykur Rizespor reached an agreement regarding the temporary transfer of Chatziisaias. Being on loan until the end of this season, there is a purchase option at the end.
On 2 July 2021, his return to Atromitos was announced, having signed a two-year contract.
