Efthimiοs "Efthimis" Kotitsas (Ευθύμης Κοτίτσας, born 25 March 1986) is a Greek footballer, currently playing for Levadiakos in the Superleague Greece. He also played for Ionikos, Skoda Xanthi, and Olympiakos Volou on loan, as well as the Greek under-19 and under-21 national teams. He was a member of Greece's squad at the 2005 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship.

Early career and time at Ionikos
Kotitsas began his footballing career at the youth team of Olympiacos and started playing professionally in 2004 for Nikaia-based Ionikos in the Alpha Ethniki. He scored his first league goal for Ionikos at the opening match of the 2006–07 season against Ergotelis.

Since 12 March 2008 and until December of the same year, Kotitsas didn't appear in any Ionikos match, due to a fight between him and his manager, Giorgos Vazakas – this resulted in a lawsuit by Kotitsas for workplace bullying and a subsequent comtempt by the board of Ionikos for "unprofessional behaviour".

Skoda Xanthi and loan to Olympiakos Volou
In December 2008, Kotitsas terminated his contract with Ionikos and signed for Skoda Xanthi, but only played once on 27 April 2009, in a home game against Iraklis (4–1) due to a serious injury that left him on the sidelines. In May 2009, he moved to Olympiakos Volou on a season-long loan, where he managed to make 19 league appearances during the club's successful 2009–10 Beta Ethniki campaign, which saw them lift the trophy and win promotion to the Superleague.

Levadiakos
Kotitsas signed a three-year contract with Football League side Levadiakos. He made a total of 11 appearances in the 2010–11 Football League, 10 of which in the regular season and one in a promotion play-off match against Diagoras.

Greece under-19
Kotitsas has made a total of 8 appearances for the Greek national under-19 football team, making his debut at a 2005 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship qualification match against the Faroe Islands. He was considered a key player of Greece's defence during their successful qualifying campaign towards the 2005 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, making it into the 22-man squad for the finals, hosted in Northern Ireland.

He appeared in all three matches that Greece played in the 2005 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship finals – one at the starting eleven of the first match of the group stage against the hosts, Northern Ireland, which ended with a 1–0 victory for Greece, another full 90 minutes in Greece's second match of the tournament against Germany which resulted in a 3–0 loss, and yet another 90 minutes in the last game of the group stage against Serbia, which resulted in a consecutive 3–0 loss and subsequent elimination for Greece.

Greece under-21
Kotitsas played 4 times for the Greek national under-21 football team in 2006, 2 of which were 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualification matches against the Republic of Ireland and Belgium, and the other 2 were friendlies against Ethnikos Asteras and Romania under-21. He also appered at a friendly match against Albania under-21 in 2007.
