Pera Club (1922)

The large Greek population of Constantinople, like that of other Ottoman urban centres, continued its athletic traditions in the form of numerous athletic clubs. Clubs such as Énosis Tataoúlon (Ένωσις Ταταούλων) and Iraklís (Ηρακλής) from the Tatavla district, Mégas Aléxandros (Μέγας Αλέξανδρος) and Ermís (Ερμής) of Galata and Olympiás (Ολυμπιάς) of Therapia were established to promote the Hellenic athletic and cultural ideals. These were among a dozen Greek-backed clubs that dominated the sporting landscape of the city in the years preceding World War I. After the war, with the influx of mainly French and English soldiers to Constantinople, many of the city clubs participated in regular competition with teams formed by the foreign troops. Taxim, Pera and Tatavla became the scene of weekly competitions not only in football, but also in athletics, cycling, boxing and tennis.

Among the city's clubs, football was dominated by Énosis Tataoúlon and The Greek Football Team. In 1914, The Greek Football Team was formed as the football department of Ermís, a sports club established in 1875 by the Greek community of Pera (Galata). Known as "Pera" since the mid-1880s, they were forced to change their name to "Pera Sports Club" and then "Beyoğluspor Kulübü" in 1923. Many of their athletes and those of most other Greek sporting clubs fled during the Greek genocide and the population exchanges at the end of the Greco-Turkish War and settled in Athens and Thessaloniki.

In 1924, the founders of AEK – a group of Constantinopolitan refugees (among them former athletes from the Pera Sports Club and the other Constantinopolitan clubs) – met at the athletic shop "Lux" of Emilios Ionas and Konstantinos Dimopoulos on Veranzerou Street in the center of Athens and founded AEK. [2] Their intention was to create a club that provided athletic and cultural activities for the thousands of predominantly Constantinopolitan and Anatolian refugees who had settled in the new suburbs of Athens (including Nea Filadelfeia, Nea Ionia, Nea Chalkidona, Nea Smyrni).

AEK's first game was a 1–1 friendly draw against Atromitos in October 1924. Their first official match was a 4–2 win against Goudi on 14 December 1924.

AEK's football team grew rapidly in popularity during the 1920s, eclipsing the already-established Athens-based refugee clubs (Panionios, Apollon Smyrnis), thanks mainly to the large pool of immigrants who were drawn to the club and due, in no small part, to the political connections and wealth of several of the club's board members. As they did not possess a football ground, AEK played most of their early matches at various locations around Athens, including the grounds of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Leoforos Alexandras Stadium.

AEK's first president, Konstantinos Spanoudis (1871–1941), a journalist and associate of the then Greek Prime Minister, Eleftherios Venizelos, petitioned the government to set aside land for the establishment of a sports ground. In 1926, land in Nea Filadelfeia that was originally set aside for refugee housing was donated as a training ground for the refugees. AEK began using the ground for training (albeit unofficially) and by 1930 the property was transferred to the club.

In 1927 Panathinaikos, Olympiacos and AEK decided to break away from the Athens regional league after a dispute with the fledgling Hellenic Football Federation (EPO). They formed an alliance called P.O.K. (acronym for Podosfairikes Omades Kentrou or Panathinaikos Olympiacos Konstantinoupolis) and started organising friendly matches against each other and several continental European clubs. This also marked the start of the so-called Easter Cup. In 1928, though, the dispute ended and AEK, along with the other P.O.K. clubs, returned to the HFF.

In 1928, Venizelos approved the plans to build what was to become the club's home ground for the next 70 years, the AEK Stadium.

Runners-up: Athens Championship: 5 (1929–30, 1930–31, 1936–37, 1937–38, 1938–39)

In 1930, the AEK Stadium was completed. The area where the stadium was located had previously been used as the training ground of the club. The first home game, played in November 1930, was an exhibition match against Olympiacos that ended in a 2–2 draw.

In 1932, AEK won the inaugural Greek Cup, beating Aris 5–3 in the final. The goals for AEK were scored by Ilias Iliaskos, Nikos Baltas (twice), Oikonomou (O.G.) and Kostas Negrepontis, a veteran of the original Pera Club of Constantinople. This was also the first ever title won by the club.

In 1933, former star Kostas Negrepontis became the manager of AEK. He built a formidable team which was led by Kleanthis Maropoulos and Tryfon Tzanetis, the best pair of forwards at the time and one of the best in Greek football's history. Other important players included Christos Ribas, Michalis Delavinias, Georgios Magiras and Spyros Sklavounos.

The club's success during the late 1930s was highlighted by the Panhellenic Championships in 1939 and 1940. The 2–1 win in the 1939 Cup final, with goals from Alekos Chatzistavridis and Vasilios Manettas, marked the first ever double (domestic Championship and Cup) in the history of Greek football.

The 1940–41 Panhellenic Championship was interrupted due to the Greco-Italian War. During the Greco-Italian War, the player of AEK Kostas Valvanis was badly injured by a mortar bomb that exploded in front of him during a battle at Pogradec. Alekos Chatzistavridis also suffered a serious leg injury during a battle in Tepelenë. [3] After the Battle of Greece (1941) and during the Axis occupation of Greece sporting events were scarce.

During the spring of 1942 Panathinaikos and AEK organized a friendly match to raise money for a hospital but were asked to give part of the revenue to the occupation forces. The captains of both clubs, Kritikos and Maropoulos, refused and the 15,000 spectators who had gathered for the match turned it into one of the largest protests of the time. The match became known as the "Resistance Derby". [4]

The 1942–43 Panhellenic Championship was an attempt to restart sporting activity, but it was not completed.

In June 1944 AEK player Spyros Kontoulis was killed by the Nazi forces during his attempt to escape while being transported to Kaisariani in order to be executed for his involvement in the resistance. [5]

Runners-up: Panhellenic Championship: 1 (1945–46), Greek Cup: 1 (1947–48), Athens Championship: 2 (1950―51, 1951–52)

Under the English manager, Jack Beby, veteran players such as Maropoulos, Tzanetis, Delavinias and Magiras, along with a new generation of players such as Kostas Poulis, Goulios and Pavlos Emmanouilidis, AEK won the 1949 and 1950 Cups, beating Panathinaikos by 2–1 and Aris by 4–0.

In 1950 AEK won another Athens Championship, but the Panhellenic Championship was not played, due to the large number of players who were called up for a prolonged training camp with the national team.

A new generation of stars (1952–1959)

Honours won: Greek Cup: 1 (1955–56)

Runners-up: Panhellenic Championship: 2 (1957–58, 1958–59), Greek Cup: 1 (1952–53), Athens Championship: 2 (1953–54, 1957–58)

The early 1950s saw the emergence of a new generation of star footballers, including Giannis Kanakis, Andreas Stamatiadis and Stelios Serafidis, alongside Poulis and Emmanouilidis.

In 1955, AEK signed Kostas Nestoridis, who was regarded as the best player of his era. His former club Panionios did not consent to the transfer, so Nestoridis was banned for two seasons, due to the regulations that were applied at the time. When his ban ended, Nestoridis finished as the league's top scorer, demonstrating his quality. AEK won the Cup in 1956, this time beating Olympiacos by 2–1 in the final.

The early Alpha Ethniki years (1959–1974)

Honours won: Alpha Ethniki: 3 (1962–63, 1967–68, 1970–71), Greek Cup: 2 (1963–64, 1965–66)

Runners-up: Alpha Ethniki: 4 (1959–60, 1964–65, 1966–67, 1969–70), Balkans Cup: 1 (1966–67)

1959–60 season

In the first season of the newly formed Alpha Ethniki, AEK, under Lukas Aurednik, were strengthened with Giannis Marditsis and Alekos Sofianidis, while Kostas Poulis left after 11 years. In the first matchday on 25 October, Giannis Kanakis scored the first goal in the history of Alpha Ethniki in the 3rd minute against Ethnikos Piraeus. However, Kanakis retired in midseason after 12 years of service to the club. The end of the championship found AEK and Panathinaikos tied at the top and thus the champion was to be determined by a play-off match. In the match that took place on 31 July, despite taking the lead, AEK eventually lost, as the "greens" overturned the score and won by 2–1. Kostas Nestoridis won the top scorer award for the second consecutive time.

1960–61 season

AEK began the season under Tryfon Tzanetis, who was officially appointed in January. However, Aurednik remained in the club alongside the former player Christos Ribas. Spyros Pomonis was promoted from the academies. A series of incidents with referees, combined with a number of poor results, prevented AEK from challenging for the title and led to Aurednik stepping down as manager. Tzanetis' third spell in charge did not change the team's fortunes, as AEK finished fourth. The roster was strengthened with the arrival of Stelios Skevofilakas. Kostas Nestoridis successfully defended his title as the top scorer of the league, for a third consecutive season.

1961–62 season

AEK signed Panikos Krystallis, while Pavlos Emmanouilidis left. In January, Nikos Goumas completed construction on the Nea Filadelfeia Stadium, which was modernized with the reconstruction of its stands and with the installation of a grass pitch. Strong competition from other clubs, which proved more consistent, prevented AEK from finishing higher than the fourth place for a second consecutive season. Kostas Nestoridis once again finished as the league's top scorer for a fourth consecutive time.

1962–63 season

Nikos Goumas appointed the Hungarian-German manager, Jenő Csaknady who introduced a disciplined approach, innovative training methods and new tactical systems. Mimis Papaioannou and the Syrian Ibrahim Mughrabi, the first foreign player to ever play for a Greek club, were among the arrivals. AEK finished level with Panathinaikos at the top of the table, leading to a championship play-off. Panathinaikos initially took the lead, the yellow-blacks made it 3–1, but the greens responded making the final 3–3. Thus, under the regulations of the time AEK won the title due to a better goal ratio. [6] With AEK winning their first post-war league title, Nestoridis finished as the league's top scorer for the fifth and final time in his career with 23 goals, setting a record for consecutive wins of the award. [7]

1963–64 season

In 1963, the club dismissed Csaknády and Heinrich Müller was appointed. Ibrahim Mughrabi and Panikos Krystallis left the club and returned to their respective countries. Aleko Yordan and Kostas Papageorgiou were among the additions.

AEK made their debut in UEFA competitions, in the preliminary round of the European Cup, where they were eliminated by Monaco.

AEK ended up finishing third, but they won the Cup, although the final was not played, since the other semi-finalists, Panathinaikos and Olympiacos were disqualified following serious incidents involving their fans in the semi-final at Leoforos Alexandras Stadium. [8] After Kostas Nestoridis' five consecutive wins, the league's top scorer was Mimis Papaioannou, who with 29 goals kept the award within the club. At the end of the season Müller left the club due to financial disagreements over the renewal of his contract.

1964–65 season

In the summer of 1964 Mirko Kokotović was appointed manager. AEK signed Fotis Balopoulos, Giorgos Kefalidis, Lakis Frogoudakis, Giorgos Karafeskos and the Turkish forward of Greek descent, Lefter Küçükandonyadis. Giannis Marditsis was among the notable departures.

AEK played for the first time in the Cup Winners' Cup against Dinamo Zagreb. Despite their elimination from the tournament, they achieved their first European victory in the first leg.

AEK challenged for the league title until the final matchday, but eventually finished second. Kokotović was dismissed after the end of the season.

1965–66 season

In the summer of 1965, Tryfon Tzanetis in his fourth and final spell at the club, strengthened the squad with the signings of Tasos Vasiliou, Kostas Nikolaidis and Panagiotis Ventouris, while Nikos Stathopoulos was promoted from the academy. On the other side, Miltos Papapostolou and Lefter Küçükandonyadis retired.

In a friendly match between AEK and Real Madrid, Mimis Papaioannou had an impressive performance and the Spaniards made a substantial offer for his transfer. The administration's refusal led to his departure from the club. [9] Ηowever, shortly before the derby with Panathinaikos, AEK offered a new contract to Papaioannou, who returned to the club. [10] However, Ventouris came into conflict with the administration and left for Cape Town.

In the away match against Panathinaikos, while the score was at 1–1, the referee awarded an off-side goal to the greens and as a result incidents occurred with the supporters entering the pitch, which resulted in suspension of the match and its award to Panathinaikos. [11] As a protest, AEK were absent in the next matchday, but with the fear of relegation they were forced to return to the championship, eventually finishing third. Papaioannou won the top scorer award for the second time in his career with 23 goals, succeeding Nestoridis, who had departed midseason, in being the team's leader.

In the Cup, AEK qualified to the final against Olympiacos and the HFF scheduled the match for 10 July, at the Karaiskakis Stadium, which provoked a reaction from Olympiacos, who announced that they would not participate. Thus, on 7 July the HFF, unable to persuade Olympiacos to change their decision, declared AEK the Cup winners. [12]

1966–67 season

Panagiotis Ventouris returned from his spell at South Africa, Vasilis Mastrakoulis was acquired, while Giorgos Petridis left the club. AEK started the season with the European Cup Winners' Cup, playing against Braga, but they were eliminated with two defeats. In December, Tzanetis decided to resign from the bench of the club. After about a month with Georgios Magiras taking charge temporarily, Jenő Csaknády returned after three and a half years. As AEK remained in contention for the title, the government was overthrown and a military dictatorship was imposed on the country, resulting in the interruption of the championship. AEK were not affected by the interruption and continued to challenge for the title, but two draws in the final matchdays ended their chances of winning the championship, finishing second. They also competed in the Balkans Cup, finishing first in their group and qualified in the final against Fenerbahçe. In the first leg at Nea Filadelfeia, AEK won 2–1, but in Istanbul, the Turks won 1–0 and a third match was set at Mithat Paşa, which they lost 3–1.

1967–68 season

AEK emerged as strong contenders for the league, as they defeated Olympiacos 4–1 away from home. Indeed, with a home victory over the same opponent in the second round, they secured the title. [13] Csaknády did not agree to remain at the club, becoming the only manager of AEK to win two championship titles in his two full seasons. [14]

1968–69 season

Branko Stankovic Stankovic-branko.jpg
Branko Stanković

It was a transitional season for AEK, as they appointed Branko Stanković as manager. Giorgos Lavaridis was promoted from the academy. Under Stanković the team's model was based on tactics, technique, physical strength and discipline. The inability of the players to quickly adapt to the new model resulted in a poor start in the league, but in time they began to improve their performances. On 27 October they defeated Olympiacos by 2–3, with Papaioannou playing as goalkeeper from the 85th minute, due to the suspension of Serafidis. [15] AEK remained in contention for the title, until the 22nd matchday when they were defeated at home by Olympiacos, which ended their title challenge, as they eventually finished sixth. However, AEK had one of the most impressive European campaigns, eliminating Jeunesse Esch in the first round and AB in the second round and became the first Greek club to reach the quarter-finals of a European competition, where they were eliminated by Spartak Trnava.

1969–70 season

Stanković began rebuilding the squad, as Stefanos Theodoridis was promoted to the senior team, while the club signed Apostolos Toskas and Andreas Papaemmanouil among others. At the same time Alekos Sofianidis, Aleko Yordan, Andreas Stamatiadis and Kostas Papageorgiou departed, while Lakis Frogoudakis retired in midseason. Finishing second in the league was considered a success, considering the extensive changes in the squad and the strength of Panathinaikos at the time. In the Cup, AEK were eliminated in the second round by Panathinaikos at home, losing by 5–3 in the penalty shootout.

1970–71 season

Stanković completed the renewal of the roster, building a well-organized team. Tasos Vasiliou and Fotis Balopoulos left the club. AEK began their campaign with the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, where they were eliminated in the first round by the newly formed Twente. Despite their elimination, AEK produced strong performances throughout the season and won the league, with several matches remaining.

1971–72 season

Administrative disputes and demands from the players within the club resulted in the start of a declining period for AEK. However, that did not prevent AEK from presenting a competitive team. Lakis Nikolaou stood out among the transfers. AEK played in the European Cup and were eliminated in the first round by Internazionale, but they achieved a historic 3–2 win at Nea Filadelfeia. [16] In the league they finished third, while in the cup they experienced a surprise elimination in the round of 16 by Lamia.

1972–73 season

The declining course of AEK continued. Players such as Petros Ravousis, Tasos Konstantinou, Lakis Stergioudas and Dionysis Tsamis were signed. On the other hand, Stelios Serafidis retired after 19 years at the club, while Panagiotis Ventouris and Andreas Papaemmanouil also departed.

In their first appearance in the UEFA Cup, after eliminating Salgótarján, AEK were eliminated in the second round by Liverpool. In the Cup they faced again a surprise elimination by Apollon Kalamarias in the round of 16, which resulted in the removal of Stanković after five years at the club. After a short period under Kostas Chatzimichail, Billy Bingham was appointed as a replacement of Stanković. In a bad season for the club, the Irish manager was unable to improve the team's fortunes. In the end AEK finished fifth and Bingham was dismissed at the end of the season.

1973–74 season

Amid continued administrative changes and financial difficulties, the English manager Stan Anderson was appointed. Giorgos Sidiropoulos was acquired, while Stelios Konstantinidis, Kostas Nikolaidis and Spyros Pomonis left. In a disappointing season, Anderson was sacked and the season ended under the manager of the reserve team, Kostas Chatzimichail. AEK finished fifth for the second consecutive season.

Major changes took place at the club, as Loukas Barlos became the new president. [17] He began rebuilding the team by appointing František Fadrhonc as manager. [18] The Czechoslovak introduced a series of innovations to the club, while Barlos signed players such as Christos Ardizoglou [19] Georgios Dedes, Walter Wagner and Timo Zahnleiter. [20] Among the departures, were those of Giorgos Karafeskos and Nikos Stathopoulos.

The newly rebuilt AEK played impressive football in their first season, finishing second in the league, having the best attack and defense, while they reached the quarter-finals of the Cup.

1975–76 season

AEK continued their upward trajectory with Barlos prioritizing the signing of Thomas Mavros from Panionios. The president of AEK approached and convinced Mavros to join the club, but the transfer was opposed by Panionios. A legal dispute followed, leaving Mavros unable to play for a season. [21] Giorgos Lavaridis was among the departures.

Fadrhonc's work was beginning to bear fruit, creating a team that combined spectacle and results. AEK returned in the UEFA Cup, after two years of absence, reaching the second round, where they were eliminated by Inter Bratislava.

In the league, AEK, despite being undefeated for 23 matches, a number of defeats towards the end of the season saw them finish second for a second consecutive season. Georgios Dedes with 15 goals won the top scorer award.

1976–77 season

The team that Barlos had envisioned with Fadrhonc was taking shape. After the legal dispute with Panionios ended, the transfer of Mavros was completed. Furthermore, they signed Nikos Christidis, Takis Nikoloudis and Babis Intzoglou. Fadrhonc, considering the playing intelligence and high technical qualities of Mimis Papaioannou, decided to relocate him as an attacking midfielder, in order to fit all the attackers of the roster.

In the UEFA Cup AEK eliminated Dynamo Moscow in the first round, Derby County in the second round, Red Star Belgrade in the third round and QPR in the quarter-finals reaching the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by Juventus, becoming the first Greek club to reach that stage.

A series of poor results in matches played around the European games, resulted in AEK finishing fourth, at a distance of three points from the top.

Barlos strengthened the roster with Milton Viera and Dušan Bajević, while Walter Wagner and Georgios Dedes among others departed.

Disagreements between Barlos and Fadrhonc over the future of AEK emerged, which resulted in the dismissal of the Czechoslovak after an away defeat at the second matchday. Fadrhonc's assistant, Andreas Stamatiadis took charge for the next two matches until Zlatko Čajkovski was appointed.

In the UEFA Cup, after eliminating ASA Târgu Mureș in the first round, AEK were eliminated in the second round by Standard Liège.

With the pairing of Bajević with Mavros in the offense, AEK played impressive football and they won the league comfortably, suffering only two defeats. Thomas Mavros claimed the top scorer of the league award with 22 goals.

In the Cup, AEK, eliminated AO Chania in the first round, Panathinaikos in the second round, Panionios in the round of 16 and Panelefsiniakos in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals thrashed Olympiacos with 6–1 and advanced in the final facing PAOK. There, they won 2–0 and got the trophy, achieving the second domestic double in their history. Dušan Bajević emerged as the top scorer of the Cup with nine goals. Despite this being one of the most successful seasons in the club's history, Čajkovski had already signed with Zürich for the next season.

The notable additions included the promotions of Spyros Ikonomopoulos and Panagiotis Stylianopoulos, but most notably the captain of Panathinaikos, Mimis Domazos. Barlos appointed Ferenc Puskás as the manager of the team.

In the league, AEK started impressively and were ahead in the standings with Olympiacos being the only rival for the title. However, there were many official complaints from the opponents of Olympiacos for attempts of bribery by the red and whites. In the European Cup, AEK were drawn against Porto in the first round and they achieved their greatest victory in the European Cup, recording a 6–1 victory over the Portuguese champions, while in the rematch AEK lost by 4–1. In the second round they faced Nottingham Forest, who eliminated them with two wins.

Towards the end of the season, AEK presented a decline in their performance and Barlos removed Puskás from the bench. Puskás' assistant, Andreas Stamatiadis took charge for the rest of the season. The end of the championship found AEK and Olympiacos tied in the first place and a play-off match for the title was set. After Olympiacos failed to appear for the match, AEK were declared champions. [22] In the Cup, AEK easily reached the final, where they faced Panionios and despite taking the lead early on, they lost 3–1. [23] Thomas Mavros was declared the top scorer of the league with 31 goals and 40 in total, winning the European Silver Shoe. [24]

1979–80 season

In 1979 football in Greece became professional with the chairman, Loukas Barlos becoming the first owner of AEK. His last contribution to the club was the construction of the first two-story podium in a Greek stadium, the so-called "Skepasti" (The Covered). [25] In terms of transfers, AEK mostly promoted players from their academy, such as Stelios Manolas, Lysandros Georgamlis and Vangelis Vlachos, while also signing Franjo Vladić. On the other hand, Apostolos Toskas, Milton Viera, and most importantly Mimis Papaioannou, left the club. Hermann Stessl was appointed manager.

AEK were eliminated in the first round of the European Cup by Argeș Pitești. Following incidents in the dressing room and the referees' room, UEFA imposed a one-year ban on the club. [26]

AEK did not start the championship well and were left behind in the standings, while in the Cup they were eliminated by PAOK in the round of 16. In the first winter transfer period in Greek football, AEK were weakened as Mimis Domazos, Takis Nikoloudis and Dionysis Tsamis departed. A series of bad results brought the dismissal of Stessl from the bench. Miltos Papapostolou took charge in his place.

The team returned to the successful results and with the 25 goals of Bajević, who emerged as the league's top scorer, finished tied with Panathinaikos in third place, two points from the top and a play-off match was set for the third place and a ticket to the UEFA Cup. As AEK were excluded from European competitions, the result would not affect Panathinaikos' qualification for the UEFA Cup, while an AEK victory would allow the club to serve its suspension immediately. Even though Panathinaikos appeared reluctant to play the match, Barlos insisted that it be played and the match went ahead as scheduled with AEK losing by 1–0 and finished fourth. [27]

AEK were entering the final season of one of the most successful periods in their history, as the ownership of Barlos was coming to an end. AEK signed Michalis Tzirakis, Kostas Eleftherakis and Manolis Kottis among others. Babis Intzoglou was among the departures. In the winter Petros Karavitis was acquired, while Tasos Konstantinou departed.

Having been excluded from UEFA competitions, AEK competed in the Balkans Cup, where in the group stage, all three clubs finished level on points and Velež Mostar with a better goal ratio qualified for the final.

In the league, AEK finished in the second place, while in the Cup they were eliminated in the semi-finals by PAOK.

After the departure of Loukas Barlos the ownership of the club was taken over by Andreas Zafiropoulos. The new administration proceeded with the renewal of the roster with the signings of Takis Karagiozopoulos, Giannis Dintsikos, Dinos Ballis and Hristo Bonev. Dušan Bajević, Franjo Vladić and Kostas Eleftherakis left. Hans Tilkowski was appointed manager. AEK made one of the worst starts in their history and Tilkowski was fired midseason. Zlatko Čajkovski returned on the bench after four years. AEK recovered competitively, but not enough to challenge for the title. In the Cup, AEK faced PAOK in the round of 16 and were again eliminated. AEK eventually finished fourth in the league and managed to secure a spot in the European competitions, after a two-year absence.

1982–83 season

In the summer of 1982, Zafiropoulos stepped out of the presidency, which was handed over to the shipowner Michalis Arkadis. Takis Nikoloudis returned to AEK and transfers of Christos Arvanitis and Angel Kolev took place. Hristo Bonev, Petros Karavitis and Giannis Mousouris left the club, while Nikos Christidis and Lakis Nikolaou retired. AEK competed in the UEFA Cup, where they played against Köln in the first round and were eliminated with two defeats. As the season progressed, Čajkovski's strained relations with some players and the administration caused controversy and after a series of poor results, he was dismissed. After a brief spell with Kostas Nestoridis in charge, Helmut Senekowitsch was appointed. The team finished third in the league. AEK ended the season by winning the Cup, by defeating PAOK by 2–0 at the Olympic Stadium in the final that was marked by crowd incidents. [28]

1983–84 season

In the summer of 1983, AEK faced another administrative change in their presidency, as Michalis Arkadis departed and the Cypriot travel agency owner, Lefteris Panagidis replaced him. The English manager John Barnwell was appointed, while Pavlos Papaioannou was acquired among others. On the other hand, Michalis Tzirakis left the club. After a bad start and the elimination from the Cup Winners' Cup in the first round by Újpest, Barnwell was fired. Helmut Senekowitsch returned as manager. In December Takis Nikoloudis and Angel Kolev left the club. Senekowitsch did not manage to change the poor performances of the club and was also fired after two and a half months. With Kostas Nestoridis on the bench, AEK completed a bad season, where they eventually finished seventh in the league, while at the Cup were eliminated in the round of 16 by AEL.

1984–85 season

In the summer of 1984, Zafiropoulos returned to the club's presidency. Petros Ravousis and Lakis Stergioudas left the club. AEK strengthened their squad with Håkan Sandberg, František Štambachr, Nikos Pias, Theologis Papadopoulos and Makis Chatzis, while Václav Halama was appointed manager. AEK did not start well, while in the Cup they suffered a shock elimination by Lamia. Before the middle of the season, Zafiropoulos dismissed Halama. Antonis Georgiadis was appointed as the new manager. In December, František Štambachr left the club, while Márton Esterházy arrived. Esterházy, alongside Mavros and Sandberg formed a formidable attacking trio. Eventually, AEK finished third in the league, tied with Panathinaikos and three points from the top. Thomas Mavros finished once more as the league's top scorer, with 27 goals.

1985–86 season

Antonis Georgiadis left the club and Jacek Gmoch was appointed. Among the departures were Christos Ardizoglou and Christos Arvanitis. In the winter AEK signed Jim Patikas, while Vangelis Vlachos and Lysandros Georgamlis joined Panathinaikos. AEK had to move to the Olympic Stadium due to construction works at AEK Stadium. AEK set a record average league attendance of 31,254 spectators per match. In the UEFA Cup, AEK were eliminated in the first round by Real Madrid, despite recording a historic 1–0 victory in Athens. In the league AEK started well, but their performances in the away matches resulted in a number of defeats during the season. They finished at the third place, tied with Iraklis, seven points from the first place. On 19 April, the general manager of AEK, Giannis Chrysovitsianos, was arrested for attempted bribery to some players of Panserraikos and the final league standings were not finalized until the case was concluded. Eventually, that happened in mid-June, with AEK being punished with a three-point deduction from the next season's championship. Thus, the HFF decided to set a third place play-off match between AEK and Iraklis. Meanwhile, Jacek Gmoch left, with Nikos Christidis sitting on the bench for the match. Iraklis, not accepting the decision, showed up and deliberately turned the match into a farce, being reduced to six players by the 53rd minute, resulting in the match being awarded to AEK, who secured a place in the next season's UEFA Cup. [29]

1986–87 season

The crowd reactions towards Zafiropoulos became more intense, while financial problems began to appear in the club. Nevertheless, AEK proceeded with the transfers of Giorgos Peppes and Lampros Georgiadis, while in the winter they were also strengthened with Rajko Janjanin. At the same time, Márton Esterházy and Dinos Ballis departed. Zafiropoulos appointed Ab Fafié for the position of the manager. In the UEFA Cup, AEK faced Internazionale and were eliminated with two defeats. The elimination from the Cup at the hands of Panionios, combined with the bad results in the home matches, resulted in Fafié getting sacked in December. In a strange decision, Zafiropoulos appointed Nikos Alefantos. AEK continued their instability in their performances and increasingly frustrated the supporters. In a home game Alefantos substituted Thomas Mavros, who had returned after an injury, with the crowd disapproving the substitution. In the press conference of the match, Alefantos spoke out against Mavros, considering him as a "finished" footballer. [30] Those incidents led to the departure of Mavros, after 11 years at the club. Shortly after, the poor results led to the dismissal of Alefantos and AEK finished the season with Nikos Christidis on the bench. AEK did not compete in the last three matchdays of the league, due to a strike called by the Footballers' Union [31] and were punished with a deduction of six points, finishing in the seventh place.

1987–88 season

AEK returned to Nea Filadelfeia Stadium. Håkan Sandberg departed, while Giorgos Savvidis, Henrik Nielsen, Vasilios Vasilakos and Georgios Koutoulas arrived. Todor Veselinović was appointed as manager. AEK were in the title race, with AEL as their only serious challengers. After the victory of AEL over Panathinaikos, their footballer, Georgi Tsingov, was tested positive for doping and the case was referred to the courts and became known as the "Tsingov case". In the Cup, AEK reached the round of 16, facing Olympiacos. After the away 1–1, a scandal broke out on the eve of the rematch, as the former footballer of AEK, Dinos Ballis visited the hotel where the club were staying with a bouquet for Theologis Papadopoulos, raising suspicions that he was attempting to bribe Papadopoulos. Olympiacos won the match by 1–3, eliminating them from the Cup and the case subsequently continued in court. The Koskotas brothers of Olympiacos were accused of trying to bribe Papadopoulos and Vasilakos through Ballis, with only the latter ultimately being punished for attempted bribery. [32] In the "Tsingov case", AEL were initially awarded a defeat by default, a 2-point deduction and punishment of the footballer, which brought AEK to the top of the table. AEL appealed, with their supporters protesting, resulting in an overnight change to the regulation and the return of the points, which led to their eventual conquest of the championship. [33] In the last matchday of the season at Nea Filadelfeia, the tension between the ultras of the club and Andreas Zafiropoulos reached its peak, when the riot police invaded the ultra's stand which resulted in heated encounters, that led in his withdrawal from the presidency. [34] Henrik Nielsen with 21 goals finished the season as the league's top scorer.

The team competed in the UEFA Cup, where they played against Athletic Bilbao and even though they won by 1–0 at home, they were eliminated with a 2–0 defeat in the rematch. In the Cup, AEK were eliminated in the second round by Levadiakos. In December Frank Klopas, Stavros Stamatis and Toni Savevski arrived, while Henrik Nielsen departed. The most crucial match of the season was the away game against Olympiacos for the penultimate matchday, which was a decider for the title, where the defense of AEK held firm and in a counterattack, Karagiozopoulos played a "one-two" with Okonski and scored the "golden" goal, , securing AEK a 1–0 victory and the title. [35]

1989–90 season

Having won the last year's championship and with the addition of Daniel Batista in their roster, AEK started the season with great optimism. Dimitris Pittas left the club and Giannis Dintsikos retired.

There, they faced Marseille and the first match in France, AEK lost 2–0, while in the rematch that ended 1–1 the French reported an attack on their bus, with UEFA eventually punishing AEK with a one-year ban from all European competitions. [36] In the Cup, they were eliminated for a second consecutive season of shock-elimination in the round of 32, by Ionikos. The team had the best defense in the league for a second consecutive year, but ultimately finished second. AEK completed their competitive obligations with the conquest of the League Cup against Olympiacos, in an institution that took place only that season. [37]

1990–91 season

AEK faced administrative problems and most of the season was part of the transitional period, as the ownership of Zafiropoulos was coming to its end. AEK maintained their core roster with their main addition being that of Vaios Karagiannis. The team did not compete in any European competition, due to the last season's ban.

AEK finished 3rd, with the only positive element being the time credit that was given to Bajević, to re-build the team for the oncoming seasons. The problems that the club was facing during the season resulted in a temporary administration led by Kostas Generakis, who was chosen by the Court of First Instance.

1991–92 season

The new administration put the club's finances in order and at the same time proceeded in the signings of Refik Šabanadžović, Vasilis Dimitriadis and Alexis Alexandris, while Mirosław Okoński and Georgios Christodoulou departed.

After the season was over, Dimitris Melissanidis and Giannis Karras purchased the shares of Zafiropoulos, with the former taking over the presidency. [39]

1992–93 season

In the summer of 1992, the new owners of the club, Melssanidis-Karras, started their tenure by helping the club recover financially and supporting Bajević. However, their term began with difficulties since Daniel Batista had already signed for Olympiacos, while Giorgos Savvidis also departed. The club signed Zoran Slišković, Georgios Agorogiannis, Tasos Mitropoulos, and Ilias Atmatsidis, while in December Vasilios Tsiartas and Charis Kopitsis also arrived.

In the first round of the newly-formed, UEFA Champions League, AEK eliminated APOEL on away goals and in the second round they faced PSV Eindhoven and despite the 1–0 win at home, they were eliminated by losing 3–0 in the rematch. AEK won the title for the second consecutive season with a 1-point difference from Panathinaikos.

Alexis Alexandris alongside Krzysztof Warzycha of Panathinaikos were the top scorers of the league with 24 goals.

1994–95 season

AEK decided to make a significant investment in the squad in order to enter the Champions League group stage and signed Christos Kostis, Dimitris Saravakos, Temur Ketsbaia and Nikos Kostenoglou, while Dionysis Chiotis was promoted from the academies. Alexis Alexandris, Tasos Mitropoulos, Frank Klopas and Zoran Slišković departed from the club.

The season did not start well for the team, as they were defeated in the Super Cup by Panathinakos. [41] AEK became the first Greek club to participate in the newly formed Champions League group stage, after eliminating Rangers with wins at both legs. There, they were eliminated after finishing third behind Ajax and AC Milan, who both reached the final, but above Casino Salzburg. [42] AEK struggled to cope with the demands of the consecutive games both in Greece and Europe and eventually finished 5th. In the Cup they reached the final facing Panathinaikos for a second consecutive season. The match ended 0–0 and was led in extra time, where the greens won the trophy.

The duo of Melissanidis-Karras sold their shares to the businessman, Michalis Trochanas. [43]

In the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, AEK after defeating Sion in the first round, they were eliminated by Borussia Mönchengladbach in the second round.

AEK had a quality roster and played spectacular football, but finished second.

Vasilios Tsiartas emerged as the league's top scorer with 26 goals.

In the winter they were strengthened with the transfer of Milen Petkov.

After a brief spell of Takis Karagiozopoulos as an interim manager, Giannis Pathiakakis was appointed. After the departure of Melissanidis, the multinational owners appointed the Dutch Cornelius Sierhuis as the new president, the first foreigner to ever hold that position. Pathiakakis improved the team's morale, however they finished in 3rd place.

In the Cup, AEK reached the final, facing Ionikos, which won 3–0 to claim the trophy. However, the highlight of the match was the fair play move by Nikolaidis, who after scoring a goal with his hand, asked the referee to disallow it, which led the International Olympic Committee to award him for his sportsmanship.

After the resignation of Fernando Santos, [52] Psomiadis made a controversial decision and brought back Dušan Bajević to replace him. [53] The return of Bajević was not well received by the ultras who protested, as they considered his move to rivals Olympiacos in 1996 a high treason. Despite the departures of Akis Zikos, Vaios Karagiannis and Carlos Gamarra, AEK signed Grigoris Georgatos, Kostas Katsouranis, Michel Kreek, Mauricio Wright and Walter Centeno, while Vasilios Borbokis returned to the club.

In the qualifying round of the Champions League, AEK eliminated APOEL and qualified for the group stage.

The summer of 2003 started with severe financial and administrative problems, following the mismanagement under Psomiadis. [56] Furthermore, Demis Nikolaidis, Mauricio Wright and Walter Centeno also left. The arrivals of Nikos Liberopoulos, [57] Ioannis Okkas and Vangelis Moras were expected to help revive the club amid the growing financial problems. Since the demolition of the Nikos Goumas Stadium, AEK were forced to play in various stadiums of Athens.

AEK received a financial boost by reaching the group stage of the Champions League, as they eliminated Grasshopper. There, they were drawn with Monaco, Deportivo La Coruña and PSV Eindhoven and their European campaign came to an end, as they finished fourth with two draws and four defeats. In the winter transfer window, the team was weakened by the departures of Grigoris Georgatos [58] and Christos Maladenis. Modest performances were not enough and unable to cope with the criticism from a large section of the supporters led to Bajević resigning in January, during the match against Iraklis. [59] Ilie Dumitrescu was appointed as a caretaker manager. [60] Nevertheless, Dumitrescu did not manage to change the team's fortunes, who eventually finished fourth in the league. In the Cup, AEK reached the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by Panathinaikos.

the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup, AEK were drawn with Getafe and were eliminated.

In the league AEK closed the gap at the top and had an impressive run in the last ten games of the league, during which they had two 4–0 wins against Olympiacos at home and PAOK away. However, AEK finished second behind Olympiacos, who also won the "Wallner-case". This meant that the team had to compete in the play-offs, where they faced disastrous results and finished second, missing the opportunity to compete in the Champions League of the following season. Ismael Blanco was the league's top scorer with 19 goals.

Georgios Donis was appointed as manager of AEK. [69] There were big changes in the squad with Daniel Majstorović, [70] Ignacio Scocco, Sebastián Saja, Juanfran, Angelos Basinas, [71] Sotirios Kyrgiakos, [72] and Rafik Djebbour arriving at the club. Among the departures were those of three captains, Akis Zikos, Traianos Dellas [73] and Nikos Liberopoulos, Rivaldo, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Rodolfo Arruabarrena, Panagiotis Kone, Dániel Tőzsér and Júlio César.

The season did not start well, as AEK failed to overcome Omonia in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Cup, resulting in their elimination from European competitions. A series of poor performances and results left the team in a difficult situation, with Nikolaidis leaving due to disappointing results and a lengthy clash with the ultras. The presidency was temporarily taken by Nikos Koulis and Takis Kannellopoulos. A series of disappointing results continued and the administration asked for the resignation of Donis. Koulis and Kanellopoulos appointed Dušan Bajević as manager for the third time. Bajević brought some stability to the team's performances, culminating in AEK's progression to the Cup final against Olympiacos. Although AEK took an early 2–0 lead and later a 3–2 lead, the match ended in a 4–4 draw and the winner would be decided in a penalty shootout in which they lost 14–15 due to three missed penalties. In the league AEK finished fourth, qualifying for the play-offs. There, they secured the second place and would compete in the newly founded Europa League. Ismael Blanco finished the season with a total 23 goals, earning him his second consecutive title of the league's top scorer, while he also was the top scorer of the Cup.

In the summer transfer period AEK chose to sign experienced players with the return of the captains, Nikos Liberopoulos and Traianos Dellas and the signing of Christos Patsatzoglou and Papa Bouba Diop. [76] Daniel Majstorović, Georgios Alexopoulos, Juanfran and Tam Nsaliwa were among the departures.

AEK reached the Europa League play-off round, overcoming Dundee United, amid strange events surrounding the second leg, which took place at Karaiskakis Stadium without supporters of AEK. In the group stage, they were drawn against Zenit Saint Petersburg, Anderlecht and Hajduk Split. In the league AEK lost twice and drew once in their four first matches. Bajević resigned after a 3–1 defeat against Olympiacos Volos. [77] The manager of the youth team, Bledar Kola was appointed as a caretaker until Manolo Jiménez was appointed. [78]

The Spaniard started with an impressive 4–0 away victory against Aris and the team's results were immediately improved and AEK won both derby matches with 1–0 victories over Panathinaikos and Olympiacos and a 4–0 win over PAOK.

In the Cup, AEK eliminated AEL, Panathinaikos and PAOK, reaching the final against Atromitos, whom they defeated 3–0 to claim the Cup. [79] Ismael Blanco finished as the top scorer of the tournament with 4 goals.

In the league, AEK were affected by the rotation between league and Cup matches and thus finished third as well.

2011–12 season

The departures of Ignacio Scocco, Sebastián Saja, Papa Bouba Diop and Ismael Blanco greatly weakened the squad. However, AEK signed Eiður Guðjohnsen, [80] José Carlos, Dimitrios Konstantopoulos [81] and Fabián Vargas, [82] while Steve Leo Beleck and Cala were signed on loan.

In the Europa League play-off round, AEK eliminated Dinamo Tbilisi. In the group stage, AEK were drawn against Anderlecht, Lokomotiv Moscow and Sturm Graz, where they managed a third-place finish. Jiménez's contract was terminated following heavy defeats in the Europa League and against PAOK [83] Former player and manager Nikos Kostenoglou agreed to return as AEK manager. [84] During the winter transfer period AEK were weakened with the departure of Cala. [85]

In the Cup AEK were eliminated by PAOK in a single match in the round of 16. Despite the problems, the club qualified for the play–offs and competed for the Champions League qualification slot, but lost it in the final fixture.

2012–13 season

Owing to the growing financial problems AEK did not participate in the Europa League, as they failed to meet the licensing requirements. Furthermore, both of the club's captains, Traianos Dellas and Nikos Liberopoulos, decided to retire. In the face of this crisis, AEK legend, Thomas Mavros took over the presidency of the club and appointed Vangelis Vlachos as the new manager. The squad was severely weakened as Viktor Klonaridis, Grigoris Makos and Leonardo were sold, while Nikolaos Georgeas, Pantelis Kafes, Fabián Vargas, Kostas Manolas, Eiður Guðjohnsen and Nikolaos Karabelas were released, since the club was not able to bear the weight of their contracts. Summer transfers were predominantly young Greek players. Notable additions were Georgios Katidis and Miguel Cordero.

The club performed badly and was constantly in the relegation zone. As a result, Vlachos was sacked and assistant Manolis Papadopoulos took charge until a replacement was found. Mavros, who disagreed with the decision, resigned from the club's presidency. Vlachos was replaced by Ewald Lienen. The winter transfer period was marked by the departure of Panagiotis Lagos and Giannis Kontoes. However, the additions of Antonis Petropoulos, Pavlos Mitropoulos, Anastasios Tsoumagas and Dimitrios Anakoglou helped the team improve their performance and rise from the relegation zone. After a six-match unbeaten streak, AEK regained hope of avoiding relegation. An away defeat at the hands of PAS Giannina resulted in Lienen being sacked. [86] AEK appointed their former player, Traianos Dellas as manager in an attempt to avoid relegation. [87] AEK wanted 3 points in the last 2 matchdays in order to keep themselves in the division. The first was a crowded home match against Panthrakikos, Mavroudis Bougaidis scored an own goal in the last minutes, with the ultras invading the pitch. [88] As a result, the match was awarded 0–3 against AEK, and they were deducted three points from the championship. AEK appealed and in the hope of having the points restored, played in the last match against Atromitos away from home, where they lost 1–0 after conceding a last-minute goal, which resulted in the relegation of the club. [89]

Dimitris Melissanidis became the new owner of AEK. [90] [91] After the relegation of AEK to the second division, the previous administration had decided to declare the club bankrupt in order to be released of their debts. Thus, AEK became an amateur club and was relegated to the third division instead of the second. [92] [93] Melissanidis presented the project of a new stadium for the club, Agia Sophia Stadium. Dellas remained on the bench and the roster was filled with young footballers, Nikolaos Georgeas and Bruno Cirillo returned, while Miguel Cordero and Dimitrios Anakoglou among others, remained. The most notable signings included Vasilios Rovas, Adam Tzanetopoulos, Vangelis Platellas, Alexandre D'Acol and Ivan Brečević.

AEK easily won the promotion from Group 6 of the Football League 2, with only one loss to their record. However, they failed to win the Football League 2 Cup, after being knocked out in the semi-finals by Agrotikos Asteras, losing 2–0 after extra time.

In the summer of 2014 AEK made signings from first division teams with Petros Mantalos, Giannis Anestis, Vasilios Lampropoulos, Christos Aravidis, Dimitrios Kolovetsios, Michalis Bakakis and Helder Barbosa. During the winter, Jakob Johansson was signed.

The team went through the league unbeaten until the play-offs. The highlight of the season was the quarter-final of the Cup against Olympiacos, which AEK lost at home by a late goal after a 1–1 draw away. The match was abandoned after an invasion by ultras shortly after the goal with the Olympiacos manager Vítor Pereira and Pajtim Kasami making offensive gestures at the stands. [94] In the play-offs, the team lost its consistency and its unbeaten streak ended, but nevertheless were promoted to the Super League.

AEK finally returned to the Super League after two years of absence. The major signings were André Simões Rodrigo Galo, Ronald Vargas, Dídac Vilà and Diego Buonanotte, while Rafik Djebbour returned after 4 years.

AEK started the championship well, but after a 4–0 defeat from Olympiacos, which resulted in Dellas resigning after two and a half years at the club and with the U20 manager, Stelios Manolas replacing him until a new manager was found. [95] Gus Poyet was appointed until the end of the season. The club was strengthened in January with the transfer of Tomáš Pekhart.

The Uruguayan managed to change the atmosphere and won the derbies, against Olympiacos, PAOK and Panathinaikos with 1–0 at home and Vargas scoring in each match. AEK also enjoyed a good Cup campaign winning all their matches and reaching the semi-final before Poyet was sacked due to conflicts with Melissanidis. Manolas was appointed as interim manager again until the end of the season, qualifying for the Cup final, where AEK beat Olympiacos with 2–1 and lifted the trophy. Manolas did not sit on the bench again due to overwork, with his assistant, Nikos Panagiotaras, sitting in his place.

At the league play–offs they did not capitalise on their form in the Cup and, facing fatigue, finished third, qualifying for the Europa League, returning in European competition after 5 years.

AEK appointed Temur Ketsbaia as their new manager. The club signed Hugo Almeida, Patito Rodríguez, Joleon Lescott, Vasilis Barkas, Lazaros Christodoulopoulos, Anastasios Bakasetas and Dmytro Chyhrynskyi. On the other side, Miguel Cordero, Diego Buonanotte, and Helder Barbosa left the club.

This season marked the club's return to European competitions, facing Saint-Étienne in the third qualifying round of the Europa League, where after a 0–0 in France, they were narrowly eliminated by losing 0–1 in Greece.

AEK did not start the season well and after a 3–0 away loss to Olympiacos, Ketsbaia was sacked. Immediately after the removal of Ketsbaia, Jose Morais was appointed, with the aim of implementing an attacking style of football. As the season progressed the performances deteriorated with AEK staying far behind in the standings. Furthermore, Joleon Lescott was released from the club, with Ognjen Vranješ arriving in his place during the winter transfer period, while Vangelis Platellas also left. However, AEK continued their poor performances and Morais resigned in January. Manolo Jiménez returned to the club's bench after six years. AEK proceeded with the loan of Sergio Araujo. AEK improved their performances and managed to cover the lost ground, finishing at the fourth place and advanced to the play-offs.

In the Cup, AEK reached the semi-finals, where they faced Olympiacos and won 2–1 away, with the rematch at home becoming a thriller after the red and whites took the lead, in a match that ended with Almeida playing as goalkeeper in the stoppage time, with AEK advancing on away goals. In the final, AEK faced PAOK at Panthessaliko Stadium, where wild incidents between the ultras of the clubs took place. In the match, AEK were defeated by 2–1, with PAOK scoring the final goal from an offside position and lost the trophy. In the play-offs, AEK secured first place on the final matchday, which led to qualification for the Champions League the following season.

AEK kept their main squad and were strengthened with Hélder Lopes, Marko Livaja and Panagiotis Kone. On the contrary, Dimitrios Kolovetsios, Dídac Vilà, Ronald Vargas and Christos Aravidis departed.

In the third qualifying round of the Champions League, AEK faced CSKA Moscow and were eliminated, continuing in the play-off round of the Europa League. There, they eliminated Club Brugge and returned to the group stage of the Europa League, where they were drawn with Milan, Rijeka and Austria Wien, finishing second and advanced to the knockout stage. In the round of 32, they faced Dynamo Kyiv and were eliminated on away goals.

In the winter transfer period, AEK signed Masoud Shojaei and Niklas Hult. In February, PAOK were punished with a 3-point deduction and a home ban against AEK, due to the suspension of their home game against Olympiacos. In the midnight before the match, the verdict of PAOK's appeal came out returning the points to the club and lifting their home ban. Under these conditions, AEK played against PAOK and at the 90th minute, Varela scored a goal with Maurício interfering with the play from an offside position. The referee initially counted the goal, but later called it off, resulting in the major shareholder of PAOK, Ivan Savvidis storming onto the pitch and attacking the referee, with a revolver in his belt. The referee interrupted the match and later returned to the pitch with the players of PAOK to continue the match with the score at 1–0, but the yellow-blacks refused to come out and the match was abandoned. The case was transferred to courts, where AEK were vindicated and were awarded the match. AEK were crowned champions and celebrated at their under-construction stadium.

In the Cup, AEK reached the final for the third consecutive year, where they faced PAOK, for the second consecutive year and lost 2–0, missing out on a domestic double.

AEK aimed to return to the group stage of the Champions League, however the previous season's team began to break up. The decision of Manolo Jiménez not to renew his contract, led to his replacement by Marinos Ouzounidis. Giannis Anestis, Ognjen Vranješ, Jakob Johansson and Lazaros Christodoulopoulos departed. On the other hand, AEK proceeded with the loans of Ezequiel Ponce, Marios Oikonomou, Alef and Lucas Boyé.

In the Champions League qualifiers AEK successfully reached the group stage, eliminating Celtic and MOL Vidi, making a domestic record of a 14-game unbeaten streak in the UEFA competitions. [96] They were drawn alongside Bayern Munich, Benfica and Ajax, where AEK lost all their matches and finished last. In the league, AEK started well, but an away defeat to PAOK and a three-point deduction after a home draw with Olympiacos left them behind in the title race. In the winter transfer period AEK signed Nenad Krstičić. Ouzounidis, unable to restore them to the title race, resigned in February. Ouzounidis was replaced by Jiménez, but the change did not improve the performance of AEK who finished third.

In the Cup, they again reached the final, where they faced PAOK for a third consecutive year and as in the previous season's final lost 1–0.

In the summer of 2019, the club, in search of a replacement for Manolo Jiménez, appointed Miguel Cardoso. Transfers included the return of Ognjen Vranješ, while Daniele Verde and Nélson Oliveira also arrived. Important players, such as Vasilios Lampropoulos, Rodrigo Galo and Anastasios Bakasetas departed, while the loans of Alef, Lucas Boyé and Ezequiel Ponce expired.

In the third qualifying round of the Europa League, AEK eliminated Universitatea Craiova and in the play-offs they faced Trabzonspor. After a heavy 1–3 home defeat, followed by another defeat against Xanthi, Cardoso was sacked. The Portuguese was replaced with the manager of the U19 team, Nikos Kostenoglou, in his third spell at the club. In the rematch against Trabzonspor, AEK had a great performance and won by 0–2, losing qualification on away goals. With Kostenoglou, the team had a temporary boost in their performance, but could not follow their contenders in the title race. Thus, the administration dismissed the Greek manager. The new manager was Massimo Carrera. The club were strengthened with the loans of Damian Szymański and Sergio Araujo, in his third spell at the club.

AEK were in good form, finishing third before the start of the play-offs. During that period the COVID-19 pandemic began, causing disruption to all sporting activities for about 3 months. The restart in early June found AEK competing in the play-offs affected by the interruption and lost the opportunity to finish second in a match where PAOK had knowingly played with unreviewed health cards of their footballers, which would have resulted in the match being awarded to AEK if the club had lodged an objection.

In the Cup, AEK easily passed through Asteras Tripolis in the round of 16 and Panetolikos in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, they faced Aris and after a 2–1 win in the first at home, went to Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium, where AEK secured qualification after a 2–2 draw after extra time. Thus, the yellow-blacks reached the final for the fifth consecutive year facing Olympiacos. After a series of postponements the match took place in September at Panthessaliko Stadium. Due to the delay, the clubs had to compete without the players acquired from the 2020 summer transfer period, by decision of the UEFA. In the match, AEK were defeated 1–0 by an inadequate Olympiacos, losing their fourth consecutive final.


2020–21 season

The season started for the first time in three years with the same manager in charge. Among the summer transfers, the permanent signing of Damian Szymański and the signings of Ionuț Nedelcearu, Yevhen Shakhov, Levi García, Muamer Tanković and Karim Ansarifard. On the other hand, Vasilis Barkas, Marios Oikonomou, Niklas Hult, Daniele Verde and Victor Klonaridis departed, while Ognjen Vranješ and Sergio Araujo once again did not remain permanently at the club. It was also the season that followed the interruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in no actual pre-season preparation during summer, while all of the matches were played in front of empty stands.

The draw for the third qualifying round of the Europa League brought AEK against St. Gallen. Due to a busy schedule and the consequences of the pandemic, the qualifying and play-off rounds were played as single-leg ties. Thus, at Kybunpark, AEK prevailed 1–0 and qualified in the play-off round, where they faced Wolfsburg at the Olympic Stadium and won by 2–1 with a comeback, earning a place at the group stage. There, they were drawn alongside Braga, Leicester City and Zorya Luhansk, where their European campaign ended poorly, as they finished last with only 1 win.

AEK were going well in the league, but the team's performance decreased after five players were diagnosed with COVID-19. A series of poor performances led to the termination of Carrera's contract. The Italian was replaced with Manolo Jiménez in his fourth spell at AEK. During the winter transfer period, Livaja departed, after his mutual contract termination. Initially, the Spaniard seemed to improve the team's performances, but yet again the team collapsed.

In the Cup, after two expected but not easy qualifications against Apollon Smyrnis and Volos, they faced another elimination by PAOK in the semi-finals. The regular season ended with the team struggling to finish third. The collapse of the team resulted in AEK facing embarrassing defeats in the play-offs, which brought them close to the absence from the European competitions, but an away win against Panathinaikos secured a fourth-place finish.

2021–22 season

After a search for a new manager, Vladan Milojević was appointed. Several transfers were made, with the permanent return of Ognjen Vranješ and Sergio Araujo, while players such as Cican Stanković, Georgios Tzavellas, Lazaros Rota, Ehsan Hajsafi, Milad Mohammadi, Nordin Amrabat and Steven Zuber joined the club. Players with great contribution, such as Dmytro Chyhrynskyi, Hélder Lopes and Nélson Oliveira departed.

AEK started in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League, facing Velež Mostar. In the first leg at Sarajevo, despite taking the lead early on, they lost 2–1. Since UEFA abolished the away goals rule, the yellow-blacks needed two goals to qualify at the normal time. The rematch in Athens was dominated by AEK, who in the stoppage time made the 1–0, taking the match to extra time and eventually to the penalty shootout, where they lost 2–3, suffering one of their heaviest European eliminations.

The season already started badly and despite the quality roster, they lacked the mentality to compete for the title. The first negative results raised doubts within the administration about the Serbian manager and in October his contract was terminated. AEK found themselves again looking for a manager in mid-season. The administration appointed the promising Argiris Giannikis. The change of manager initially brought some positive results, but they quickly fell apart as the team lacked many of the qualities required to become title contenders.

In the Cup, AEK passed through A.E. Kifisia for the round of 16, but afterwards they were eliminated by PAOK after conceding two goals in the stoppage time of the second leg. After a series of bad results, a 3–0 away to Panathinaikos, brought an end to Giannikis' tenure at AEK. The manager of the B team, Sokratis Ofrydopoulos, took charge as a caretaker in order to secure a place in UEFA competitions, while Grzegorz Krychowiak arrived to compete in the play-offs.

AEK entered the play-offs in fourth place and after a run of consecutive matches without a win, they eventually failed to achieve their goal after an away 3–2 defeat with a comeback by Aris on the penultimate matchday.

Matías Almeyda

The previous season ended with AEK failing to qualify for any European competition. Matías Almeyda was appointed manager. Players such as Domagoj Vida, Harold Moukoudi, Djibril Sidibé, Jens Jønsson, Mijat Gaćinović and Niclas Eliasson arrived, while Orbelín Pineda joined on loan. André Simões left the club after seven years.

From early in the season, AEK began to show signs of the team that Almeyda was building. They played with dominance, pressing their opponents all over the pitch and recovering the ball immediately after losing possession. Furthermore, with the completion of Agia Sophia Stadium, AEK entered their new home, which boosted the team's performances. As the season progressed, they were in second place behind Panathinaikos, but the performances of the two teams suggested that the gap was recoverable. On 5 February, AEK faced Atromitos at Peristeri Stadium, where one of the goalposts was found to be shorter than required. After unsuccessful attempts by the hosts to resolve the issue, the match was not played and the case was taken to the courts. Despite the regulation, Atromitos were absolved of any responsibility and the match was ordered to be replayed. Nevertheless, AEK won the match and entered the play-offs having reduced the gap to Panathinaikos to just two points. The title was decided on the penultimate matchday, when AEK defeated Aris and Panathinaikos lost to Olympiacos. AEK were therefore crowned champions, with the trophy presentation taking place inside their new stadium.

AEK comfortably progressed past PAS Giannina, A.E. Kifisia and Panserraikos. In the semi-finals they eliminated Olympiacos with an emphatic 3–0 at home and a 2–1 defeat away. In the final, they faced PAOK. After a series of disputes and changes regarding the venue, AEK dominated the match, but after Rota was sent off, they were forced into a more defensive role. Nevertheless, they managed to score through Moukoudi, while in the final minutes, Fernandes sealed the victory with a solo goal, securing AEK's third domestic double.

In the summer of 2023, Almeyda decided to retain the squad that had won the double. Georgios Tzavellas departed the club, while Stavros Pilios, Alexander Callens and Ezequiel Ponce were acquired.

In the third qualifying round of the Champions League, AEK were drawn against Dinamo Zagreb. On the eve of the first leg in Nea Filadelfeia, around 100 ultras of the Croatian team, joined by Greek ultras, were involved in clashes outside the stadium, which resulted in the murder of an AEK supporter. [97] UEFA decided to postpone the match, which was moved as the second leg of the tie. [98] [99] Thus, at Stadion Maksimir AEK won by 1–2, with a late comeback, while in the rematch, they again fell behind, but managed to equalize at 2–2 and advance to the next round. In the following round they faced Royal Antwerp and were eliminated after losing both legs. In the group stage of the Europa League they were drawn with Ajax, Marseille and Brighton & Hove Albion and eventually missed out on qualification on the final matchday.

AEK entered the Cup in the round of 16, where they were eliminated by Aris after two draws and a 4–2 defeat on penalties.

In the league, AEK displayed strong performances, especially in the derbies, but eventually entered the play-offs in second place. There, they moved to the top of the standings, but two consecutive defeats against PAOK and Olympiacos gave the advantage to the club of Thessaloniki. On the final matchday, AEK lost the title despite defeating Lamia, as PAOK also won their match and were crowned champions.

On 10 June 2024, Dimitris Melissanidis announced his departure from the ownership of the club after 11 years, handing it over to Marios Iliopoulos. [100] [101] [102] AEK made several signings, including Thomas Strakosha, Roberto Pereyra, Erik Lamela, Aboubakary Koïta and Anthony Martial. Among the departures were those of Georgios Athanasiadis, Djibril Sidibé, Ezequiel Ponce and Sergio Araujo. Two months later, Iliopoulos reorganized the football department by hiring Javier Ribalta as its director. [103]

AEK began their campaign in the Conference League, where they comfortably eliminated Inter Club d'Escaldes, while in the following round they suffered a surprise elimination by Noah, which raised the first doubts about Almeyda.

AEK were suffering from recurring injuries to key players, while the way they were treated by referees also affected the team. These issues negatively affected Almeyda's high-intensity style of play. The away 4–1 defeat against Olympiacos raised further doubts about Almeyda, as it proved that his playing style was no longer as effective as before. Furthermore, the differences between Almeyda and Ribalta became evident during the winter transfer window, when Galanopoulos, Amrabat, Zuber and Levi García departed, but the club made no signing.

As in the previous season, AEK entered the Cup in the round of 16, facing Aris. This time they managed to overcome their opponent with a 1–0 win in Athens and a 1–1 draw in Thessaloniki. In the quarter-finals, they faced PAOK, where they won the first leg 1–0 at home and in the rematch they secured qualification in extra time after a 1–1 draw. In the semi-finals, AEK played against Olympiacos and suffered a heavy elimination after a 6–0 defeat at Piraeus and a 2–0 win at Nea Filadelfeia.

AEK entered the play-offs in a significant decline in both form and confidence following the negative results against Olympiacos. Thus, despite entering the play-offs in second place, AEK finished fourth, losing all six matches of the round. After the end of the season, Almeyda's contract with the club was terminated. [104]

Emblem of the Palaiologos dynasty. Byzantine Palaiologos Eagle.svg
Emblem of the Palaiologos dynasty.

In 1924, AEK Athens adopted the image of a double-headed eagle as their emblem. AEK Athens was created by Greek refugees from Constantinople in the years following the Greco-Turkish War and subsequent population exchange and the emblem was chosen as a reminder of their lost homelands representing the club's historical ties to Constantinople. After all, the double-headed eagle is featured in the flag of the Greek Orthodox Church, whose headquarters are in Constantinople and served as Imperial emblem under the Palaiologos dynasty.

AEK Athens' main emblem underwent numerous minor changes between 1924 and 1982. The design of the eagle on the shirt badge was often not identical to the design of the eagle depicted on official club correspondence, merchandise and promotional material. All designs were considered "official" (in the broadest sense of the word), however, it was not until 1982 that an identifiable, copyrighted design was established as the club's official shirt and badge. The emblem design was changed in 1989 and again in 1993 to the current shield design.

Yellow and black, the colours AEK Athens has adopted for their kits come from it connection with Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire. Yellow symbolises the hope that the Greek refugees will once be able to return to their homes while black symbolises the grief for the loss of their homes. The colours are also featured in the flag of the Greek Orthodox Church.

The third kit is usually blue and white colour taken from the Greek flag. For a couple of season the third kit used to be dark scarlet, a colour which was featured in the Empire's flag.

AEK Athens have always worn predominantly striped or plain yellow shirts, black shorts and yellow or black socks. Variations mostly include all-black or all-yellow kits. The most notable exception were the kits manufactured by Italian firms Basic and Kappa which were used during the 1990s. They featured a double-headed eagle across the kit and the 1994 version was voted "Kit of the season" by UEFA.

AEK Athens had been using an old training complex in Thrakomakedones for years. In November 2010, they moved to the Spata Training Centre. The complex was built using funds of the then shareholder Nikos Notias. During the ownership of Dimitris Melissanidis the training center was modernized in 2013 and was expanded in 2014. In April 2022 a pitch with stands under the name "Serafidio Stadium" was built to host the matches of AEK Athens B and friendly games of the first team.
