Origins
![](../I/m/Pera_Club.jpg)
The large Greek population of Constantinople (now Istanbul), not unlike those of the other urban centres of the Ottoman Empire, promoted the Hellenic athletic and cultural ideals and traditions through numerous athletic clubs.
The clubs founded by Greeks included: Enosi Tataoulon (Greek: Ένωση Ταταούλων) from the Kurtuluş (Greek: Ταταύλα) district; Hermes (Greek: Ερμής) from the Beyoğlu (Greek: Πέρα) district, which was formed in 1877 but was forced to stop its operations in 1922 by the local authorities; "Megas Alexandros" Vathyriakos (Greek: "Μέγας Αλέξανδρος" Βαθυρυακός) of the Büyükdere district; "Olympias" Therapion (Greek: "Ολυμπίας" Θεραπειών) of the Büyükdere district; and Iraklis (Greek: Ηρακλής) from the Kurtuluş (Greek: Ταταύλα) district which was founded in 1896 making it the oldest existing club in the city.
Greek Football Team from the Beyoğlu (Greek: Πέρα) district which was founded in 1914 and became one of the most popular clubs in the city. In 1923 it was forced to change its name to Pera Club and many of its athletes fled during the population exchanges at the end of the Greco-Turkish War, settling in Athens and Thessaloniki. The remnant club had to change its name once more during the same year, this time to Beyoğlusport. Until 1926 they settled in the gym once used by Hermes.

In 1924, a group of Constantinopolitan refugees (among them athletes from Pera Club and the other Constantinopolitan clubs) met at the athletic shop of Emilios and Menelaos Ionas on Veranzerou Street, in the center of Athens, and established AEK. The founders of AEK established the club with the intention of providing athletic and cultural diversions for the thousands of predominantly Constantinopolitan and Anatolian refugees who had settled in the new suburbs of Athens (Nea Filadelfeia, Nea Ionia, Nea Chalkidona, Nea Smyrni, etc.).
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 that 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. Not possessing a football ground, AEK played most of its 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 Filadelfia 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 signed over 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) 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, entered the EPO fold once again.
In 1928, Venizelos approved the plans to build what was to become AEK’s home ground for the next 70 years, the Nikos Goumas Stadium.

In 1930 the Nikos Goumas Stadium was completed. The area where the stadium was located had been previously used as the training ground of the club. The first home game, 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 striker, Kostas Negrepontis took over the managerial guidance of AEK. He managed to build 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 Michalis Delavinias, Giorgos Mageiras 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, goals by Alekos Chatzistavridis and Manetas, 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 (1940–1941). After the Battle of Greece (1941) and during the Axis occupation of Greece (1941–1945) sporting events were scarce.
During the spring of 1942 Panathinaikos and AEK were to give a friendly match to raise money for a hospital but were asked to give part of the revenue to the occupation forces. Tasos Kritikos and Kleanthis Maropoulos, who served as captains of the two clubs, refused and the 15,000 spectators turned into one of the largest protests of the time. The game is now known as the "Resistance Derby". In June 1944 AEK player Spiros Kontoulis was killed by the Nazi forces during his attempt to escape while being transported to Kaisariani in order to be executed for being part of the resistance.
The 1942–43 Panhellenic Championship was an attempt to restart sporting activity but was not completed.

The club's most memorable moment in European competitions was the campaign to the semi-final of the UEFA Cup during the 1976–77 season under František Fadrhonc's management. In the way to the semi-final AEK Athens managed to eliminate four clubs. In the first round they faced Soviet champions Dynamo Moscow. In Athens won 2–0 with goals by Takis Nikoloudis and Mimis Papaioannou. In Moscow, Dynamo paid them back by winning 2–0 and leading the match to extra time. In the last minute of extra time, AEK Athens managed to score thanks to a penalty kick by Tasos Konstantinou and proceeded to the second round. They were drawn against English 4th placed side Derby County. In Athens a goal by Walter Wagner and an own goal by Rod Thomas gave AEK the 2-0 win. In Derby AEK Athens found themselves behind in the score line but responded scoring three times with Takis Nikoloudis, Tasos Konstantinou and Walter Wagner. Derby Country only managed to score a consolation goal and the match ended in a 2-3 win for AEK Athens. In the third round AEK Athens had to oppose Yugoslav giants Red Star Belgrade. In Athens AEK was once again victorious by winning 2-0. Mimis Papaioannou and Thomas Mavros were the goal-scorers. In Belgrade Red Star took the lead with a goal by Petar Baralić but Walter Wagner quickly equalised. The two additional goals scored by Zoran Filipović and Dušan Savić were not enough and AEK Athens won on away goals. In the quarter-final AEK Athens faced their greatest challenge to that moment, English league's runner-up side QPR. The first leg was played in London. The two penalty kick goals in the first ten minutes scored by Gerry Francis and another one scored by Stan Bowles gave QPR the 3–0 win and what looked like a certain qualification. Nevertheless, AEK Athens made the impossible possible. With two goals by Thomas Mavros and ano more by Mimis Papaioannou AEK Athens sent the match to extra time and eventually to a penalty shootout. Three minutes before the final whistle, František Fadrhonc had Nikos Christidis substitute Lakis Stergioudas, the team's regular goalkeeper. His move proved vital as Nikos Christidis saved two penalties and gave AEK Athens a 7-6 win. In the semi-finals draw AEK Athens were to play either Italian league's runner-up side Juventus or Spanish league's third placed side Athletic Bilbao. Ultimately AEK Athens had to face the Italians. In Turin, Juventus scored first with Antonello Cuccureddu but AEK Athens responded with a goal by Lefteris Papadopoulos. Two goals by Roberto Bettega and one by Franco Causio followed, giving Juventus a 4-1 victory. Juventus also won in Nikos Goumas Stadium thanks to a goal scored by Roberto Boninsegna end went on to win their first European title.

The Dušan Bajević Era, Part II (2002–2004)
Honours Won: —
Runner-up: —
2002–03 season
AEK Athens chairman Makis Psomiadis replaced popular head coach Fernando Santos[2] with former AEK Athens legend Dušan Bajević. This decision was not received well by hardcore fans Original 21 who protested because they considered his move to rivals Olympiacos six year ago as high treason. Despite the open hostility towards Bajevic the signings of Vassilis Borbokis and Grigoris Georgatos spread optimism for a successful season.
AEK Athens' unbeaten run in the UEFA Champions League was the highlight of the season. The club played against Cypriot champions APOEL in the third qualifying round. In the first leg in Nicosia APOEL scored first with Marinos Ouzounidis but AEK Athens managed to take the lead with Vasilis Borbokis scoring twice. A late equaliser by Costas Malekkos did not prove enough for APOEL as Demis Nikolaidis scored during stoppage time giving his club the win. In Athens AEK Athens won thanks to a header by Mauricio Wright and entered the group stage where they were drawn against Belgian champions Racing Genk, Italian runner-up side Roma and UEFA Champions League's holders Real Madrid. AEK Athens secured two goalless draws against Racing Genk in Genk and Roma in Athens before confronting Real Madrid. Defending champions Madrid drew 3-3 with AEK, but were twice behind against the Greek side. Vasilis Tsiartas became the first player to score against the Spanish side in this season's competition with a sixth-minute free-kick. However, Madrid were soon back on level terms thanks to Zinedine Zidane's goal after 15 minutes before further goals from Christos Maladenis and Demis Nikolaidis put the hosts in the driving seat. However, another Zidane strike and a second-half Guti goal ensured Madrid left with a point.[3] An in a way opposite match was played in Madrid where Steve McManaman's two goals put Real Madrid in front during half-time and AEK Athens equilised with goal by Kostas Katsouranis and Walter Centeno.[4] The next match was against Racing Genk in Athens. Racing Genk scored first and AEK Athens responded with Vasilis Lakis scoring. The group stage was concluded in Rome against Roma where AEK Athens was once again behind in the scoreline by a goal scored by Marco Delvecchio but managed to score a late equiliser with Walter Centeno. The six draws AEK Athens secured are a feat no other club has ever accomplished.
The team continued in the UEFA Cup and smashed Israeli champions Maccabi Haifa by achieving two of their biggest wins ever in European competitions. They first won in Athens 4-0 with goals by Grigoris Georgatos, Demis Nikolaidis, Milen Petkov and Thodoris Zagorakis and then 4-1 in Nicosia with two goals by Vasilis Lakis and two more by Kostas Katsouranis and Dimitris Nalitzis.

They drew 0-0 in Málaga but lost 0-1 in Athens thanks to a goal by Manu.
The season was also punctuated by the demolition of Nikos Goumas Stadium, home to AEK for over 70 years, and the assault of club president Makis Psomiadis and his bodyguards to the team captain Demis Nikolaidis.[5]

After seven years wearing AEK Athens' number 11 shirt during which he scored 125 goals in the Alpha Ethniki, and partly due to the club’s growing financial problems from mismanagement,[6] Demis Nikolaidis terminated his contract by mutual consent and signed for Atlético Madrid.[7] The transfers of Nikos Liberopoulos from Panathinaikos[8] and Giannis Okkas from P.A.O.K. promised to revitalise the club’s on-field success amid the growing financial problems.
Modest performances, though, were not enough as more off-field dramas unfolded. Unable to cope with the negativity from a large section of AEK Athens fans, Bajević resigned in 2004 during a season match against Iraklis and Ilie Dumitrescu was appointed as a caretaker manager.[9]
AEK contributed vitally to Greece's triumph in UEFA Euro 2004. Five out of the total 24 players of the Greek squad came from AEK Athens' squad (Thodoris Zagorakis, Vassilis Tsiartas, Michalis Kapsis, Kostas Katsouranis, Vassilis Lakis). Two more former AEK players were present though they had left the club at the time (Traianos Dellas and Demis Nikolaidis).
Dellas and Zagorakis were voted in the UEFA Team of the Tournament. Zagorakis, who captained Greece, was also voted MVP of the tournament.

2004–05 season
On the brink of bankruptcy, and losing most of its UEFA Euro 2004 stars and experienced players to other European clubs, AEK needed a miracle to prevent it from being relegated to the Greek amateur leagues. Though both Kostas Katsouranis[10] and Nikos Liberopoulos remained, Vassilis Borbokis, Grigoris Georgatos,[11] UEFA Euro 2004 MVP Thodoris Zagorakis,[12] Michalis Kapsis, Michalis Kasapis, Michel Kreek, Vassilis Lakis, Vassilis Tsiartas, and Giannis Okkas all left the club in the wake of the troubles.
In was then when Demis Nikolaidis persuaded a group of businessmen (including Nikos Notias, Petros Pappas, Takis Kannelopoulos and Gikas Goumas) to buy shares and invest money to the club and became the new club president with the help of all AEK fans who started mass protests organized by the hardcore fans Original 21. His primary task was to lead AEK Athens out of its precarious financial position. The first success was an arrangement through the Greek justice system to write off most of the massive debt that previous club administrators had amassed, and to repay any remaining public debts in manageable instalments. Securing the club’s existence in the Alpha Ethniki, Nikolaidis then began a program to rebuild AEK to its former glory. He appointed experienced former player Ilija Ivić as technical director of the club and brought back Fernando Santos as head coach.[13] The AEK Athens fans, emboldened by Nikolaidis’s efforts, followed suit by buying season ticket packages in record numbers (over 17,000). AEK Athens recruited mostly young Greek players led by Katsouranis and Liberopoulos to form a competitive team. Santos also brought two players from his former club Porto on loan, Paulo Assunção and Bruno Alves both of whom were integral during the season.
With the winter additions of Júlio César, Serbian international Vladimir Ivić and Ilias Kyriakidis AEK Athens came close to winning the 2004–05 Alpha Ethniki but a surprise loss to underdogs Ionikos cost them the title. Furthermore, a serious mistake by referee Kyros Vassaras made them lose the chance to compte in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.

In the Greek Cup AEK Athes reached the final for the seventh time in the last thirteen years surpassing PAS Giannina, Ethnikos Piraeus, Niki Volos and Agrotikos Asteras.
In the UEFA Cup first round AEK Athens were unfortunate enough to draw against Russian fourth placed side Zenit even though they were a seeded club. They managed to secure a 0-0 draw in Saint Petersburg but lost 0-1 in Athens due to an 89th-minute goal by Andrei Arshavin.

The Nikos Kostenoglou Era, Part I (2008)
Honours Won: —
Runner-up: Superleague Greece (2008)
2007–08 season, Part II
On 12 February 2008 AEK parted company with Lorenzo Serra Ferrer after a poor run of form and un-successful signings and replaced him with former player and then assistant manager Nikos Kostenoglou, on a caretaker basis, at the end of an indifferent season.
The team had an impressive run in the last ten games of the league, during which they had two 4-0 wins against Olympiacos and PAOK, finishing in first place.
Nevertheless, the team ultimately finished second due to a court case between Apollon Kalamaria and Olympiacos for the illegal usage of Roman Wallner in Apollon Kalamaria's 1-0 win earlier in the season. Olympiacos were awarded the three points in a court hearing, thus finishing two points ahead of AEK. AEK president Demis Nikolaidis and several other managers and chairmen have been angered with the court's decision stating that the Hellenic Football Federation knew about the usage of the illegal player prior to the game but didn't do anything about it.
The second place meant that the club had to compete in the league's play-offs but AEK Athens' captains, MVP performer Rivaldo and president Demis Nikolaidis did not want to compete as they considered themselves champions. Akis Zikos preferred to retire after the league's last game against Asteras Tripoli than compete in the play-offs. Nevertheless, the club's stakeholders insisted that the club had to compete and the ultimately did.

The Giorgos Donis Era (2008)
Honours Won: —
Runner-up: —
2008–09 season, Part I
Giorgos Donis, former head coach of 2006–07 Greek Cup winners Larissa, was appointed as head coach of AEK Athens.[29] There were big changes in the squad with the club spending almost €8M in signings including Swedish international Daniel Majstorović,[30] Nacho Scocco, Argentine international Sebastián Saja, Spanish international Juanfran, Greece's captain Angelos Basinas,[31] Greek international Sotiris Kyrgiakos[32] and Algerian international Rafik Djebbour and the simultaneous departure of all tree captains and club legends Akis Zikos, Traianos Dellas[33] and Nikos Liberopoulos combined with young starlet Sokratis Papastathopoulos' transfer to Genoa. On top of that Brazilian legend Rivaldo who was the new captain asked, and was ultimately given, a last minute transfer to Uzbeki side Bunyodkor.
The season started in the worst way possible as AEK Athens failed to surpass Omonia (0-1 in Athens, 2-2 in Nicosia) for the UEFA Cup's second qualifying round resulting in their elimination from European competitions, the earliest in their history.
The league campaign started very well due to the 2-1 derby win over rivals Panathinaikos thanks to goals by Edinho and Ismael Blanco in the opening game but a series of poor performances and results left AEK Athens in a difficult situation. Donis was eager to leave the club after drawing 3-3 against underdogs Thrasyvoulos despite having a 0-3 half-time lead, but president Demis Nikolaidis did not allow him to leave. Nevertheless, Nikolaidis left shortly after due to the continuous disappointing results, the heavy criticism he took from the fans and the press for the disbandment of last year's championship winning team and a lengthy clash with the club's hardcore supporters Original 21. The presidency was temporarily taken by Nikos Koulis and Takis Kanellopoulos. However, the series of disappointing results continued, bringing anger and insecure situations for everyone in the team. The first to be hit by this wave of disappointment and with the council of the team upset, was Donis, who was asked to leave the team after a 0-0 home draw against Panserraikos.

Runner-up: Greek Cup: 1 (2009)

![](../I/m/Ismael_Blanco_2009.jpg)
On November 21, 2008, Koulis and Kanellopoulos hired Dušan Bajević as head coach for the third time. However, after a while and because of the controversy surrounding Bajević's return to AEK Athens a rivalry sparked between him and Kanellopoulos resulting in the latter’s resign from the presidency.
Georgios Kintis became the team's new president shortly after but did not last long as on February 4, 2009 Nikos Thanopoulos was elected as number 41 president of AEK Athens.
During the winter transfer period Edson Ratinho and Greece's captain Angelos Basinas left the club. The only addition to the squad was Olivier N'Siabamfumu.
Bajevic brought some much-needed stability to the club, and performances on the pitch improved vastly towards the end of the season, culminating in AEK's progression to the Greek Cup final against Olympiacos. Although they took an early 2-0 lead, thanks to two goals by Ismael Blanco, and a 3-2 lead, thanks to a stoppage time goal by Nacho Scocco, the march ended in a 4-4 draw and the winner would be decided in a penalty shootout in which AEK Athens lost 14-15 due to three penalties misses by Daniel Majstorovic, Nikos Georgeas and Agustin Pelletieri.
AEK Athens finished fourth in the Greek Superleague, thus qualifying for the seasons play-offs.
In the play-offs they secured the second place just missing out the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round ticket. Instead AEK Athens would compete in the newly founded UEFA Europa League.

![](../I/m/Notias.jpg)
During the summer transfer period AEK Athens signed mainly player from the Greek league including Kostas Manolas, Greek international Grigoris Makos and Leonardo. They also signed naturalized Polish international Roger.[34]
The season started with a shocker due to the last minute 3 million Euros transfer of team captain Sotiris Kyrgiakos to Liverpool,[35] the 2-1 loss to Romanian fifth placed side Vaslui for the first lef of the UEFA Europa League play-off round and Dušan Bajević's altercation with the club's all-time highest paid transfer Rafik Djebbour which resulted to the latter not training or playing with the rest of the squad. Despite the difficulties AEK Athens won 3-0 in the second leg, thanks to goals by Gustavo Manduca and Nacho Scocco (x2), and qualified for the UEFA Europa League group stage.
In a group featuring Portuguese third placed side Benfica, English fifth placed side Everton, and Belarusian champions BATE, AEK Athens secured only a 1-0 victory against Benfica thanks to a header by Daniel Majstorovic and a gathered total of four points.
On top of that AEK Athens failed to progress from the Greek Cup fourth round as they lost 0-1 front to Beta Ethniki underdogs Thrasyvoulos.
In the Superleague AEK Athens failed to impress with their most memorable moment being a 2-1 away victory against rivals Olympiacos thanks to two goals scored by Nacho Scocco. They finished fourth and qualified for the Superleague play-offs.
In the Superleague play-offs AEK Athens secured the second place and a UEFA Europa League play-off round ticket by beating Olympiacos 2-1 thanks to goals by Kostas Manolas and Ismael Blanco.
Ismael Blanco was the season's top scorer for the club bagging 13 goals while Gustavo Manduca and Nacho Scocco were the top assist men with 5 assists each.

The transfer of Nacho Scocco to Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates brought 2.8 million Euros to AEK Athens yet combined with the departure of Argentine international Sebastián Saja and Míchel greatly depowered the squad. Furthermore, Papa Bouba Diop had to leave the team as his wife experienced complications during her pregnancy. To compensate for these departures AEK Athens signed former Iceland's captain Eiður Guðjohnsen,[40] José Carlos and Greek international Dimi.[41] Additionally Steve Beleck and Cala were signed on one-year-long loan deals. They also completed the last minute signing of Colombian international Fabián Vargas.[42]

2012–13 season, Part I
![](../I/m/Giorgios_Katidis.jpg)
Due to the growing financial problems the clubs was not allowed to participate in the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League as it failed to meet the requirement for a license. Furthermore, both of the club's captains, Traianos Dellas and Nikos Liberopoulos, decided to retire from professional football.
In the face of this crisis, AEK legend Thomas Mavros took over and appointed his former teammate and close friend Vangelis Vlachos as manager. Vasilis Tsiartas was appointed as director of football and Christos Kostis as the club's general captain.
The club's squad was severely weakened with the majority of last season's regular starters being sold (Viktor Klonaridis, Grigoris Makos and Leonardo) or released (Pantelis Kafes, Fabián Vargas, Nikos Georgeas, Kostas Manolas, Eiður Guðjohnsen and Nikos Karabelas).
Summer transfers were predominantly young Greek players. The most notable additions were Giorgos Katidis who had just captained Greece Under-19 to the final of the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, Emilio Furtado who was top scorer in the 2011–12 Football League and Miguel Ángel Cordero.
The club performed badly and was constantly in the relegation zone. As a result, and while the club was in the league's last position with just one point, Vlachos was sacked by Andreas Dimitrelos and was replaced by his assistant Manolis Papadopoulos. Mavros, who disagreed with the decision to replace the manager, decided to leave the club.

The club lost to Atromitos in the last fixture and was therefore relegated to Football League 2 on 21 April 2013.
ETExtra time taken into account.
2013-14 Season
Businessman Dimitris Melissanidis became club owner at the summer of 2013 after the club had been relegated to the third tier of Greek Football. The new owner presented the project of a new stadium for the club Hagia Sophia Stadium. AEK easily won promotion from Football League 2 with only one loss to their record. However the team failed to win the Football League 2 Cup after being knocked out by Agrotikos Asteras 2-0 in extra time at the semi-finals.
2014-15 Season
In the 2014 Summer Transfer Window the team made various signings from Superleague teams with the ones standing out being youngster Petros Mantalos from Xanthi, Christos Aravidis from Panionios and Helder Barbosa from Braga. The team powered through the league being unbeaten up until the playoff phase. The highlight of the season being the Quarter-Final of the Greek Cup against Olympiacos which AEK ultimately lost 4-1(agg) by a 90th-minute goal in the second leg at OAKA. The match was abandoned after fans attacked Olympiacos players shortly after the goal with the Olympiacos manager and players making offensive gestures at the AEK fans after the hosts protested that the goal was a handball. At the Football League playoffs the team lost their consistency and lost their unbeatable streak but nevertheless were promoted to the Greek Superleague for the 2015-16 Season.
The Gus Poyet Era (2015-2016)
Main Article:
On October 30, 2015, Gus Poyet agreed a contract of 8 months + 2 years (if agreed) after the departure of Traianos Dellas on October 20, 2015 following a heavy loss (4-0) by Olympiacos FC. The team experienced radical changes over the summer. The major signings were: Andre Simoes from Moreirense, Rodrigo Galo Brito, Alain Baroja on a one-season loan with the option to buy at the end of it, from Caracas FC, Ronald Vargas, Dídac Vilà and Diego Buonanotte who hundreds of AEK fans greeted at the airport. The transfers also included the return of Rafik Djebbour after 4 years. The team, under Traianos Dellas won most friendlies and drew with Sevilla FC and Inter Milan FC. The team won its first game back in the Greek Superleague 3-0 against Platanias. But, the team lost against PAOK FC at Toumba Stadium (2-1) and against Olympiacos FC away (4-0) and drew with Panathinaikos FC away (0-0). Despite those bad results in these derbies the team won almost every other match including a fierce 5-1 win against Iraklis FC. Gus Poyet managed to change the atmosphere in the club and despite having 1 point in his first 2 games (0-0 draw with Panathinaikos,0-1 loss to Asteras Tripolis at home) lead the club to an unbeaten streak spanning from the start of 2016 to February of 2016. The team picked up an important 1-0 win against PAOK through a Ronald Vargas goal. The same man scored in the other 2 derbies in February, scoring against Olympiacos FC ending their unbeaten streak in the league, as well as scoring against Pananthinaikos through a well-taken Free Kick. AEK also enjoyed a good Greek Cup campaign reaching the semi-final before Gus Poyet was sacked on 19 April 2016 due to conflicts with club president Dimitris Melissanidis mainly focusing the club's ambitions and budget.
Kostas Manolas was appointed as interim head coach and managed AEK until the end of the season, qualifying for the Greek Cup final agaist Olympiacos FC. Kostas Manolas and his men beat Olympiacos FC 2-1 for the second time within 3 months to lift AEK's 15th Greek Cup Title. The same night, celebrations were organised by fans at Nea Filadelfeia who celebrated with the players and staff. At the Superleague Playoffs the team didn't capitalise on their form in the Greek Cup, and facing the fatigue that was build up, only managed a 3rd place finish thus qualifying for the 2016-17 UEFA Europa League in the 3rd qualifying round.
The Temur Ketsbaia Era (2016)
During the summer of 2016, AEK appointed Temur Ketsbaia an ex-AEK Athens player and former Olympiacos FC manager. This season marked the club's return to European Competitions, facing AS Saint-Etienne in the 3rd qualifying round of the 2016-17 UEFA Europa League. The club signed experienced attacker Hugo Almeida as well as Patito Rodríguez, experienced english center-back Joleon Lescott, youngster goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas, Greek Internationals Lazaros Christodoulopoulos and Tasos Bakasetas and ex-Barcelona player Dmytro Chygrynskiy. Also the club let go of Helder Barbosa a star player in their previous campaign.The team narrowly lost 1-0 (agg.) to AS Saint-Etienne and started the season off well with a 4-1 win over Xanthi with Hugo Almeida scoring a wondergoal. AEK's form after this match was poor and after another embarrassing loss away to Olympiacos FC Temur Ketsbaia was sacked and replaced with José Morais.

Kit
Crest and Colours
![](../I/m/Flag_of_the_Greek_Orthodox_Church.svg.png)
![](../I/m/Palaiologos-Dynasty-Eagle.svg.png)
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, and shirt, 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.
