AEK Athens continued this season with one of their "Patriarchs", Tryfon Tzanetis in the technical leadership, who was officially hired in January with the task of revitalizing the team.

However, his predecessor, Lukas Aurednik, remained in the team and alongside Christos Ribas formed a coaching triumvirate with Tzanetis apparently having the first say, but Auretnik maintaining the tactical support and the acceptance of the vast majority of the fans.

In the tension that followed, the referee showed Anastasiadis a red card and the refusal of the latter to come out of the pitch resulted in the game being awarded to Panathinaikos and AEK being zeroed.

A scuffle between players followed on the pitch and after several incidents the referee called it off and it was repeated on 14 June, when AEK was indifferent and mathematically out of the title.

[2] In the rest of the season, the team briought mediocre results, losing in both matches to the then strong Panionios, while they achieved a 4–1 victory over Olympiacos.

The 27 goals scored by Kostas Nestoridis, who emerged again as the top scorer of the league, did not manage to give AEK anything better than fourth place.
