In the summer of 1993, the administration of Karras-Melissanidis, in collaboration with the coach, Dušan Bajević, decided to make a small renewal in the roster, even though the team won the championship of the previous season.
So the older "veterans" Minou, Vasilopoulos, Karagiozopoulos, Papaioannou and Georgiadis left the club and the younger and talented Kasapis, Borbokis, Vlachos and Vasilis Karagiannis came in, while it was also decided that the "young" Atmatsidis, Tsiartas and Kopitsis, that were acquired in the previous season, would have a more active role within the team.
In the rematch of Nikos Goumas Stadium, AEK were not bold and quickly found themselves back in the score with a goal by Djorkaeff, but managed to equalize early enough with Slišković, but without becoming particularly threatening.
Arsène Wenger, who in the previous season had been eliminated by Olympiacos with two draws, admitted that AEK was a more technical team than the red and whites, but with the difference that the latter had played stronger in the match between them.
In the institution of the cup, AEK initially easily overcame the obstacles of Paniliakos and Asteras Ambelokipoi and reached the quarter-finals of the competition where they faced AEL.
The best players of the team for this period were Alexis Alexandris, Toni Savevski, Refik Šabanadžović, Stelios Manolas, Michalis Kasapis and Vasilis Dimitriadis.
