In the summer of 2019, after it had quickly become clear that Manolo Jiménez would not continue on the team's bench, AEK turned to the Iberian market for the position of coach, willing to present a different image on the pitch.

[1] Transfers included the return of Ognjen Vranješ, the signing of 4 Portuguese, Paulinho, David Simão, Francisco Geraldes and Nélson Oliveira, while Daniele Verde 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.

The team started their competitive obligations in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League, facing Universitatea Craiova.

The entrance of Livaja on the pitch changed everything with the Croatian forward achieving a goal and an assist forming the final 0–2, which almost sealed the qualification.

In the empty Olympic Stadium, due to the punishment of AEK for the incidents of the previous season,[2] the rematch took place that everyone expected to be a walk for the yellow-blacks.

The crushing failure in the match combined with the second consecutive home defeat three days later at the hands of Xanthi, resulted in the sacking of not only Miguel Cardoso and his staff, but of the technical director, Nikos Liberopoulos, as well.

[5] The new technical director, Ilija Ivić brought in well-known coach, Massimo Carrera, who had previously success with Spartak Moscow.

[7] During that period the crisis COVID-19 pandemic began, and the banning measures of all sporting activities slow down the course of AEK and essentially put the completion of the season in uncertainty.

Until the end, the psychologically unprepared AEK were unable to seriously threaten the red and whites and were finally defeated with 0–1 by an extremely inadequate Olympiacos.
