The 2008–09 season was the 85th season in the existence of AEK Athens F.C. and the 50th consecutive season in the top flight of Greek football. They competed in the Super League, the Greek Cup and the UEFA Cup. The season began on 14 August 2008 and finished on 31 May 2009.

Overview

After the end of an indifferent season, AEK Athens initially finished in first place in the league, but after the court case between Apollon Kalamarias and Olympiacos for the illegal use of a player in the 1-0 Apollon Kalamarias win earlier in the season, Olympiacos were awarded the 3 points in a court hearing, thus finishing 2 points ahead of AEK.^[1] AEK then finished 2nd in the play-offs which found them qualify for the UEFA Cup.

The club sold 18,200 season tickets. The new season started nervously, since the team was constantly underperforming during friendly matches. The apparent nervousness reached a new high, when the team was defeated at home by underdogs Omonia at the first leg of the Second qualifying round of the UEFA Cup, followed by the chairman Demis Nikolaidis' resignation announcement for the end of the season and Rivaldo's sudden intention to leave the club in order to join FC Bunyodkor from Uzbekistan. AEK were eventually eliminated from the UEFA Cup. Despite the disappointment, the team responded surprisingly well and put an assertive performance against fierce rivals Panathinaikos by beating them 2-1 at home in the first matchday, but poor performances and results from then on left AEK in a difficult situation. Head coach Giorgos Donis was eager to leave the club, but president Demis Nikolaidis did not allow him to leave. Nevertheless, Nikolaidis left due to these disappointing results and after a controversy with the club's ultras, Original 21,^[2] leaving the presidency to members of the D.C., Nikos Koulis and Takis Kanellopoulos.^[3]

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 the coach Giorgos Donis, who was asked to leave the team.^[4] On November 21, 2008, AEK hired Dušan Bajević as head coach for the third time.^[5]

On 2 May 2009, AEK participated in the Greek Cup final at Athens Olympic Stadium in an effort to obtain the Greek Cup title for 14th time. However the result did not go in their favour after losing 14-15 on penalties vs their arch rival Olympiacos.
