PAOK F.C. (Greek: ΠΑΕ ΠΑΟΚ, Greek pronunciation: [paˈe ˈpaok]), short for Panthessalonikios Athlitikos Omilos Konstantinoupoliton (Greek: Πανθεσσαλονίκειος Αθλητικός Όμιλος Κωνσταντινουπολιτών, transliterated Pan-Thessaloniki Athletic Club of Constantinopolitans),^[4] and commonly known as PAOK (Greek: ΠΑΟΚ, pronounced [ˈpaok]), is a professional Greek football club, a part of AC PAOK, based in Thessaloniki, Greece. Established on 20 April 1926 by Greek Constantinopolitans who fled to Thessaloniki from the city of Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) in the wake of the Greco-Turkish War, they play their home games at Toumba Stadium, with a capacity of 28,803 seats. Their name, along with the club’s emblem, the Byzantine-style double-headed eagle with retracted wings that was adopted three years after the establishment of the club, honours the memory of the people and places (mostly the city of Constantinople) that once belonged to the Byzantine Empire and were invaded and conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1453.

PAOK currently plays in the top-flight Superleague Greece, which they have won twice (1975–76 and 1984–85). They have won also five times the Greek Football Cup (in 1971–72, 1973–74, 2000–01, 2002–03 and 2016-17 seasons). With a 14th-place finish (1995–96) being the worst position ever achieved, the team has never been relegated to a lower national division since its establishment in 1926, a feat achieved only by rivals Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.

The team has appeared several times in the UEFA Europa League competition. Their best European performance was in the 1973–74 season, when they reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.^[5] In addition to this, it is the only Greek team that has more wins than losses in all its European history (60 wins, 50 draws and 54 defeats, as of September 29, 2016); the 0–7 away win^[6] over Locomotive Tbilisi on 16 September 1999 in the UEFA Cup is the largest ever achieved^[7] by a Greek club in all European competitions.^[8]

History

Foundation and the early years (1926–1953)

PAOK FC is the oldest division of PAOK Sports Club, the successor of Hermes Sports Club (Greek: Ερμής), which was formed in 1877 by the Greek community of Pera, a district of Istanbul (then Constantinople).^[9]

The football club was founded in 1926.^[10] It was created by Constantinopolitans who fled to Thessaloniki after the Greek defeat in the Greco-Turkish War, although it was open to every citizen of Thessaloniki, leading to a minor rivalry with AEK Thessaloniki, the other Constantinopolitan team of the city, in which played only refugees. The original logo of PAOK was a horseshoe and a four-leaf clover.^[11]

The two teams were merged in 1929, adopting the still-current two-headed eagle symbol, also in 1929. The eagle symbolizes the origins of the club in the former Byzantine capital, Constantinople, and the legacy of the Greek refugees from the Ottoman Empire.^[11]

The first professional contract was signed by the club on 5 September 1928. The contract stipulated that the French footballer Raymond Etienne – of Jewish descent from Pera Club – would be paid 4,000 drachmas per month. The contract was signed by Dr. Meletiou, the PAOK chairman, and Mr. Sakellaropoulos, the Hon. Secretary.^[12]

Era of distinction (1955–1985): the legend of Koudas

File:Koudasg.jpg

Giorgos Koudas, a powerful attacking midfielder and emblematic captain of PAOK, played his entire career in the club.

In the 1950s, the club won the Thessaloniki Championship for four successive seasons. In 1959, their new Toumba Stadium opened.^[13]

Giorgos Koudas, the great star of the team made his first appearance in 1963. With him, PAOK won their first national titles, the Greek Football Cup, in 1972 and 1974.^[14]

They won also for the first time the Greek Championship in 1975–76, a feat they would repeat in 1984–85.^[15]

At the European level, the club made its best ever performance after reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1973–74, where they were knocked out by Milan. PAOK also made a memorable appearance against German giants Bayern Munich in the 1983–84 UEFA Cup, where it was knocked out on penalties after two goalless draws.^[16]^[17]

1985–2000: decline

Since the last championship of 1985, a period of decline affected the club. In 1992, they lost in the Greek Cup final to Olympiacos.^[14]

In 1996, Thomas Voulinos handed over the reins of the club to Giorgos Batatoudis. Numerous transfers of well-known players such as Percy Olivares, Zisis Vryzas, Spiros Marangos and Kostas Frantzeskos took place under the new administration. In 1997, having served its five-year ban, PAOK qualified for the UEFA Cup under coach Angelos Anastasiadis. The club's reappearance at European level was marked by a victory and qualification over Arsenal.^[18]

The new team, however, did not prove equally successful in the domestic league, again finishing fourth in 1997–98. The club's continuing inability to break the dominance of the "big three" in the league resulted in several manager changes over the following three years. By the end of the 1997–98 season, Anastasiadis was sacked and Oleh Blokhin reprised his position as PAOK's manager after five years. Blokhin himself only stayed for a few months, and was again replaced by Anastasiadis in late 1998. He stayed only until February 1999, and was again replaced in favour of Arie Haan, who, like Blokhin, returned after a four-year gap. By December 1999, Haan was himself sacked, to be replaced by Dušan Bajević. ^{[citation needed]}

2001–2007: return to trophies

File:Anastasiadis.jpg

Angelos Anastasiadis after the 2002-03 Greek Cup final

In 2001, the club's first success in many years came when they won the 2000–01 Greek Cup final over Olympiacos, 4–2.^[14] In 2003, they won the Greek Cup again after defeating Aris 1–0.^[14]

The 2003–04 season was an unexpected success. Batatoudis was no longer the major shareholder, and under the management of Anastasiadis, PAOK managed to finish third in the league and to secure participation in the qualifying rounds of the following year's UEFA Champions League. Unfortunately, the team failed to qualify for the group stages, as they were knocked out by Maccabi Tel Aviv in the third qualifying round.^{[citation needed]}

Rolf Fringer was appointed as new coach in September 2004, replacing Aggelos Anastasiadis, but after a few games, Fringer was replaced by Nikos Karageorgiou, who led the club to a fifth-place finish in May 2005 and a subsequent 2005–06 UEFA Cup qualification.^{[citation needed]}

The 2005–06 season, despite starting with positive omens, proved to be turbulent.^[19] In addition to the return of former captain Theodoros Zagorakis in the summer of 2005 from Bologna, key players like Marcin Mięciel, Fatih Akyel and Shikabala were also acquired.^[20]

By the end of May 2006, the club's dramatic situation started to emerge, with players openly declaring they have been unpaid for months, plus a shocking decision by UEFA to ban the club from participating in the upcoming UEFA Cup,^[21] brought the club one step from complete ruin, with the organized fanbase launching an all-out war against Giannis Goumenos during the summer of 2006,^[22] going as far as to occupy the club's offices in Toumba stadium for a handful of days. The situation was ever worsening for Goumenos, after many failed deals with possible investors,^[23] constant allegations of embezzlement,^[24] and especially his decision to sell star-player Dimitris Salpingidis to Panathinaikos.^[25]

The club appointed Momčilo Vukotić as coach in October 2006, replacing Dumitrescu, who had earlier resigned.^[26]

The Zagorakis plan (2007–2010)

In the summer of 2007, Theodoros Zagorakis assumed presidency of the club, replacing the Vezyrtzis-Oikonomidis administration and thus ushered in a new era. One of the new management's first actions was to lay down a three-year plan: the first year priority would be to take action the club's debts, beginning in 2007–08, the second would be to qualify for the UEFA Cup again, and the third would be to become a major league title contender once again.^{[citation needed]}

The plan's first season saw the club eliminated from the Greek Cup by second division club Thrasyvoulos. The early replacement of coach Giorgos Paraschos by the well-known established manager Fernando Santos did little to prevent a ninth-place finish in the league, the worst performance by the club in 11 years.^{[citation needed]}

The club's finances, however, gradually improved, and – thanks to the continuing massive support from fans in the form of season tickets,^[27] as well as many new sponsorship deals – the summer of 2008 saw the transfers of widely known internationals like Pablo Contreras,^[28] Zlatan Muslimović^[29] and Pablo García.^[30]

In January 2009, Zagorakis announced the club's intention of building a new training facility complex in the Nea Mesimvria area of Thessaloniki, owned by the club. The administration had already acquired land from the municipality of Agios Athanasios in the previous summer.^[31]

The end of the 2008–09 season found PAOK in second place, eight points behind champions Olympiacos, the best place the club had taken since 1985. This success, however, was short-lived, as the club failed to retain their place in the recently introduced league playoffs, finishing fourth and missing out on the second Champions League berth to Panathinaikos. Nevertheless, PAOK secured a spot in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League's third qualifying round.

The 2009–10 season saw the transfer of former Racing de Santander player Vitolo, experienced defender Bruno Cirillo and Vasilios Koutsianikoulis, the club's costliest transfer in many years. Key players' contracts, like Olivier Sorlin and Vieirinha, were also renewed.^{[citation needed]}

The years after Fernando Santos (2010–12)

The 2010 league playoff success was swiftly followed by Fernando Santos' announcement of his decision to depart, having concluded his three-year contract as head coach.^[32] It was eventually decided in mid-June that Mario Beretta would be his successor.^[33]

As the squad made several awful appearances in its pre-season friendly matches (notably losing to Kickers Offenbach 3–1^[34]), alarming fans and management alike, Theodoros Zagorakis finally decided to fire Beretta and his staff on 22 July, just one week prior to the club's away match in Amsterdam. Beretta was quickly replaced with Pavlos Dermitzakis, veteran PAOK player and Zagorakis' initial choice before reverting to Beretta.^[35] Beretta also became the shortest-lived PAOK coach ever, sitting on the bench for just 38 days.^[36]

With Dermitzakis at the helm, PAOK faced Ajax and was ultimately eliminated on the away goals rule, managing a 1–1^[37] draw in Amsterdam and a thrilling 3–3^[38] draw in Thessaloniki. Entering the UEFA Europa League playoff round, PAOK were drawn against Fenerbahçe, also eliminated on the Champions League third qualifying round. This time, PAOK fared much better and after winning the home game 1–0^[39] in Thessaloniki, secured a memorable 1–1 draw.^[40]

Unfortunately, such excellent performances did not continue in the first fixtures of the Greek league. Unsuccessful results included a 0–1 home loss to Thessaloniki rivals Aris.^[41]

Another defeat against Panathinaikos under Dermitzakis led to his removal on 17 October.^[42] His assistant, Makis Chavos, replaced him as caretaker coach. At first, fans were asking for a quick replace of Chavos by a European-range coach, but after a streak of four wins in the Greek Superleague and a 1–0^[43] home win over Villarreal in the Europa League group stage, it was decided he would remain.

In 2010–11, PAOK reached the knockout phase in the Europa League, losing 2–1 on aggregate to CSKA Moscow.^[44] In the Superleague Greece, PAOK finished fourth in the regular season and secured a place in the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League third qualifying round by finishing second in the playoff round.

The PAOK board then appointed the experienced Romanian László Bölöni as the club's new head coach.^[45] Under the leadership of Bölöni, PAOK passed the UEFA Europa League playoff round and entered the group stage, despite the many injured players the club had. On 30 November 2011, PAOK achieved a historic victory^[46] against English club Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, winning 2–1. With this victory, the club qualified for the Europa League round of 32 for the second consecutive year. There they faced Udinese. After a 0–0 draw away in Udine, however, they suffered a 0–3 loss at Toumba Stadium.

Ivan Savvidis era (2012–present)

In the summer of 2012, and after several months of negotiations, Ivan Savvidis became the new major shareholder of PAOK. The PAOK board appointed the Greek coach Giorgos Donis in the summer of 2012.^{[citation needed]}

PAOK entered the 2012–13 Europa League third qualification round, and with a 0–2 away and 4–1 home win over Bnei Yehuda, qualified for the play-off round, where faced Rapid Wien but were eliminated after 2–1 and 3–0 home and away defeats, respectively. PAOK finished the season in second place during the regular period, qualifying for the Superleague playoffs. Giorgos Donis was replaced by technical director and former player Georgios Georgiadis, who was appointed caretaker manager. PAOK managed to win qualification for the third qualifying round of the Champions League in the playoffs after a last game win against PAS Giannina.

In June 2013, PAOK appointed Huub Stevens as their new coach, but he was dismissed in March 2014 after achieving poor results.^[47]

In 2014, the team reached the 2013–14 Greek Cup final, but lost to Panathinaikos.^[48]

In 2015, club owner Ivan Savvidis paid all of the club's debts to the Greek government, an amount that totalled at €10,886,811.^[49] In May, PAOK hired Frank Arnesen as the new club's technical director (sports director). On 18 June 2015, Igor Tudor was hired as the new manager of the club, signing a three-year contract.^[50] After the dismissal of coach Igor Tudor, after continuing unsuccessful results, undertook the coach Vladimir Ivic until the end of the season and managed to finish first in the Greek playoffs after starting handicap 2 points against Panathinaikos and AEK Athens FC.

During the 2016-17 season, he was credited with the qualification of PAOK for the first knockout round of the UEFA Europa League, for the first time since the 2013-14 season. The team won also the Greek Cup after winning AEK at the 2016-17 Greek Football Cup final.

Facilities

Stadium

File:Syntrivani Stadium.jpg

Syntrivani Stadium

Syntrivani Stadium (Greek: Γήπεδο Συντριβανίου) was the first PAOK's home ground. The ground where the Syntrivani Stadium would be built became a cause for yet another conflict between PAOK and AEK Thessaloniki in 1928. It was situated near the Children’s Asylum, right where the Theological School of Aristotle University is based today. Securing this specific ground had turned into an attempt to lure more fans, although the football team of AEK had already ceased to exist since autum 1927. The ground was not that vast in order to accommodate a football field and was given eventually to AEK Thessaloniki in order to stage their athletics sections. On 25 June 1928, AEK Thessaloniki held the inauguration ceremony of the ground. After AEK got absorbed by PAOK in March 1929, both clubs joined forces in an effort to develop the ground.^[51]

Toumba Stadium (Greek: Στάδιο Τούμπας), the current home ground, is property of amateur P.A.O.K. club. It is a family donation of Ioannis Dedeoglou, as was later the plot to be built the PAOK Sports Arena. Construction on the stadium began in 1958 and concluded in 1959. Patrons of the project were the Ministry of Culture and Sport (Greece) (paid the amount of 1,100,000 drachmas) and the Hellenic National Defence General Staff (which owned the space). Contributed decisively to expropriate the space Toumba Stadium, the then defense minister Georgios Themelis for the expropriation of the area of Toumba Stadium during the government of Constantine Karamanlis. Tha stadium opened on 6th September 1959 in presence of Prime Minister Karamanlis. The stadium's official name is simply "PAOK Stadium", however it is commonly referred to as "Toumba" after the name of the district in which it is located.^[52]

Training ground

The PAOK Sports Center is the current training ground of PAOK, located in Nea Mesimvria area.^[53]

Supporters

File:4.10.99.Tempi.jpg

Monument at the Vale of Tempe

PAOK has one of the largest fan base across Greece and majority of them are emigrants and refuges from Minor Asia from the Greco–Turkish war (1919–1922). PAOK has the largest support then any other Greek club ^{[citation needed]} from Greek refugees in countries around the world to such an extent that they have created and maintained firms in countries such as Germany, Sweden, Cyprus, Australia , the United States and Canada.

Gate 4 is where the largest PAOK supporters clubs assemble. They support all clubs within the PAOK Sports Society, wearing the club's colors and symbols and maintaining firms in every corner of Greece, first one officially created in 1963 at Neapoli Thessaloniki. Their members are known to be fanatic supporters of their team famous around the world for their great pyroshows and vocal support for their team. After a match against PAOK, Diego Maradona commented that would play for the club even for free because of its fans' mentality and passion, with Toumpa Stadium earning its moniker as "black hell" for the hostility to opposing teams.^[54]

The group as a whole maintains a strong friendship with the supporters of Serbian club Partizan, the Grobari. There have been many occasions where fans from both clubs travel to watch each other's games. Their friendship is so strong that Serbian fans chanted in the Greek language in a basketball match against Olympiacos, PAOK's greatest rival. PAOK fans also have good relations with the fans of OFI Crete, a friendship that has been build mainly around their sharing of the same club colours and as well as their mutual hatred of Panathinaikos and Olympiacos. The friendship is supported by an annual exchange of tickets and a typically strong atmosphere in their matches.^[54] They also maintain good relations with fans of Panionios.^[55]

In the night of 4 October 1999 a road accident took place in the Vale of Tempe, Thessaly with many fans of the team killed. An annual ceremony takes place since then.^[56]

Rivalries

The rivalry between Olympiacos and PAOK, is long-standing, emerging in the 1960s, when the infamous case of Giorgos Koudas' transfer from PAOK to Olympiacos occurred.^[57] The rivalry is also fueled by the rivalry that exists between Athens and Thessaloniki.

A long-time rivalry also exists between PAOK and local rivals Aris,^[58] which has culminated in two memorable Greek Cup finals between them, each club winning one. On an annual basis, fierce derbies are contested for the Greek league, sometimes accompanied by violent outbreaks on and off the pitch.

Panathinaikos and AEK Athens are also considered major rivals due to the bitter rivalry of citizens between Thessaloniki of Macedonia and Athens.^[59]

Badge and team colours

File:Paokflag2.png

Flag used by PAOK FC

The team's traditional colours are black, as sadness for the Asia Minor Catastrophe of 1922 and the end of the Greek presence in Anatolia, and white as hope for recovery. The double-headed eagle was chosen as symbol of the club in 1929. Unlike other Byzantine-style eagles, the wings of the eagle are mournfully closed.^[60] Under the leadership of Ivan Savvidis a gold stripe was added to the crest, as a symbol of glory and renaissance of the club. The new crest was designed by "Beetroot Group Design", headquartered in Thessaloniki.^[61]
