After the departure of Loukas Barlos at the end of the previous season, AEK Athens entered in a strange period, which would be marked by administrative changes and successive changes of managers on their bench. The administrative wheel of the club for the season was taken over by the sports goods businessman, Andreas Zafiropoulos. Bajević and Vladić had already left the roster of the team. The new administration proceeded with the renewal of the roster with the addition of Karagiozopoulos from Veria, the promising young striker of Kastoria, Dintsikos, Ballis from Aris, the Yugoslav Radonjić, as the replacement of Bajević and the well-known Bulgarian international, Hristo Bonev, who however, suffered from injuries. Former German international goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski took over at the yellow-black bench. The team did not compete in any European competition.
The championship did not start well at all for the team, as it took the team 5 games to achieve their first victory and in the first 10 matches they counted only 3 wins, a statistic that was recorded as one of the worst starts in their history. The German coach due to the bad results was fired at the end of the first round, 2 days after a defeat against Kastoria. His place was taken by Zlatko Čajkovski, who had won the 1978 double and was beloved by the fans. AEK recovered competitively, but not at an extent to claim any title.
In the Greek Cup, AEK were drawn against PAOK at the round of 16 and were eliminated for second consecutive year, by the club of Thessaloniki. AEK finished the league at 4th place, 5 points behind the champion Olympiacos and managed to secure a spot in next season's European competitions. Top scorer for AEK in the league was again Thomas Mavros with 17 goals. In the few positives of the year, was the transition of the young Stelios Manolas from the position of right back to that of the center back, a position in which he would culminate in the future years with both AEK and the national team.[1]
