The 2008–09 season is Panathinaikos' 50th consecutive season in the Super League Greece. They have qualified for the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round for the 2008 - 09 season. The 2007 - 08 season ended with Jose Peseiro's removal from the team's bench.[1] After a year's absence they will return to Athens Olympic Stadium for the season.[2] On 27 May 2008 after two hours of conversations between Panathinaikos chairmen, it was decided that Nikos Pateras would take over as Panathinaikos president.[3] On 13 June 2008 Panathinaikos announced that the new team coach will be Henk ten Cate for the next two years.[4]
