AEK started to weaken competitively, while there were still in the midst of administrative crisis. In the summer of 2009, Sotirios Kyrgiakos left for Liverpool, while Edinho, Macho, Hetemaj and Pliatsikas departed as well. The big competitive problem of the club was Dušan Bajević, who had bad relations with many of his players and recommended to the management a series of failed signings. Among the players who came, Sanel Jahić, Carlos Araujo, Grigoris Makos, Roger Guerreiro, Leonardo and Nikolaos Karabelas stood out. The club sold a total of 17,350 season tickets.
For the qualifiers of the Europa League, AEK faced the Romanian Vaslui. On 20 August at the Municipal Vaslui, AEK started by controlling the tempo, but did not dominate and ended the half trailing with 1–0. Afterwards they increased their tempo and equalized, but the issues in their transition cost them, as Vaslui scored in the final minutes to make the final 2–1. In the second leg at the Olympic Stadium the Romanians played defensively in order to keep the qualifying score, but when AEK opened the score in the second half, the visitors were forced to stop defending massively and play out in front. From that moment on, the task of Ignacio Scocco was easy, who with 2 beautiful goals formed the emphatic 3–0, giving AEK the ticket to the group stage, which ensured the necessary financial income for the club to keep up for the season. There, AEK were placed in the Group I, with Benfica, Everton and BATE Borisov, where they failed to advance to the continuation of the tournament, finishing third with a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses.
AEK faltered competitively throughout the season, but they short of saved things up in the second round. The only notable moments during the championship were the two wins at Toumba Stadium and Karaiskakis Stadium in matches that were indifferent for the team. In the cup, AEK experienced yet another disgraceful elimination, this time by Thrasyvoulos with 1–0. The end of the regular season found AEK in fourth place, far behind their competitors.
In the play-offs, AEK were out of first place from early on and just managed to put Olympiacos out of the European competintions in the last matchday, while they also moved up one place in the overall standings, finishing third. The players who managed to stood out in the season were the Argentines, Blanco, Scocco and Saja, as well as Majstorović, Kafes and Manduca.[1]
