Overview

Perspective

In the summer of 1984, Zafiropoulos returned to the spotlight of the administrative activities of the club and took over the presidency. The team continued to be in a state of competitive change. Petros Ravousis, one of the team's pillars for 12 years, left and continued at Levadiakos and Takis Nikoloudis to Apollon Kalamarias, since the previous December. AEK were strengthened with the Swedish striker, Håkan Sandberg and the Czech midfielder, František Štambachr, while from the Greek market,they acquired Nikos Pias, Theologis Papadopoulos, Andreas Voitsidis and Makis Chatzis. Zafiropoulos hired Václav Halama, as the new manager, with a spells at the benches of Austria Vien and Munich 1860. The Czech arrived with great ambition, while he was presented as a coach that controlled the locker rooms, however, these expectations were shortly refuted.

AEK did not start well, even though they showed elements of a strongly offensive team on the pitch. In the first 10 games, the team achieved 4 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat, while away from home they managed to win only once.

In first round of the Cup, AEK were drawn to play against Lamia away from home. At the "dry" stadium of Lamia, the team did not treat the match with seriousness and at the 20th minute were left behind with a goal by Mantzikos. In the remaining minutes the players of AEK did not manage to do anything resulting in of the most shameful and unexpected eliminations in the history of the institution.

The negative results of the team led to intense disapproval from the fans. Halama, who had lost control of the locker rooms and not being able to handle the whole situation decided to resign from the club. Thus, after the 10th matchday Zafiropoulos proceeded to replace him with the former coach of Aris, Antonis Georgiadis. The club made changes to their roster, as well. In winter transfer window, Štambachr left for Apollon Athens, due to the fact that he occupied a foreigner's position, Stergioudas moved to PAOK, while Paraprastanitis and Kottis signed for Egaleo. On the other hand, the president of the yellow-blacks performed a great transfer, as he signed the Hungarian international Márton Esterházy from Honvéd.

Esterházy quickly proved his value, as alongside Thomas Mavros and Håkan Sandberg composed a "magic" triplet in the team's attack. The team played very offensive football, while Mavros finished as the league's top scorer, with 27 goals and alongside Sandberg scored the 42 of the total 58 goals of the team. Nevertheless, despite AEK finishing the league with only 3 defeats, all of them away from home, they remained at third place, equaling the second Panathinaikos, 3 points behind PAOK.[1]
