AEK Athens F.C. competed for the 37th consecutive season in the Greek top flight and 73rd year in existence as a football club. They competed in the Alpha Ethniki, the Greek Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. The season begun at 20 August 1995 and finished at 29 May 1996.

Overwiew[]

In the summer of 1995, the new major shareholder and president of the team was Michalis Trochanas. In collaboration with Dušan Bajević, he maintained the already very good existing roster and strengthened it with Batista, who returned from Olympiacos, Maladenis and Pavlopoulos. AEK had a very good player material and this was largely due to the fact that many players who were already in the team were having one of the best seasons of their careers. Dušan Bajević managed to fit all the stars of this team in the starting eleven and builded a team that in their good day seemed capable of "destroying" any domestic opponent. AEK played incredible football scoring 87 goals in 34 matches but finished second, behind Panathinaikos, which was much less spectacular, but proved to be slightly more substantial. The victory of Panathinaikos in the match of the second round in Olympic Stadium in April 1996 played a big role in the outcome of the championship.

Admittedly, AEK lost much of its self-concentration as a team during the second round, due to the Bajević issue. The journalistic information from Olympiacos' reports who insist that he had agreed with Sokratis Kokkalis for his move to Olympiacos on the coming summer. Initially those rumors sounded like a joke on the side of AEK, however, the more the Serbian-Greek coach did not deny them, the greater the anxiety and insecurity in AEK, in which Bajević was then worshiped as a football god and it was logical that this whole story had its impact on the competitive part. At the same time, the eccentric announcements of the idiosyncratic Michalis Trochanas also created big problems. So AEK finally lost the championship, but the football they played had remained in the history not only of the club, but of Greek football in general.[1]
