After a few weeks, Dragan Šakota took over as the team's new head coach,[3] and notable new players came to AEK, such as Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Malik Hairston, and others.[4] Another important change of the club for the season, was the change of the club's owner. Makis Angelopoulos became the club's new owner.[5] At the end of the season, AEK finished in 5th place in the Greek Basket League's regular season, and was defeated by Aris in the Greek Basket League's playoffs.
