2011–12 season, Part II
On 6 October 2011 Nikos Kostenoglou agreed on a one and a half year deal with AEK Athens.
The club performed better under Kostenoglou but was plagued by injuries, most notably Eiður Guðjohnsen's who was out for six months. Subsequently, youngsters such as Viktor Klonaridis, Mavroudis Bougaidis and Taxiarchis Fountas found their way into the club's starting eleven.
Despite the problems the club qualified for the Superleague Greece playoffs and conpeted for the Champions League qualification slot but lost it in the last fixture against Panathinaikos protesting for a wrongly disallowed goal scored by captain Nikos Liberopoulos.

Famous quotes containing the word part:
“Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
