1 History
1.1 Foundation and the early years
PAOK FC is the oldest division of PAOK Sports Club,the
succession ofHermes Sports Club (Greek: ),which was formed in 1877
by the Greek community ofPera, a district of Istanbul.[3]
PAOK in 1926.
That situation, however, came to an abrupt end afterthe
Greco-Turkish War, when most players emigrated toGreece. Left
behind was a club consisting of the resi-dents that remained (later
called Politakia). Those whoed settled in Thessaloniki and
established PAOK. Therst name (1925) of the new teamwasAek
Thessaloniki(Constantinopolitans of Thessaloniki) but after one
yearPAOK was created as a will for a more open and biggerclub. The
other clubs which are continuity of the Hermesare the Beyolu SK and
A.E.K. Athens F.C..The clubs rst charter was approved on 20 April
1926 bymeans of decision of the Thessaloniki Court of First
In-stance (No. 822). PAOKs rst emblem, adopted in 1926
The team of 1937.
was a four-leaved clover and a horseshoe. The leaves weregreen
with the letters PAOK marked on each of them, asymbol devised by
Kostas Koemtzopoulos (president ofPera Club).The clubs founding
members were:T. Triantafyllidis (1st Chairman), Hasan Kprl(2nd
Chairman), A. Angelopoulos(3rd Chairman),A. Athanasiadis, K.
Anagnostidis, M. Ventourellis,A. Dimitriadis, D. Dimitriadis, N.

Papadopoulos,F. Gamospi-tos, F. Samantzopoulos, T. Tsoulkas, M.
Tsoulkas, S.TriantafyllidisAfter two months of preparation by the
team followingthe clubs establishment, it was decided that the
teamshould compete against the other teams in Thessaloniki.The rst
match of the club was a win against Iraklis on26 July 1925 by 21.
Two weeks later, PAOK lost 52to Aris.The vision of the clubs
founders and the whole PAOKcommunity of establishing a home ground
became real-ity in 1928 following much eort and thus on 12
Decem-ber 1930 the Syntrivaniou Football Ground was ociallyopened.
This was followed by a friendly match againstAris with PAOK winning
21.The rst professional contract was a document of
historicimportance. It was signed by the Club on 5 Septem-ber 1928.
The contract stipulated that the French foot-baller Raymond Etienne
of Hebrew descent from Pera-club would be paid 4,000 drachmas per
month. The con-tract was signed by Dr. Meletiou (PAOK Chairman)

Mr. Sakellaropoulos, Hon. Secretary. [4]
Following the merger with AEK Thessaloniki in 1929,PAOK changed
its emblem. The new emblem becamethe double-headed eagle of the
Byzantine Empire, whichit remains to this day, indicating the
heritage of the emi-grants from Istanbul. The dierence between the
PAOKeagle is that its wings folded and the colors are black
andwhite, to symbolize the black of mourning for the tragicstory of
lost homelands, and white for the hope of a betterfuture.The rst
foreign coach in the history of the team was theGerman Rudolph
Ganser, who served with PAOK for the193132 season.Following World
War II and the German occupation ofGreece, the team known as the
Two-Headed Eagle en-tered upon a shining chapter in its career
starting at thebeginning of the 1950s. Willi Sevcik, an Austrian
coach(19501952) who had worn the PAOK jersey in 193132, established
a young talent academy within the clubwhich gave rise to leading
names who later left theirmark, such as Leandros Symeonidis,
Giannelos, Margari-tis, Giorgos Havanidis, and others.
1.2 19531970: Recognition
1953 marked the beginning of PAOKs golden age. Dur-ing the
summer transfer period, Kouiroukidis, Petridis,Progios, Geroudis,
Kermanidis, Hourvouliadis, Hasio-tis and Angelidis all joined the
club. PAOK becameall-powerful, winning the Thessaloniki
championship forthree successive years and becoming a worthy
represen-tative of Greeces second city in the national
champi-onship.In 1957, the club managers envisioned a new
footballground since the old ground had been annexed by thestate.
The choice was a piece of land belonging to the Na-tional Defence
Fund in the Toumba District, which wasalso a neighbourhood closely
associated with refugeesfrom Asia Minor. A total area of 30,000 x2
was acquiredby PAOK for a signicant price, and construction of
thenew football ground began. Lottery tickets were even is-sued to
aid construction of the new stadium, which waseventually opened on
6 September 1959 by the Ministerof National Defence, Mr. G.
Themelis. Before the rstkick-o, an Air Force plane dropped a ball
on a y-pastas a symbolic donation from the armed forces. Thanksto
its new Ground, PAOK was ready to start a brilliantcareer starting
with the new First Division established in1959.At the opening of
the 1st Divisions rst championshipon 25 October 1959, PAOK welcomed
the Katerini teamMegas Alexandros, beating them 31. The team
line-up was as follows: arko Mihajlovi (Serbian) and Pro-gios,
Hasiotis, Raptopoulos, Giannelos, Kemanidis, Ha-vanidis, Leandros,
Kiourtzis, Kouiroukidis, Salousto and
Nikolaidis.The success of the 1950s was followed by a decade
ofaverage performance during the 60s. One could say thatit was as
if the club was building up its strength to unleashit during the
next decade.
1.3 19701985: The golden years
Giorgos Koudas
The team became established as one of the best ever toplay at
Greek football grounds with players whose namesgained popularity in
the Greek football scene. It was ateam which set several records,
led by president GiorgosPantelakis.PAOK was able to make a blow to
the football powersof Athens, winning the Championship in 1976,
precededby triumphs in the Cup, in 1972 and 1974. 1976 alsomarked
the foundation of Gate 4, PAOKs greatest orga-nized fanbase.Up to
1974, while Greece was governed by a militaryjunta, PAOK had not
only a football power, but also ananti-dictatorship symbol of
sorts, and Toumba stadiumbecame a harbor of fan anti-junta
slogans.Les Shannon, who once played for high-ranking Englishclubs
such as Liverpool and Burnley, was one the manycauses for PAOKs
success as he led them to win theGreek football cup in 1972 and
1974. He is still heraldedas a hero in Greek football today.PAOKs
excellent performance continued during theearly 1980s, with the
club being one of the regular title

contenders. The highest point came in 1985, when theclub won its
second Greek Championship, its rst trophysince Greek football
became professional. Another char-acteristic of the 1980s was the
ever-growing fanaticismof the fans, which reached levels of
hooliganism neverseen before, and began to move beyond Greeces
borders,spurring the creation of fanbases in cities all over
Europeby the Greek diaspora. However, the obsession shown byfans
also had its downside, translating in quite a few casesinto
outbreaks of violence which entailed penalties andnes being imposed
on the club.At the European level, the clubmade its best
performanceever, qualifying for the quarter nals of the UEFA
CupWinners Cup in 197374, where they were knocked outby the Italian
team Milan. PAOK also made a memo-rable appearance against German
giants Bayern Munichin the UEFA cup in 198384, where it was knocked
outon penalties[5][6] after two goalless draws.
1.4 19851996: The rst decline
Arie Haan
The 1990s started well, with PAOK rmly among the topthree teams
in Greece. It was stigmatized, however, byan extremely
average-to-poor team performance underthe chairmanship of Thomas
Voulinos, who came intodirect conict with the fans following
serious hooligan-ism episodes during a PAOKParis
Saint-Germainmatchfor the UEFA Cup, which led to PAOKs exclusion
fromUEFA European competitions for ve years and verysoon to nancial
ruin.
1.5 19962004: Revitalization and returnto trophies
In 1996, the change long demanded by PAOK fans cameabout.
Voulinos handed over the reins of the club toGiorgos Batatoudis and
an air of optimism was tangi-ble everywhere in Thessaloniki.
Numerous transfers ofwell-known players such as Percy Olivares,
Zisis Vryzas,Spyros Marangos, Kostas Fratzeskos, and others
tookplace under the new administration.
Ioannis Okkas
In 1997, having served its ve-year ban, PAOK even-tually qualied
for the UEFA Cup with coach AngelosAnastasiadis, a well-known
former PAOK player, on thebench. The clubs reappearance at European
level wasmarked by an astonishing elimination of the British
clubArsenal F.C.. PAOK was eliminated on the next roundby Atltico
Madrid.However, the new team did not prove equally successfulin the
domestic league, again nishing fourth in 19971998 despite great
optimism. The clubs continuing in-ability to break the dominance of
the big three in theleague resulted in several changes in managers
over thefollowing three years. By the end of the 19971998 sea-son
Anastasiadis was sacked and Oleg Blokhin reprisedhis position as
PAOKs manager after ve years. Yet,unable to make any considerable
improvements, Blokhinhimself only stayed for a few months, and was
again re-placed by Anastasiadis in late 1998. He himself stayedonly
till February 1999, and was again replaced in favorof Arie Haan,
who, like Blokhin, returned after a four-
-
4 1 HISTORY
year gap. By December 1999, in tting fashion, Haanwas himself
sacked, to be replaced by star coach DuanBajevi.PAOK was rmly
established among the top teams in theGreek league, but once again
growing nancial problemsand unstable administration by Batatoudis
meant they stillcould not keep up with the three major league
contendersof Athens. Nevertheless, Bajevic led the club to their
rstthrophy in 16 years, winning an unforgettable Greek Cupnal
against Olympiacos in 2001, with an emphatic 24[7]score.Angelos
Anastasiadis was once again summoned, as Ba-jevic did not renew his
contract in the summer of 2002.Anastasiadis led the club to another
Cup triumph, thesecond in three years. It was in the clubs home
groundin Toumba Stadium, that PAOK celebrated their fourthGreek
Cup, defeating arch-rivals Aris Thessaloniki F.C.10.[8] Despite
these triumphs, however, debts continuedto plague the club, and
some successes in the UEFA Cupwere short-lived.
1.6 200407: The second decline and near-destruction
In late summer of 2003, under great pressure from
fans,Batatoudis handed his shares to businessmen GiannisGoumenos
and Vassilis Pagonis. Giannis Goumenos alsoassumed the presidency,
under the motto of a temporaryadministration. This meant that his
role would be to tryto facilitate a possible deal with people
willing to makethe hefty investments required to save the club from
itsdebts.
Dimitris Salpingidis
The 200304 season was an unexpected success under
the management of Anastasiadis, and although in accor-dance to a
tight nancial policy (in order to decrease thedebts, leading many
key players to leave as free agents forother clubs, including
eventual champions Olympiacos),they managed to nish third and to
secure participationin the qualifying rounds of the following years
UEFAChampions League. The prospect of the ChampionsLeague group
stage brought great optimism to fans andmanagement alike,
especially because the projected in-come would practically
eliminate all debts.Unfortunately the team failed to qualify, as
they wereknocked out by unlikely opponents Maccabi Tel Aviv inthe
third qualifying round. The main reason was that inthe home game,
Anastasiadis elded Liassos Louka, aCypriot player who was still
serving a two-match ban inUEFA competitions (for his sending-o in a
UEFA In-tertoto Cup tie while playing for Nea Salamis on 8
July2000). Though the game did nish 12 for Maccabi, the03 forfeit
win awarded to the Israelis destroyed all hopePAOK had for a
comeback, and the rematch lost all in-terest (40 aggregate loss).
After the subsequent UEFACup elimination by AZ Alkmaar,
Anastasiadis resigned.Thus, the 20042005 season started with the
worst omensfor the club and for Goumenos.Instead of making any
improvements, Goumenos admin-istration failed miserably in the next
two years, as theclubs debt to the Greek state (due to constant tax
eva-sions, interests and unpaid nes) continued to grow, andon top
of that, the nancial management of the club itselfwas ever
deteriorating.Rolf Fringer was appointed as new coach in
September2004, replacing Anastasiadis, yet did not live up to
ex-pectations, managing Anastasiadis former squad whichmostly
consisted of youngsters. After a few games,Fringer was eventually
replaced by Nikos Karageorgiou,leading the club to a fth-place nish
in May 2005, and aUEFA Cup qualication.The 200506 season started
with better omens, yetproved to be the most turbulent.[9] Apart
from the re-turn of former captain Theodoros Zagorakis in the
sum-mer of 2005 from Bologna FC, signings of key play-ers like
Marcin Mieciel, Fatih Akyel and Shikabala tookplace.[10] Despite
this, another mediocre league start ledKarageorgiou to be sacked as
well, and replaced by for-mer technical director Giorgos Kostikos.
Kostikos didmanage good performances in the autumn of 2005,
in-cluding an unexpected away win at Olympiacos FC, anda thrilling
qualication to the UEFA Cup group stages.However, after the winter
break, the squad fared frombad to worse, suering a handful of
successive defeats,which led Kostikos to the exit as well, replaced
by IlieDumitrescu. By now Goumenos had set a new record forthe
club, by laying o ve dierent coaches in just 16months. While the
club did achieve UEFA cup qualica-tion by nishing in sixth place,
uncertainty was more thantangible.

1.7 200710: The Zagorakis plan 5
PAOK Olympiacos derby (2005)
By the end of May 2006, the clubs dramatic situationstarted to
emerge, with players openly declaring they areunpaid for months,
plus a shock decision by UEFA toban the club from participating in
the upcoming UEFACup[11] brought the club one step from complete
ruin,with the organized fanbase launching an all-out war onGiannis
Goumenos in the June 2006,[12] going as faras to occupy the clubs
oces in Toumba stadium fora handful of days. The situation was ever
worseningfor Goumenos, after many failed deals with
possibleinvestors,[13] constant allegations of embezzlement,[14]and
especially his decision to sell star player DimitrisSalpingidis to
Panathinaikos,[15] in an eort to cash in.The latter had a profound
impact, causing a lot of disgustin the already disappointed
fans.The 200607 season started with PAOK unsure if theycould even
manage to participate in the Greek League,due to the pressing
debts. Little-known players likeCarlos Zegarra and Miguel Rebosio
were signed, in aneort to ll the squad, and Dumitrescu settled with
ultra-defensive tactics, as the means to earn what points hecould
resulting in terrible quality football, tiring fansand rapidly
diminishing ticket sales.Eventually, Goumenos was forced to
withdraw from thepresidency in 13 November 2006 (though he would
notrelinquish his shares until over two years later).[16][17] Hewas
replaced by Nikos Vezyrtzis and Apostolos Oikono-midis, former
shareholders in PAOK BC. The new man-agement was appointed under
order of the District Courtof Thessaloniki, as the club was now
essentially understate observation, owing to the huge debt to the
Greekstate which by now was well over 30 million.The club fared
little better in remainder of the sea-son. Managerial changes
continued as ever MomciloVukotic replaced Dumitrescu in October
2006,[18] onlyto be sacked himself ve months later, in favor of
GiorgosParaschos. PAOK eventually nished the 20062007season in 6th
place, losing out on the UEFA Cup spots,and little hope of breaking
its shackles, as the fans contin-ued to put very little trust in
the Vezyrtzis-Oikonomidis
duo and the needed investments seemed highly unlikely.

Pablo Gabriel Garca
In the summer of 2007, Theodoros Zagorakis as-sumed presidency
of the club, replacing the Vezyrtzis-Oikonomidis administration and
thus ushered in a newera. One of the new managements rst actions
was tolay down a three-year plan: the rst year priority wouldbe to
take action the clubs massive crippling debts, be-ginning in
200708, the second would be to qualify forthe UEFA Cup again, and
the third would be to becomea major league title contender once
again.Yet because of the tremendous nancial breakdown inthe past
four years, the club was left with a low qualityroster and almost
no prospect of any summer transfers.Yet, due to hope and trust of
the traditional fanbase inthe iconic gure of Zagorakis, the summer
of 2007 sawan unprecedented rise in season ticket sales, toppling
allprevious club records, and bringing a much-needed inuxof cash
for the club. This allowed the transfers of sea-soned though
relatively cheap, being free agents play-ers like Vassilis Lakis,
Ifeanyi Udeze, and Glen Salmon,and also the return of veteran PAOK
and Perugia strikerZisis Vryzas. Many older debts to former players
andmanagers, could nally be paid o.

Theodoros Zagorakis, captain of the 2004 Greece national
foot-ball team
The plans rst season was still plagued by poor per-formances,
including many home defeats and an elim-ination from the Greek Cup
by second division clubThrasyvoulos. The early replacement of coach
GiorgosParaschos by established manager Fernando Santos didlittle
to prevent a ninth-place nish in the league, theworst performance
by the club in 11 years. One of the fewhigh points was the winter
transfer of star player SrgioConceio.The clubs nances, however,
gradually improved, and thanks to the continuing massive support
from fansin the form of season tickets,[19] as well as many
newsponsorship deals the summer of 2008 saw the trans-fers of
widely known internationals like Pablo Contr-eras,[20] Zlatan
Muslimovi,[21] Pablo Garca[22] to theclub, among others. Many of
them were attributed toZisis Vryzas, who hadmeanwhile decided to
retire in Jan-uary 2008 to assume the place of technical director
forthe club.In January 2009, Zagorakis announced the clubs
inten-tion of building a new training facility complex in
NeaMesimvria, Thessaloniki. The club had already acquiredland from
the municipality of Agios Athanasios in theprevious summer,[23] and
by February construction wasalready under way.
The end of the 200809 season found PAOK in secondplace, eight
points behind champions Olympiacos, thebest place the club had
taken since 1985, and well abovewhat was expected in the summer.
This success, how-ever was short-lived, as the club failed to
retain their placein the recently erected league playos, nishing
fourthand missing out on the second UEFA Champions Leagueberth to
Panathinaikos. Nevertheless, the club secured aspot in the 200910
UEFA Europa League third qualify-ing round.Despite the League playo
failure, the 200910 seasonstarted with the best omens for the club,
as once againthe response to the summer sales of season tickets
wasenormous, despite the hefty increase in prices.
Numeroustransfers once again took place, including former Racingde
Santander player Vitolo, experienced defender BrunoCirillo, and
star youngster Vasilios Koutsianikoulis, theclubs costliest
transfer in many years. Key players con-tracts, like Olivier Sorlin
and Vieirinha, were also re-newed.The new squad did not manage to
live up to expecta-tions immediately, suering a painful (especially
in -nancial terms) UEFA Cup elimination by Dutch clubHeerenveen. To
make matters worse, the rst few gamesof 2009 found the club
struggling in low positions. De-spite that, the squad gradually
started to climb to the rstplaces, and starting on 5 December 2009,
managed a 13-game unbeaten streak, including memorable wins
againstPanathinaikos and Olympiacos, solidifying the club asone of
the main league title contenders. This run wasnot without setbacks,
as the club suered another shockelimination, this time from the
Greek Cup, at the handsof recently promoted PAS Giannena.The
unbeaten streak ended in late March, when succes-sive derby defeats
by Aris and AEK, eectively endedany hope of winning the
championship. However, theclub redeemed itself in the league
play-os by nishingrst, with impressive consecutive wins against
Aris Thes-saloniki F.C., AEK F.C. and twice against OlympiakosF.C..
Thus, PAOK was eligible to compete in the 201011 UEFA Champions
League third qualifying round.
1.8 201012: The years after FernandoSantos
The three-year plan ended as a perceived success; PAOKwas
transformed from amiserable, rapidly collapsing clubto a major
championship contender once again, llingToumba stadium on a regular
basis, and having constantlypositive nances, despite the burden of
the still unsettleddebt to the Greek state.The 2010 league playo
success was swiftly followed byFernando Santos' announcement of his
decision to depart,having concluded his three-year contract.[24] It
was even-tually decided in mid-June that Mario Beretta would behis
successor,[25] following negotiations with numerous

other Italian managers by Zisis Vryzas.The clubs rst and much
speculated transfer was thereturn of prodigal son Dimitris
Salpingidis for the nextfour years, whose contract with
Panathinaikos had justexpired in June. The rst dumors initially
caused somecontroversy among the organized fan base, though
Salp-ingidis was eventually welcomed back by the vast major-ity of
fans, very much in light of his huge potential as astriker.After
withdrawing to the training facilities of Bad Brck-enau in
mid-July, the club was also drawn to face AFCAjax in the third
qualifying round.As the squad made several awful appearances in its
pre-season friendly matches (notably losing to Kickers Oen-bach by
31[26]), alarming fans and management alike,Theodoros Zagorakis
nally decided to re Beretta andhis sta on 22 July, just one week
prior to the clubs awaymatch in Amsterdam. Beretta was quickly
replaced withPavlos Dermitzakis, veteran PAOK player and
Zagorakisinitial choice before reverting to Beretta.[27] Beretta
alsobecame the shortest-lived PAOK coach ever, sitting onthe bench
for just 38 days.[28]
With Dermitzakis at the helm, PAOK faced Ajax andwas ultimately
eliminated on the away goals rule, manag-ing a 11[29] draw in
Amsterdam and a thrilling 33[30]draw in Thessaloniki. Entering
theUEFAEuropa Leagueplayo round, PAOK were drawn against Turkish
clubFenerbahe, also eliminated on the Champions League
third qualifying round. This time, PAOK fared muchbetter and
after winning the home game 10[31] in Thes-saloniki, secured a
memorable 11[32] draw in Istanbulafter extra time, qualifying for
the group stage, and beingdrawn to play alongside Villarreal CF,
Club Brugge andDinamo Zagreb.Unfortunately, such excellent
performances did not con-tinue in the rst xtures of the Greek
league. Unsuc-cessful results included a stinging 01[33] home loss
toarch-rival Aris FC (the rst home loss in twelve years),and
although the European campaign was on track (witha draw against
Brugge and a win against Dinamo Zagreb)many key players received
harsh criticism from the fans,not as much for the bad results, as
for their apparent lackof passion, which they showed against Ajax
and Fener-bahe. Dermitzakis was not excluded from criticism, andwas
thought to be losing control over his players disciplineby engaging
in personal conicts.
Kostas Katsouranis
Another hands-down defeat against Panathinaikos ce-mented the
belief that the team cannot be improved underDermitzakis, leading
to his removal on 17 October.[34]His assistant Makis Chavos
replaced him as caretakercoach. At rst fans were asking for a quick
replace ofChavos by a European-range coach, but after a streak
offour wins in the Greek Superleague and a home 10[35]win against
Villarreal CF in the UEFA Europe Leaguegroup stage, Chavos started
to be considered as a usefulsolution as long as the team remained
tranquil and wasindeed signed as the permanent coach in
mid-December.PAOK ended their Europa League group stage
campaignwith an emphatic win 01[36] at GNK Dinamo Zagreb,qualifying
second after Villarreal CF. They were laterdrawn to face PFC CSKA
Moscow on the rst knock-out round in February. The rst game in
Toumba ended01[37] and, due to the 11[38] result in Moscow, PAOKwas
eliminated from the next phase of 201011 UEFA

players of theteam such as Vieirinha and Pablo Contreras,

1.9 2012present: The Ivan Savvidis era
Huub Stevens
In the summer of 2012 and after several months of nego-tiations
Ivan Savvidis became the new major shareholderof PAOK. He invested
12 million euros, 2 of them asa loan to the club in May 2012. The
new shareholder
Georgios Tzavellas
Hedwiges Maduro
of PAOK established a new nancial policy at the clubin order to
pay o the vast debts which were created bythe previous
administrations. The club would under thisnew policies use more
players from the academies ratherthan buying costly foreign
players. Former players turnedpresidents Thodoris Zagorakis and
Zisis Vryzas were uti-lized in the football operations of the club,
whilst Savvidisalso appointed some of his own sta in key positions.
ThePAOK board appointed the Greek coach Giorgos Donisin the summer
of 2012 after terminating the contract withformer coach Lszl

half of the teams budgetfor the 2012-2013 season. PAOK nished the
season in2nd place during the regular period, qualifying for the

rivalry
The rivalry between Olympiacos and PAOK, is long-standing,
emerging in the 1960s, when the infamous caseof Giorgos Koudas'

fueled by the cor-responding rivalry that exists in many aspects
betweenAthens and Thessaloniki.A deep-seated hatred also exists
between PAOK and lo-cal rivals Aris Thessaloniki, which has
culminated in twomemorable Greek Cup nals between them, each
clubwinning one. On an annual basis, erce derbies are con-tested
for the Greek League, frequently accompanied byviolent outbreaks on
