In the 2018–2019 season Costas Seraphim remained president and was backed by the old president of the glory days of the early 2000s, Christopher Tornaritis, as head of the football department. Their first move is to hire Costas Malekkos as manager, with a view of returning to the top flight immediately. After two successive defeats in the first two games of the new season, Malekkos was replaced by Fangio Buyse who brought consecutive wins and the club was in first place after 11 games. Four games before the end of the season the club dropped to third place outside the promotion spots and Buyse was replaced by Kyriacos Polycarpou, an old player of the club, as caretaker manager, who lifted the club to second place and promotion. The debt was stabilised.
