The 2008–09 season is Panathinaikos' 50th consecutive season in the Super League Greece. They have qualified for the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round for the 2008–09 season. The 2007–08 season ended with Jose Peseiro's removal from the team's bench. After a year's absence they will return to Athens Olympic Stadium for the season. On 27 May 2008 after two hours of conversations between Panathinaikos chairmen, it was decided that Nikos Pateras would take over as Panathinaikos president.
