2008–09 Panathinaikos F.C. season

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 200809 season. The 200708 season ended with Jose Peseiro's removal from the team's bench.[1] After a year's absence they will return to Athens Olympic Stadium for the season.[2] On 27 May 2008 after two hours of conversations between Panathinaikos chairmen, it was decided that Nikos Pateras would take over as Panathinaikos president.[3] On 13 June 2008 Panathinaikos announced that the new team coach will be Henk ten Cate for the next two years.[4]
