## Overview

In the 1990–91 season AEK Athens did not manage to claim any distinctions. The club was plagued by administrative problems and most of the season was part of the "transitional" period, as the ownership of Zafiropoulos was coming to an end, since Stratos Gidopoulos never had any shares and he was only given the management of the club. As a result, at the end of the season the Court of First Instance chose a temporary administration led by Kostas Generakis.
The team did not play in any European competition due to a ban from the previous season. The only things that stood out in this season were the victory in the derby against Olympiacos in Rhodes and a satisfying 6–0 win against Xanthi.
In the Greek Cup, the team after advancing as firest from their respective group, qualified without a match in the round of 32, where they were invited to easily eliminated Charavgiakos with 2 wins. At the round of 16, AEK were eliminated by OFI, as they paid their disastrous appearance at Theodoros Vardinogiannis Stadium with a 3–0 defeat. Their great performance at the second leg with 3–1 was not enough for the club for to qualify to the next round.
In a season that was quickly forgotten, AEK finished 3rd and their top scorer was Daniel Batista with 14 goals, who was decided to be framed by more capable teammates to continue the spectacular and offensive football of Dušan Bajević. The only positive elements of the season was the necessary time credit that was given to Bajević, to prepare the club's "comeback" on the following seasons. And the continuation was proved to be indeed compensating.
