the club was trying to reorganize and return to the top flight as soon as possible. After 4 games with 3 wins the club managed to erase the 6-point deduction and register a positive point tally. Had the penalty not been imposed the club would have been top of the league. After the positive start to the season, the young players were unable to take the pressure of the rugged Cypriot Second Division and six consecutive defeats and a further 3-point deduction, meant the resignation of coach Costas Seraphim in December 2013, the replacement was Savvas Paraskeva, an ex Cypriot youth team national coach.

In order to achieve this, funds to pay down debts to old players and to lift the embargo of signing senior players was the first objective. Old captain, defensive midfielder and manager Costas Seraphim took over as chairman on 27 July, the embargo was lifted on 28 August by reducing
