he succeeded to keep the club alive. In October, Nicolaou stepped down as president with Poullaidis as his successor. In 2013–14, Anorthosis finished outside of the top 5 positions in the league for the first time in 24 years, and they did not finish higher than third position for the rest of the decade. In June 2019, club legend Temur Ketsbaia returned for his second spell as manager. 2020s In 2019–20, Anorthosis were equal on points with first-placed Omonoia at the top of the league after 23 games, when the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The following season in 2020–21, Anorthosis were just 5 points behind leaders Omonoia with 10 games to go, however they earned just 6 points in the remainder of the season, finishing in fourth and 22 points adrift of the eventual champions.
