Season review

Head coach and chairman changes during season

On 4 October 2013, a day after the home defeat to

Giorgos Donis, who on 11 October 2013 signed a contract until the end of the 2013–14 season.^[3]

Phivos Erotokritou, the chairman of APOEL since November 2008, resigned and on 4 December 2013 he was replaced by Prodromos Petrides, who had served again as chairman of APOEL from 2001 to 2006.[4]

Doxa Katokopias at GSP Stadium

on 23 July 2013, in a match which APOEL won by 2–1.

LTV Super Cup

Paulo Sérgio's men picked up their first silverware of the season thanks to a 35th-minute goal from Portuguese defender Mário Sérgio.^[6]

Cypriot First Division

Regular season

On 2 September 2013, APOEL opened their competitive season with a 3–0 win at

direct free kick in the 17th minute and nine minutes later César Santin scored from close range after Nektarios Alexandrou's cross to make it 2–0 for APOEL. On 19 March 2014, APOEL were held to a goalless draw by Omonia at GSP Stadium and dropped to the third place, three points behind leaders AEL Limassol

.

Play-offs

On 23 March 2014, in its first Championship play-off match, APOEL maintained the pressure on

Super Cup. However, on 6 June 2014, the Cyprus Football Association's (CFA) disciplinary committee – acting as an appeals board – unanimously cancelled on the CFA council's decision to repeat the May 17 championship final between AEL and APOEL, awarding the match to APOEL with a 0–3 score.^[9]

Cypriot Cup

First round

In the first round of the

free kick in the 50th minute. Two minutes later, Cillian Sheridan put APOEL in front but Pantelis Tavrou equaliser in the 74th minute took the match to extra time. During the extra 30 minutes, APOEL were better side and struck twice with a header from Cillian Sheridan in the 104th minute and with a penalty kick from Gustavo Manduca

seven minutes before the end.

Second round

APOEL were drawn to face AEL Limassol in a two-leg match-up for the second round of the Cypriot Cup. On 8 January 2014, in the first leg of their Cypriot Cup second round clash, APOEL secured a narrow 1–0 advantage over AEL Limassol at GSP Stadium after Irish striker Cillian Sheridan scored from close range in the 40th minute.

On 22 January 2014, APOEL recorded another 1–0 win over AEL Limassol at

Tsirion Stadium for an aggregate 2–0 victory over last season's beaten finalists in the second round of the Cypriot Cup. Gustavo Manduca scored the only goal of the game in the 64th minute, converting Tomás De Vincenti's cross, to secure APOEL's progression into the quarter-finals for the first time since the 2009–10 season

, also getting revenge over AEL Limassol who knocked them out at this stage of the competition in the last two seasons.

Quarter-finals

APOEL were drawn to face

Giorgos Donis decided to rest many first-team players and as a result APOEL were held to a goalless draw by Alki at GSZ Stadium

.

On 19 February 2014, APOEL easily beat

Alki Larnaca 3–0 at GSP Stadium and qualified for the Cypriot Cup semi-finals for the first time in four years. After a goalless first half, APOEL made the breakthrough in the 46th minute with a goal from Constantinos Charalambides. Twenty minutes later, Gustavo Manduca scored another one for APOEL, while Constantinos Charalambides

struck again with a beautiful long shot sixteen minutes before the end.

Semi-finals

APOEL were drawn to face

Marcelo Oliveira fired APOEL back into the lead a couple of minutes later and then Constantinos Charalambides

bagged a brace to give APOEL a 4–1 win that would be enough to send them into the Cup final.

On 9 April 2014, despite fielding a team based only on reserve players, APOEL easily beat

Doxa Katokopias 4–0 at Makario Stadium and reached the Cup final, with Christos Pipinis, a brace from Aldo Adorno and César Santin

getting the goals.

Final

On 21 May 2014, APOEL won their 20th

Ermis Aradippou at GSP Stadium.^[10]^[11] The club had not won the trophy since the 2007–08 season but the first half goals from Tomás De Vincenti and Cillian Sheridan

ensured that the cup would be going back to APOEL after a six-year absence.

It did not take long for

Giorgos Donis’ side to get the breakthrough. After some patient build-up play from APOEL, Tomás De Vincenti was played through and the Argentine showed great composure to give his side the lead after just six minutes. APOEL continued to dominate the game and on 28 minutes they doubled their lead. Tomás De Vincenti was involved again, laying the ball off to Tiago Gomes who shook off pressure from Ermis defence before playing the ball across goal with Cillian Sheridan

on hand for an easy finish to give APOEL a significant lead. Ermis put up a good fight but were ultimately outplayed by a team with far more experience in the big matches.

UEFA Champions League

Third qualifying round

The team won the national league the previous season and as such entered the third qualifying round of the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League. APOEL were drawn against Slovenian side Maribor. In the first leg, APOEL drew 1–1 with Maribor at GSP Stadium. APOEL took the lead in the 21st minute with a goal by Nuno Morais. Maribor equalised in the 64th minute, when Marcos Tavares scored for the final score of 1–1. In the second leg, APOEL took the initiative from the first whistle and maintained a 60% ball possession at Ljudski vrt, but they only managed a goalless draw against Maribor and were eliminated on away goals rule after a 1–1 aggregate score.

UEFA Europa League

Play-off round

After being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, APOEL dropped down into the UEFA Europa League play-off round, and was drawn against Belgian side Zulte Waregem. The first leg was held at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in Brussels and ended in a 1–1 draw. In the second leg, APOEL lost 2–1 at GSP Stadium and were eliminated.
