Prodromos Petrides has concluded his tenure as president of APOEL, leaving behind a 12+ year term filled with successes but also financial challenges. During his second term, APOEL won 7 Cypriot championships, 2 Cups, and 2 Super Cups, achieving a double in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. The team also had significant European distinctions, with two appearances in the Champions League group stages, three in the Europa League, and one in the Conference League League Phase, becoming the first Cypriot team to compete in all UEFA competitions from the group stage onwards. However, his tenure was marked by frequent coaching changes, with 22 different managers taking charge of the team during Petrides' second term, including interim coaches.
