The club changed manager four times during the season. The season started with Dimitris Kalaitzidis as the manager of the club, but he was dismissed after the draw against Iraklis Ampelokipoi on 19 October 2014. Dimitrios Bougiouklis was the caretaker until the club hired the Brazilian Paulo Campos. Paulo Campos left the club due to the HFF's rules, which do not allow non-European managers to Gamma Ethniki's teams, and replaced by Siniša Dobrašinović. The season finished with the return of Dimitris Kalaitzidis as manager, Siniša Dobrašinović as his assistant and the club's legend Dinos Kouis as Sporting director.
