, Edouardo Rigani, Juan Montez, Jose Pasternac, Alfredo Glasman and Edouardo Lisa, with De Faria as coach) and procured several finishes near the top of the National Division
table, often earning victories over Greece’s more established big city teams such as Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, AEK and PAOK
. The club’s effective and spirited play during the 1970s drew flattering comparisons with that of the Dutch
club Ajax Amsterdam
, and the moniker “Ajax of Epirus” has stuck with the team ever since. In 1980 former Poland national team coach Jacek Gmoch
took the helm of the Epirote club for what was a brief but reasonably successful tenure.
and again after the 2002–3 season following sanctions of 65 points imposed on it by the Greek football association (EPO) after a unique and dubious decision. While there were other teams in the Superleague that owed at least 30 million euros, only PAS Giannina were relegated.
Related administrative and financial issues threatened to cause the club to be stripped of its professional status and relegated to the amateur division indefinitely. This was ultimately averted and the club's control switched over to controversial attorney Alexis Kougias
, who oversaw the promotion of the team from the Tertiary Division (Gamma Ethniki) to the Second Division (Beta Ethniki). PAS finished 5th in the Second Division after the 2006–7 season and finished 4th after the 2007–8 season, coming very close to promotion and only losing out on the last match day.
In the summer of 2008 ownership of the club was passed over to Yiorgos Christovasilis, a businessman from Athens whose roots stem from the Epirus region. He brought on Guillermos Ollos as coach for the 2008–09 season,in which they succeeded in promoting the team in Greek Super League for the next season. PAS Giannina will reach the first Greek division and as a coach was employed Georgios Paraschos
that was elected Manager of the year with Iraklis in 1996.
, to cope with this great commitment and experience of the past, the chairman Yiorgos Christovasilis hired from Siena, the Greek international goalkeeper Dimitrios Eleftheropoulos
. But he did not stop there, he also hired, Ilias Kotsios
former Panathinaikos and an old acquaintance of Italian football, Ibrahima Bakayoko
for playing in the ranks of Messina and Livorno and returned from a good season at PAOK finished second behind Olympiakos. From Olympiakos come Konstantinos Mendrinos

but in the end it wasn't found that agreement with them. In January of 2010 is called as a coach, an old acquaintance of the Italian championship Nikos Anastopoulos
in place of Georgios Paraschos
. On 20 January 2010, PAS Giannina reach the first knockout round of the Greek Cup against dell'Atromitos, team coached by Giorgos Donis former flag of the team of Epirus

.
, but it has won lower division titles throughout its history and represented the Greek football league in the 1978-9 and 1993-4 Balkans Cup
tournaments. During its peak years in the National Division, the club twice finished in the 5th place position (1975-6, 1977–8 seasons) and once in the 6th place spot (1979–80 season). The most famous player to have donned the blue and white PAS jersey in recent years is defender Giourkas Seitaridis, who later played for Panathinaikos
, FC Porto, Dynamo Moscow
, and Atlético Madrid as well as the triumphant Euro 2004 Greece squad.
On January 31, 2007, PAS clinched a spot in the Greek Cup semifinals by virtue of an extra-time goal from Evangelos Kontogoulidis
before a hostile crowd in Karaiskakis Stadium
. With an aggregate score of 3–2, PAS also became the first ever lower division club to eliminate Olympiacos from the Greek Cup tournament.
, AEK Athens, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.
There is hostility with OFI Crete
based on the events surrounding their 2001 playoff. In contrast, derby matches against nearby AO Kerkyra
are competitive in the sporting sense but do not evoke the same feelings of enmity from PAS supporters.
Because of the strong connection between the city of Ioannina and the club, the fans of PAS Giannina are also called Pagourades (Παγουράδες, literally The Canteen Men). This nickname applies to all the people from Ioannina and comes from an old legend
, according to which they once tried to drain the local lake
dry by using their canteens
.

In the doldrums: Mid-1980s and 90s
The period following the club's aforementioned peak years generally marked a sharp decline in the club's fortunes as many of its top stars moved on or retired outright without being satisfactorily replaced. PAS languished in the lower rungs of Greek football from the mid 1980s onwards, having only managed to stubbornly climb back up to the top flight for a single season in 1990 before being immediately demoted. The club would spend the remainder of the 1990s in the lower divisions.Bumpy ride: 2000 to 2009
PAS has experienced a fair degree of instability in recent years. Under the stewardship of businessman Manthos Kolempas, the club showed signs of a mild resurgence by managing to be promoted to the National Division twice since 2000. The club was relegated, however, from the top flight after the 2000–1 season following a controversial 3-game playoff with OFI CreteOFI Crete
