At the beginning of 2014–15 season, Aris Thessaloniki was going to play in Football League Greece as a result of the finish into the last season in the bottom of league table and the relegation. Although the team chose to play in Gamma Ethniki relieving from the huge debts it had accumulated in recent years.[1]

Aris Thessaloniki was also going to compete in the Greek Football Cup. The draw was made and the team would play with Apollon Kalamaria. Owing to withdrawal from the Football League Greece the team lost both leg games of the First round with 3 – 0 (w/o). Finally, Aris Thessaloniki competed in the Gamma Ethniki Cup.

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.[2] Dimitrios Bougiouklis was the caretaker until the club hired the Brazilian Paulo Campos.[3] Paulo Campos left the club due to the HFF's rules, which do not allow non-European managers to Gamma Ethniki's teams,[4] and replaced by Siniša Dobrašinović.[5] 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.[6]
