In December 2001 the club were rechristened as Neos Panionios FC to get around bankruptcy and relegation from the Greek first division. In 2004 shipowner Constantinos Tsakiris became the president of PGSS and in 2006 garnered 85% of Neos Panionios FC stocks. Panionios almost immediately started to gain success and featured in the UEFA Cup.
