Iraklis FC was sold in 2000 to Evangelos Mytilineos for almost €3,500,000 (1.18 billion drachmas). Despite the acquisition of many promising players during the first summer, the 2000–2001 season didn't have the expected results, with the club finishing in 5th position of the national championship, out of European qualification spots. However, Iraklis managed to progress to the 2nd round of UEFA Cup. The following summer, Mytilineos sold the highly rated striker Michalis Konstantinou to Panathinaikos, setting a new record for the highest fee received for a domestic transfer.[4]
