The 2009–10 season was Olympiacos' 51st consecutive season in the Superleague Greece. Olympiacos finished 2nd in the regural season of the Greek SuperLeague and ranked last at the play-off games, resulting in a 5th place at the League,the worst position of team's recent seasons. Olympiacos also participated in UEFA Champions League 09-10, and managed to qualify to the knock-stage (round of 16). They lost twice from French side Bordeaux, 3-1 on aggregate.

This season was the last season with Sokratis Kokkalis as chairman of the club. The 5th league position as well as the team's low level of spectacle created a disappointing atmosphere, resulting in Kokkalis's decision to leave the club after two decades of constant presence.
