He alongsideStelios Manolas became the permanent leaders of the great AEK of the 90s. He combined very well and assisted all the great strikers that played in the club during his era, such asBatista,Dimitriadis,Alexandris,Kostis andNikolaidis. He also scored some very important goals, the most important of all being this againstRangers inGlasgow, for theUEFA Champions League qualifiers in the summer of 1994.[3] He served AEK for 13 years winning the four championships, threeGreek Cups, twoGreek Super Cups and theGreek League Cup. He is the third foreigner in appearances in the history of the league, behindKrzysztof Warzycha andPredrag Đorđević.[4] Savevski urgently stopped football in the yellow-black jersey in January 2001 and within a few days he became the manager of the team, as a "duo" withEugène Gerards, a position in which he remained until the end of the season.[5]
