Reserve teams inGreece play in the same league system as the senior team, rather than in a reserve team league. They must play at least one level below their main side, and thus PAOK B are ineligible for promotion toSuper League Greece. They also cannot play in theGreek Cup.
All players will be able to move up and down in the first team, which means that if an injured player wants to prepare better, he will play in the second team and then return to the first team.B Teams will normally participate in all competitive activities. They will not have the right to be promoted to the samecategory as the first team, but they will normally participate in the playoffs and playouts, but not in theCup, where they will not have the right to participate. While, of course, if they occupy low places in the standings, they will be relegated like all teams.[2]

The team's first appearance in theSuper League 2 came in 2021 at the north group of the division, forming a squad of players that were part mainly from the youth academy and players that were loaned out the last season with small experience in professional football. With the same sceptical the coaching staff was formed the same way, with members from lower structure of the club likeMirosław Sznaucner, Theocharis Komsis and Vasilios Petropoulos finishing in the 8th position.
Lastseason forPablo Garcia in charge, PAOK B finished in the 5th position of the table making a great job and promoting young players to the first team likeStefanos Tzimas,Konstantinos Koulierakis and many others.Vladimir Bradonjić scored 11 goals making him top goalscorer of the season for the club and earning a transfer toEthnikos Achna. The departure of Pablo Garcia left a void at the helm of PAOK B, with Alexis Alexiadis replacing the Uruguayan coach.The "black and whites" announced the start of its collaboration with the Greek coach, who until recently was in the infrastructuredepartments of Dikefalos.[3]
With a renewed roster, PAOK B' will be presented in the new season 2024/25 in the Super League 2 championship, while within the framework of the changes, there will also be changes on the team's bench. More specifically, on Saturday (20/07), the Dikephalos of the North made an announcement, through which it was announced that the positions of its former coach, Alexis Alexiadis and his direct partner, Thanasis Terzis, are now being taken over by Apostolis Papavasileiou and Dimitris Taxidis.
