During the summer transfer window in 2019, Veria's board achieved to sign some significant players like Giannis Pasas and the Argentian midfielder Marcelo Penta as their goal was to achieve promotion to Super League 2. Veria participated in the third tier championship of Greek football, Football League during 2019–20 season and finished 6th as the championship was suspended due to COVID-19 pandemic and didn't allow them to compete for the promotion in the remaining fixtures. [2] Veria's head coach at the time was Kostas Georgiadis who succeed Theodosis Theodosiadis who was fired mid season due to club's poor performance in the league.[3] Georgiadis and Veria terminated the contract in consensus on 23 June 2020. [4]

2020–21: Promotion to Super League 2

On 28 July 2020, Veria signed the experienced Greek coach Pavlos Dermitzakis as the club's new manager.[5] During 2020–21, Veria participated again in Football League championship as the one league, two groups plan for Super League 2 didn't go through due to a court order by the referee judges' court.[6] Veria competed in north group where they finished 1st and won the promotion to Super League 2 for next season as champions. In the summer transfer window prior to the championship beginning and having as a goal to win the league, the club signed some significant players including Apostolos Skondras, Michalis Boukouvalas and Markos Vellidis that helped to achieve the club's goal.

2021–: Super League 2

After winning the promotion to Super League 2, the club announced the renewal of Pavlos Dermitzakis' contract as head coach for the club in July 7th, 2021.[7] During the 2021 summer transfer window, Veria announced some significant players including Giannis Mystakidis, Petros Orfanidis and Thanasis Dinas. During the winter transfer window of the same season Veria signed the Albanian midfielder Ergys Kace.[8] On April 27, Veria beat in an away game the team of Thesprotos with score 1–3 in the 33rd round of the league and secured the 1st place of the North group, qualifying for the promotional play off round where they'll face the winner of South group, Levadiakos and they were also named champions of their divisional group. Veria lost both games against Levadiakos to 1–0 score and qualified to the play out round of Super League Greece were they will face Lamia as their last chance to win promotion this year. Veria defeated at home 1–2 and after an away 1–1 draw at Lamia failed to achieve promotion to the top tier division.

On June 30, 2022, Bikas Group announced that the club is for sale and that they are immediately leaving the club after being disappointed by the club's failure to promote to Super League Greece blaming the Hellenic Football Federation for allowing only 1 team out of 34 to promote directly to the top tier division of the Greek football through play off games. Veria was crowned champion of the North Group of Super League 2 after 34 matchdays but was forced to participate in play off games with the South Group winner for the promotion to Super League. Under their leadership the club won 3 league titles in 4 seasons while they were forced to stay in the same division despite being champions twice.[9]

On July 14, 2022, Veria's board informed head coach Pavlos Dermitzakis that they won't be renewing his contract.[10]
