Despite that, AEK won the Greek Super League and the Greek Cup and Stanković played in all 8 Greek cup games, keeping 6 clean sheets and having a great performance in the final against PAOK. Stanković played in both legs against Dinamo Zagreb and AEK advanced to the Champions League play off round with an aggregate score of 4-3. During the 23/24 season Stanković participated in the group stages of the Europa League. He had two very good games against Brighton in Falmer Stadium and Ajax in Agia Sophia Stadium, but AEK finished 4th in their respective group. Cican Stankovic reached 50 league appearances with AEK Athens in the away game vs Lamia in March. In this game, he kept a clean sheet and he provided an assist to Levi Garcia, who scored a superb goal from distance.
