Manias finished the season with 7 goals and 1 assist in 33 games. He was considered as one of team's best players in a season where they managed to collect enough points to stay in the Superleague. At the end of the season Manias was released two years early from the end of his contract because Aris self relegated them self to the 3rd division and he requested to have his contract terminated, as he wanted to continue playing in the top division.

Manias signed a two-year contract with PAS Giannina. He scored his first goal in the 12th round against Niki Volos, also getting an assist in the same game. He had many good performances during the year like scoring against PAOK, a brace against Panthrakikos and the winner over Olympiakos.
