Rav Tzadok Hacohen asks this very question. He explains that in Tikunei Zohar there is a reference to the 14 days of Pesach. The first 7 being for the Pesach of Yitzias Mitzrayim, and followed by another seven days for the Next (acharon) redemption. he refers to the final one starting right after the first seven days. Hence, the Pesach Acharon starts the day after our regular Pesach = Acharon shel Pesach
