Season summary

After several seasons in midtable, Die Löwen's 10-season stay in Germany's top flight ended with a 17th place finish and relegation. Manager Falko Götz had been sacked in April, with former 1860 player Gerald Vanenburg juggling his duties as manager of PSV's youth team to replace him, but he was unable to save the club from the drop. After relegation, Rudolf Bommer, who had led fellow Bavarian club SV Wacker Burghausen to promotion to the 2. Bundesliga and consecutive 10th place finishes in that division, was tasked with obtaining promotion.

Kit

The club's kits were manufactured by Nike and sponsored by German motor oil company Liqui Moly.
