Season summary edit

Kaiserslautern suffered their worst season since the inception of the Bundesliga. A mere two years after coming within a point of winning the title, they were relegated in 16th place. Although they only lost 10 league games all season - as many as runners-up Bayern Munich - they also only won 6 of those remaining 24 games, the second-worst in the division. There was a silver lining to this season, as Kaiserslautern won the DFB-Pokal for only the second time in their history, ensuring a sixth appearance in European competition in the past seven seasons. Otto Rehhagel, recently ousted from Bayern Munich, was given the task of returning Kaiserslautern to the Bundesliga.
