Season summary

Michael Henke failed to replicate his success as Bayern Munich assistant manager and was soon sacked with Kaiserslautern in relegation danger. Wolfgang Wolf was unable to arrest the decline and Kaiserslautern's 9-year stay in the Bundesliga - which had seen a Champions League quarter-final, UEFA Cup semi-final, DFB-Pokal final, and a league title - came to an end.
