Season summary

Hamburg reached the Europa League semi-final for the second season running, but were eliminated by Fulham (thus missing out on the chance to play the final at their home ground). However, a seventh-placed finish in the final table meant that the club would not be competing in Europe for the first time in 7 years. Manager Bruno Labbadia paid for the poor form with his job in late April, with technical coach Ricardo Moniz taking charge for the final two games. Armin Veh was appointed permanent manager in May.
