Season summary
Although Kaiserslautern's form improved, 7th place was still too far away from promotion for the board's liking, and manager Milan Šašić departed in early May, days after a 1–5 defeat to Hansa Rostock. 1. FC Kaiserslautern II manager Alois Schwartz acted as caretaker for the remainder of the season. Marco Kurz was hired as his permanent replacement.[2]
