It was a season of two halves for Hannover 96 in 2014/15. Die Roten sat in the UEFA Champions League spots after Matchday 11, with designs on a European place as the Rückrunde kicked off. A run of 15 games without a win after the turn of the year, however, left not only those hopes in tatters but also the Lower Saxons in a genuine relegation battle. A lack of goals beyond outgoing captain Lars Stindl and an unsettled defence were the main causes of their decline with only back-to-back victories under new coach Michael Frontzeck in their final two games staving off the drop.
