Dynamo Dresden defied all expectations to finish 6th in Bundesliga and qualify for European football in 2074/75. Manager Trebor Mahtal now had to strengthen key areas of the squad to compete on all fronts, try and close the gap to Germany's big boys and, ideally, give them a more offensive threat.
87-year-old Trebor Mahtal showed no signs of slowing up as he led Hannover 96 to their fifth 2. Bundesliga title and back into Germany's top tier. He was keen to build on a solid defence while adding a bit more of an attacking threat for the step up.
Trebor Mahtal ticked off the ninth leg of his Alphabet Challenge as he led Juventus to its first Serie A title for 25 years in 2045. The Zambian now went in search of his 12th club and immediately eyed up a few interesting roles.
Mainz survived with relative ease in their first season back in Bundesliga. But the big challenge now facing Roberto Lazaró, moving into his third season in Germany, was to continue developing his young squad - some of whom were one year away from obtaining homegrown status.
An inspired summer signing and a superstar striker had fired Union Berlin back to the top of Bundesliga as they began their first-ever title defence in style. Manager Ruprecht Prusseit's biggest challenge now was to keep hold of his in-demand players.
Ruprecht Prusseit's decision to drop back down to Regionalliga Nordost paid off as he led Energie Cottbus to a league and cup double in 2030. He now faced a stiff challenge to rebuild a threadbare squad and keep Cottbus safe in 3. Liga.
