IFK Göteborg had a largely disappointing season, finishing in the bottom half of Allsvenskan, also letting go of highly rated Norwegian coach Arne Erlandsen, only for his successor Reine Almqvist to endure an even worse run of results, which saw him being let go after the season, too.

The club was also embroiled in controversy, as Peter Ijeh and Stefan Selaković were among with club director Mats Persson and an accountant trialled for tax evasion with regards to sign-on fees. In the end, Persson was sentenced to jail, while Selaković escaped that punishment, but was still convicted.
