The 2014–15 season was Feyenoord's 107th season of play, it marked its 59th season in the Eredivisie and its 93rd consecutive season in the top flight of Dutch football. It was first season with manager Fred Rutten. The club was busy during the summer transfer window, selling or releasing of 12 players and signing 13 new players. Feyenoord had a bad start of the season, dropping to 15th place in the league after losing three and drawing two of its first six league games. They played only the second round of the KNVB Cup; they were knocked out by Go Ahead Eagles. The club also lasted a single round in the Champions League; the third qualifying round consisted of two losses to Beşiktaş. They reached the Europa League group stage by beating FC Zorya Luhansk 4–3 at home after an away draw. The team improved after this early showing. A five-game winning streak catapulted them to third place in the Eredivisie by mid fall. They also reached the knockout phase of the Europa League by beating Standard Liège, HNK Rijeka and title holders Sevilla in the group phase. They went into the winter break placed third in the league.

The club started in mediocre form after the winter break, winning three out of six games, while remaining in third place. Their round of 32 match-up in the Europa League against A.S. Roma marked the end of their European campaign; they lost 2–3 on aggregate. This started off a strong showing in the Eredivisie in which they won five out of six games, solidifying their third position in the league. Their season turned sour after this; they only collected two points in the final five games of the season. This skid landed them in fourth place at the end of the season. They lost their play-off match-up with SC Heerenveen for the last remaining European ticket, which means they will only play domestically in the 2015–16 season.

Background

Feyenoord is one of the Big Three football clubs in the Netherlands having played at the highest level of competition uninterrupted since 1921. The previous three seasons the club was coached by Ronald Koeman; he announced his intention to leave the club in February 2014.[1] During these three seasons Feyenoord finished second, third and second in the league, they got ousted from the cup twice in the quarter-finals and once in the third round. Their European campaigns were short-lived with five losses and one draw during these three years. A month after Koeman's announcement, Fred Rutten was presented as the new manager.[2]

The club started their 2013–14 season with three straight league losses and an immediate exit from European football. They got knocked out of the cup in the quarter finals. The team managed to come back from their early 17th league position and climbed to fourth place by the halfway point. They stayed in this position for most of the second half of the season and went on a winning streak to finish the 2013–14 Eredivisie in second place. This position gave the club an entry berth in the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League. Five Feyenoord players from this season were selected for the Dutch squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup – Feyenoord contributed the most players to the Dutch team. Nine out of all World Cup players were trained by Feyenoord; they were the club that contributed most worldwide to develop players for this event.[3]

Review and events

Pre-season

Feyenoord started the pre-season preparations with its first training session on 25 June 2014 in front of 5,000 fans.[4] They beat amateur sides SV Honselersdijk, VOC, FC Horst and ASWH in pre-season friedlies.[5][6][7][8] Graziano Pellè, the top goals scorer of the two previous seasons, transferred to Southampton F.C., managed by Ronald Koeman who coached Feyenoord the previous three seasons, for eight million euros.[9] The club announced they had acquired former international defender Khalid Boulahrouz transfer-free several days later.[10] On 15 July the transfer of Daryl Janmaat to Newcastle United F.C. and Bruno Martins Indi to F.C. Porto was announced, both played as defensive backs the previous season and were bronze medalists in the Dutch squad at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[11][12] The club subsequently played a friendly game away at FC Emmen that resulted in a 2–0 win.[13] They were supposed to play Fortuna Sittard in Echt-Susteren on 19 July, that game got banned in that municipality and was played behind closed doors in Rotterdam, resulting in a Feyenoord win.[14][15] The last pre-season friendly ended in a 1–1 draw at home against Spanish side Real Sociedad; Mitchell te Vrede scored the lone Feyenoord goal.

Feyenoord went up 2–0 at half time after goals by Te Vrede and Schaken. A Luhansk own goal led them to a comfortable 3–0 lead before conceding three successive goals brought them on the verge of elimination.
