FC Kaiserslautern competed in the Bundesliga. Season summary With Kaiserslautern in the relegation zone and eliminated from the Intertoto Cup, manager Andreas Brehme was sacked. After a brief caretaker spell under his assistant manager, Karl-Heinz Emig, former PSV Eindhoven manager Eric Gerets was recruited. Although the defense was improved, conceding only 3 goals more all season than in the championship season of 1998, the attacking record suffered and Kaiserslautern finished 14th, 4 points ahead of the relegation zone. However, the team did make a run to the final of the DFB-Pokal; despite a 3–1 defeat to double winners Bayern Munich, the team qualified again for the UEFA Cup.
