VfL Wolfsburg won their first ever Bundesliga title during this season. Manager Felix Magath formed an attacking lineup, which included strikers Edin Džeko and Grafite, the pair scoring 54 goals between them, much due to the help of attacking midfielder Zvjezdan Misimović's 20 assists.

The title successes were Thomas Schaaf's first in his managerial career. Werder, however, lost both Aílton and defensive senior talisman Mladen Krstajić to FC Schalke 04, since both refused to sign new contracts with the club.

VfL Wolfsburg only just saved the contract to stay in Bundesliga, for the second year running. In sharp contrast to the miserable league season, Wolfsburg reached the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal, where they went out in a narrow defeat to eventual league champions Stuttgart.

VfL Wolfsburg had their best season yet in the Bundesliga under new coach Felix Magath. The double Bundesliga-winning coach from Bayern Munich improved the fortunes of Wolfsburg from a relegation-threatened side to a fifth place-finish. This was just the start of a sensational ascent to the top of German football, culminating in a shock title win the season afterwards. New signings Diego Benaglio, Josué, Grafite and Edin Džeko were all successful and played a big part in the resurgence.
