The 2006-07 campaign was a turbulent season for Feyenoord, as De club aan de Maas finished a disappointing 7th in the Eredivisie and faced major issues off the pitch. Leading the line was the controversial new signing Angelos Charisteas, whose 9 league goals proved vital after the summer departures of star forwards Dirk Kuijt and Salomon Kalou. The season was dramatically defined by the club's administrative expulsion from the UEFA Cup due to supporter misconduct, which remains a low point despite the presence of the Greek Euro 2004 hero in their attack. It was a fraught year that culminated in a late-season managerial change from Erwin Koeman to Leo Beenhakker.
