The 2013-14 campaign was a season of frustrating instability for Bursaspor as the Yeşil Timsahlar finished 8th in the Süper Lig. Leading the line was the new Brazilian striker Fernandão, whose 10 goals proved a vital attacking platform in a turbulent year. The season, which saw the arrival and departure of high-profile manager Christoph Daum, was ultimately one of transition for the club, providing a challenging chapter that preceded their run to the Turkish Cup final in the following season.
