The 2013-14 campaign delivered a devastating outcome for Nurnberg as Der Club spectacularly burnt out, finishing a crushing 17th in the Bundesliga and suffering relegation to the second tier. The season, however, was defined by the stunning individual brilliance of young Swiss striker Josip Drmić, whose 17 goals proved decisive and marked him as a breakout star in their desperate, yet ultimately unsuccessful, fight for survival. It was a dark and frustrating year where Drmić's prolific form was tragically in vain, and it remains an unforgettable and painful chapter in the modern history of Der Club.
