The 2014-15 campaign delivered a spectacular resurgence for AZ Alkmaar as the Cheeseheads secured a vital 3rd-place finish in the Eredivisie. Leading the charge were the dynamic duo of Steven Berghuis and Nemanja Gudelj, whose 11 goals each proved decisive in a campaign built on attacking verve and a thrilling late-season run. It was a season of soaring hope that secured European qualification and remains a defining chapter in the club's modern history.
