The 2015-16 campaign was a tense, dramatic fight for survival for 1860 Munich, with Die Löwen ultimately finishing a precarious 15th in the 2. Bundesliga, narrowly escaping the relegation play-offs for the second straight season. Amid a turbulent year that saw three different managers, forward Rubin Okotie's 8 goals proved vital, bolstered by the crucial late-season goals from Sascha Mölders and Michael Liendl that secured their status. It was a year defined by on-pitch anxiety and off-field drama, but one which marked a desperate, successful battle to cling on to their second-tier position.
