The 2018-19 campaign delivered a devastating end for Nurnberg as Der Club finished a crushing 18th in the Bundesliga, resulting in an immediate relegation back to the 2. Bundesliga. Leading the charge, but ultimately unable to arrest the slide, were joint top scorers Mikael Ishak and Hanno Behrens, whose four goals each highlighted a season tragically defined by a painful lack of attacking firepower. It was a turbulent and unforgettable year that marked a difficult chapter in the club's modern history.
