Manager Felix Magath UEFA Cup Last 16 Intertoto Cup Champions		Bundesliga 2nd DFB-Pokal 2nd Round Top goalscorer Kevin Kurányi (15)

VfB Stuttgart reached the UEFA Champions League for the first time in more than ten years, following a surprising runner-up position in Bundesliga. Coach Felix Magath was hailed as the man behind the success, in his second full season at the helm, managing to unite a squad with lesser-known players to form a side strong enough to overhaul reigning champions Borussia Dortmund for the automatic qualification spot. It was also the breakthrough season of exciting young talents such as Alexander Hleb, Timo Hildebrand and Kevin Kurányi.
