Season summary
Having won the title the past two seasons running, Liège were looking to make it a hat-trick of title, but very quickly fell off the title pace. Manager László Bölöni resigned in February with the club 19 points adrift of leaders Anderlecht. He was replaced by Dominique D'Onofrio, brother of club vice-president Lucien and Liège's former technical director between 2002 and 2006. However, form failed to improve and the club finished in eighth, two points adrift of the title play-offs - as a result, failing to qualify for European competition.
Kit
