The Grêmio started the season using a top squad of his academy, the under-20s team, at the beginning of the Campeonato Gaúcho, because the first team squad extended its pre-season for Copa Libertadores de América. Despite starting with the under-20s, Grêmio came with confidence to the final of the Campeonato Gaúcho. However, was defeated 6-2 on aggregate to their biggest rival, the Internacional, due to the wear of their players who compete simultaneously the Copa Libertadores.
In Copa Libertadores, Grêmio came to Round of 16 with the second best overall campaign competition among 32 teams, although she was in the second phase in the known group of death. In the Round of 16 your opponent was the San Lorenzo, and, with injuries to three of their main players, Luan, Wendell and Rhodolfo, Grêmio was eliminated in a penalty shootout decision.
On April 20, the Grêmio debuted in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A against Atlético-PR, with a 1-1 draw. In this game and the next, the club did not use its major players to still be prioritizing the Libertadores. To stop for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, in the 9th fixture, Grêmio got 15 points from 27 played, getting 6th position in the table. During the stoppage, the club was strengthened by bringing four new players for the sequence of the season, being the main names Giuliano and Fernandinho. On July 16, the season resumed with a 0-0 draw against Goiás.
On July 27, after a 3-2 home loss to Coritiba, the board of directors decided to release Enderson Moreira. With that, the under-20's team head coach André Jardine was promoted to caretaker until a new head coach is hired. Two days later, Grêmio signed with Luiz Felipe Scolari, who headed the Brazil national team during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, as their new manager, making his debut against the rival Internacional, by the 14th fixture of the Série A, with a 2-0 away loss.
