Under manager Horst Köppel, Borussia Dortmund competed in the Bundesliga, finishing 10th, a mid-table season marked by inconsistency. The squad featured key players such as Michael Zorc, Karl-Heinz Riedle, and goalkeeper Eike Immel, blending emerging attacking talent with experienced leadership at the back. Dortmund displayed moments of attacking flair but struggled with defensive organization and consistency, which prevented a higher league finish. In domestic cup competitions, they made moderate progress but did not secure any trophies. The season reflected a team in transition, building the foundations for greater stability and eventual success in the early and mid-1990s under Hitzfeld.
