Bayern Munich went into the 2006–07 season with head coach Felix Magath.
On 1 February 2007, Magath was sacked after disappointing domestic results including a third round exit from the cup.
Bayern hosted Borussia Dortmund in the opener of the 44th Bundesliga season on 11 August 2006.
On the last day of play, on 19 May 2007, they won against Mainz 05, finishing in the fourth place, a position they held almost all through the second half of the season.
Their opponents in Group B were Spartak Moscow, Sporting CP and Internazionale.
