The team started well the season in Liga I, leading until the seventh day, but a run of five matches without win ended their challenge.

The team came closest to silverware in the Romanian Cup, reaching the final, only to lose against its biggest rival, FC Steaua București.

Dinamo started the season with a new manager, Ioan Andone, brought back in charge after five years.

The first official game was in the UEFA Europa League, against Moldavian side FC Olimpia Bălţi.

The team won both games against its biggest rivals, Steaua, gained four points in the games against the other rivals from Bucharest, Rapid, but failed to win against smaller teams like Astra Ploieşti, Universitatea Cluj and Pandurii Târgu Jiu.
