David Nielsen started the season as the manager, but was sacked after league round 10, having only secured 12 points.
[5] He was replaced by the experienced former Norway international Espen Bugge Pettersen, who had become back-up goalkeeper at Molde in the two previous seasons.
[6] In defence, former Norway international Jarl André Storbæk, who had arrived mid-season in 2012 and been crucial to the title win in 2013, left the club after his contract expired, to become playing assistant manager for Nybergsund.
[2][3] Ingebretsen had more luck, and the team won five of their next six matches in the league, rising to 6th position in the table after half the season had been played.
In the cup, Strømsgodset easily won the First and Second Round matches against FK Tønsberg and Kjelsås Fotball, 5–0 and 4–0, respectively.
After a goalless draw in the Third Round, Strømsgodset were surprisingly eliminated by Kvik Halden on a 2-4 penalty shootout.
[15] The original draw had the Albanians playing at home first, but this was reversed by UEFA due to security reasons.
