Despite winning the league title in his first season, Kuhn was sacked by the club on 19 November.

On the domestic stage, Malmö FF won their 19th Swedish championship after winning the league title again after a one-year wait.

The club also reached their first Svenska Cupen final since 1996 but ultimately finished as runners-up after losing on penalties to BK Häcken, having been 2–0 up at half-time.

For the first time since the cup changed format, Malmö FF failed to qualify for next season's group-stage after losing to tier three club Landskrona BoIS in the second round of qualifications.
