Half of the master squad had to leave. Twelve new players were hired, mostly by third-division scoopers. Coach Patrick Glöckner had been dismissed on the penultimate round of the season, as the leaders saw the rise with only one win from four games in danger.
In the last game champion Jürgen Kohler, who is actually responsible for the U19 of the club, the Viktoria and made with a 1-0 victory against Gladbach II, the rise clear. Pavel Dotchev, who coached Hansa Rostock until the last winter break, was then presented as the new coach. Dotchev likes to play offensive football with high pressing. In recent years, however, the defensive has always been the showpiece of the black and white red.
At the start of the new season, Coach Dotchev met his former club. The coach introduced with Mesenhöler, Kyere and Ristl three newcomers in the starting eleven. Already after 19 minutes the guests were 0: 3 behind. Bunjaku kept alive the hope of Cologne with his goal before the break.

In the Regionalliga season 2018/19 the club was started with 15 wins at a stretch. Previously, the sky blue had already played seven years in a row in the 3rd league. After a major change had already been made in 2018, there was not so much coming and going before the new season. Daniel Frahn and Dejan Bozic, who together scored 45 goals in the regional league, were held. However, captain Dennis Grote moved to RW Essen.
