During the 2008–09 German football season, 1. FC Kaiserslautern competed in the 2. Bundesliga.

Season summary

Although Kaiserslautern's form improved, 7th place was still too far away from promotion for the board's liking, and manager Milan Šašić departed in early May, days after a 1–5 defeat to Hansa Rostock. 1. FC Kaiserslautern II manager Alois Schwartz acted as caretaker for the remainder of the season. Marco Kurz was hired as his permanent replacement.[2]

Kit

The kit was manufactured by Italian company Kapppa and sponsored by Frankfurt-based financial advisors Deutsche Vermögensberatung.
