But their celebrations were short-lived after the club finished rock bottom in the debut season and immediately returned to the second tier.

The 2016/17 season brought more misery and the club finished in the relegation zone, but instead of dropping down to the Regonalliga, Paderborn experienced a dramatic twist of fate.

That said, I’m sure they’d settle for a nice, boring mid-table finish next season.
