Dusseldorf loses 0-3 to Greuther Fürth on the 34th matchday and is thus relegated to the third division after 17 years. The Rhinelanders had started the season as promotion candidates under coach Daniel Thioune, but during the course of the season, they became a basement dweller. In October, the club parted ways with the popular coach, and under Markus Anfang, Fortuna's decline continued. In April, Alexander Ende became the third head coach of the season, but he also failed to turn things around. The loss to Greuther Fürth was the end of a bitter season for Dusseldorf. Felix Klaus, who played for Dusseldorf for four and a half years, scored in the second minute, and Elias Egouli scored an own goal. Noel Futkeu made it 3-0 in the 36th minute, and thus the fate was sealed. Dusseldorf must now begin the rebuilding process in the 3rd league, and no one can seriously say how long this will take. The team lacked stability throughout the season, and this was also evident in Fürth. Alexander Ende had said before the game that this was the most important game of his coaching career, but his team could not win. Cedric Itten, the suspended striker, was missing, and with him, any serious threat upfront. The future of Dusseldorf is uncertain, but one thing is sure: the club must reorganize and find a way out of the third division. The fans hope for a quick return to the 2nd Bundesliga, but this will not be easy. Dusseldorf must face the new challenge and give everything to return to the 2nd Bundesliga.
