Season summary[]

Union started the season poorly, picking up just four points from their first five games, and as a result, manager Norbert Düwel was sacked on 31 August 2015.[2] Sascha Lewandowski was appointed as his replacement on 2 September 2015,[3] and the club saw a gradual improvement in results, with the club in 13th place with 23 points from 19 games at the time of the winter break.[4] However, due to health problems, Lewandowski stepped down as manager in March 2016, with André Hofschneider appointed as his replacement on a temporary basis.[5] Union finished the season in 6th place on 49 points.[6]
