Even Heynckes could not fix it: In 2006/07, Borussia were knocked out of the DFB Cup in round two by regional-league side VfL Osnabrück. The misery continued in the league. After a disappointing first half of the season, the team stood in the relegation zone with only 15 points.\n\nCoach Jupp Heynckes, brought back with high expectations for a second spell, resigned on January 31, 2007 because of the sporting failure and after receiving death threats.
Assistant coach Jos Luhukay took over and managed just two wins and four draws from the final 15 games.
