The 2014–15 FC Bayern Munich season was the 116th season in the club's history and the 50th consecutive season in the top flight of German football, the Bundesliga, since their promotion from the Regionalliga Süd in 1965. Bayern participated in the season's editions of the DFB-Pokal, DFL-Supercup and UEFA Champions League. It was the 10th season for Bayern in the Allianz Arena.
Bayern came into the 2014–15 season as the defending Bundesliga champions and defending DFB-Pokal champions. In the 2013–14 season, Bayern were knocked-out of Champions League by eventual winners Real Madrid in the semifinals, losing 5–0 on aggregate. Bayern hired Michael Reschke as Technical Director. This is a new position and will provide "support" for Matthias Sammer, the Sporting Director for Bayern.
Robert Lewandowski,Sebastian Rode,Juan Bernat,Pepe Reina,Medhi Benatia,Xabi Alonso, and Sinan Kurt transferred to Bayern. Lewandowski was the second "key" player within a year to move to Bayern from Borussia Dortmund. Bayern bought Medhi Benatia from Roma for an undisclosed fee.Pep Guardiola wanted to sign another player due to Javi Martínez's injury in the German Super Cup. For this reason, Bayern brought Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid for undisclosed fee. Lukas Raeder,Alessandro Schöpf,Mario Mandžukić,Toni Kroos, and Diego Contento left the club. Contento had been at the club for 19 years. Mandžukić wanted to leave Bayern because the "playing style of coach Pep Guardiola simply does not fit him."Julian Green was loaned out to Hamburger SV and Daniel Van Buyten retired. He had been offered another role at Bayern.
