Hoffenheim 2012-13 Away Football Shirt 2XL XXL Puma

The 2012–13 season was a tumultuous one for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, marked by managerial upheaval and a narrow escape from relegation. Despite high-profile signings like goalkeeper Tim Wiese and striker Eren Derdiyok, the team struggled from the outset, including a shocking 4–0 defeat to fourth-tier Berliner AK in the DFB-Pokal's first round. Undergoing multiple managerial changes, Hoffenheim found themselves in 17th place by April. The appointment of Markus Gisdol as head coach revitalized the squad, culminating in a dramatic 2–1 victory over Borussia Dortmund on the final matchday, secured by two late penalties from Sejad Salihović, which propelled them to 16th place and into the relegation play-offs. Hoffenheim then defeated 1. FC Kaiserslautern 5–2 on aggregate in the play-offs, ensuring their Bundesliga survival and concluding a season fraught with challenges on a hopeful note.
