At the end of the 2017–18 season, head coach Kent Nielsen got fired.[1] Jakob Michelsen signed a 3-year contract on May 29 as new head coach.[2]
OB finished as 3rd in the Superliga regular season despite starting with the worst opening six games in 19 years.[3] OB finished strong in the last half of the season, among other things by winning five games in a row for the first time since 2009. OB had the chance to win the bronze medal, but could not keep going in the play-offs, and therefore it ended up with a 5th place. They finished off by losing to Brøndby in the last and deciding game of the season, and therefore OB also missed the 4th place and Europa League.
But beside to a disappointing conclusion, OB ended up with the best season in eight years by finishing in the top-6.[4]
