 The clubs first season back in the Eredivisie saw them finish 10th in the Eredivisie, before the next two seasons saw 6th place finishes for the club, with the latter seeing Den Bosch finish just 3 points off the UEFA Cup qualification places.This success did not last though as they were relegated back to the Eerste Divisie in the 1989–90 season, shortly after the club was renamed B.V.V.Den Bosch in 1988.
