The 2017-18 season is Dinamo Zagreb's 27th season in the Croatian First Division and 105th year in existence as a football club. This is the first season since 2006 that Dinamo Zagreb failed to qualify for the group stages of a European competition. Mario Cvitanović was the manager of the club and had moved to club to 1st position, going unbeaten for 21 league games, but after two abysmal performances against rivals HNK Rijeka and feeder-club NK Lokomotiva, both of which were defeats by a score of 4-1, he ultimately resigned as manager of the club on 10 March 2018. Nikola Jurčević then took over as head coach, returning to Dinamo, having managed them in the 2003-04 season. Dinamo confirmed the title following Rijeka and Hajduk's draws with Cibalia and Osijek, respectively. However, on 14 May, another poor form resulted in Nikola Jurčević's dismissal as manager, being head coach for just 65 days. After much speculation, Nenad Bjelica took over as manager, signing a reported two-year contract. He won the Croatian Football Cup with the club, beating Hajduk Split in the final. This season was a major success for Dinamo, as the club won the domestic double. On 6 June 2018, the former executive director and advisor of the club, Zdravko Mamić, was sentenced to a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence for corruption. On the same day, the club released a statement on their official website, in which they claimed that they were shocked with the verdict, also claiming that they firmly believe that Zdravko Mamić and the others who were sentenced are innocent.
