AIK returned to the top flight in emphatic fashion, finishing just one point adrift of champions Elfsborg. Led by unproven coach Rikard Norling, the club has resurged quickly since the 2004 relegation, winning Superettan, and then coming close to winning the top flight-title . Superettan signings Wílton Figueiredo and Markus Jonsson quickly adjusted to Allsvenskan, both being key men in the title chase.
