# 2014–15 FC Karpaty Lviv season

The 2014–15 FC Karpaty Lviv season was the 52nd season in club history.

## Review and events

On 15 June 2014 FC Karpaty gathered at club's base for medical inspection after vacations and were introduced a new manager, Igor Jovićević, few days later. On 1 July 2014 Karpaty went for two and half week long pre-season training camp in Slovenia with seven friendly matches scheduled.
On contrary to the previous season club decided to use their own young players rather than experienced loanees, thus losing all attacking potential before the start of season, including such crucial players as Oleksandr Hladkyi, Sergei Zenjov and Mladen Bartulović who together scored 26 out of the 32 Karpaty goals in 2013–14 Ukrainian Premier League.
