Notes
  • [M] In the 2010–11 season Branislav Milačić took over the helm at Mogren in April two months before end of season. He led the team on Matchdays 25–33 and clinched the title on the last day of the season on 28 May 2011.
  • B In the 2017–18 season Nikola Jurčević took over Dinamo Zagreb from Mario Cvitanović in March, and won the title with 3 games to play in May. He was sacked with only one league fixture left to play and replaced with Nenad Bjelica.
  • C The 2019–20 season was another turbulent season for Dinamo. Following the Covid-19 lockdown in March, coach Bjelica was sacked in late April. He was replaced by Dinamo's youth coach Igor Jovićević and under him the club clinched the 2019–20 league title on 20 June 2020 with a draw against Gorica on Matchday 30, with six games left to play. However, following a 2–0 defeat to rivals Rijeka on Matchday 33, Jovićević too was sacked on 6 July 2020 and replaced by Zoran Mamić for the last three fixtures of the season.

Super Cup winners edit

The Romanian Football Super Cup (Romanian: Supercupa României) is the third trophy available to clubs in the Romanian football system. Introduced in 1994, the super cup is a single match contested by previous season's league and cup holders. The game is usually played at the beginning of the following football season, in July.

From 1994 to 2008 the Super Cup was played intermittently, only when the two major domestic competitions were won by different clubs, i.e. it was not played in the event of a Double. For this reason, the match did not take place in 1996, 1997, 2000, 2004, and 2008. From 2009 onward, the rules were changed so that in case of a Double the match is contested by previous season's Liga I champions vs. runners-up.
