In the 2002–03 season, SBV Excelsior faced relegation from the Eredivisie. Under coach Adrie Koster, they finished 17th and were forced into the promotion/relegation playoffs, where they were defeated by FC Volendam and FC Emmen, sealing their drop to the Eerste Divisie. The team also reached the quarter-finals of the KNVB Cup but lost 1-3 to FC Utrecht. Top scorer Saïd Boutahar netted 9 goals. Koster left after the season, blamed for the team's poor post-winter form.

In the second division, Excelsior faced teams like De Graafschap and Heracles Almelo, finishing third in Group B. FC Volendam was relegated from the Eredivisie. In the cup, Excelsior reached the third round but lost 0-2 to city rivals Sparta Rotterdam, having previously beaten FC Vinkenslag (0-5) and VVV-Venlo (2-0).

Striker Mounir El Hamdaoui was the top scorer with 17 goals in 33 league matches but caused issues for Van Stee. The coach had to bench him twice due to clashes over El Hamdaoui's attitude, which Van Stee deemed unprofessional, and he temporarily trained with the second team after an escalation in early October.
