Season summary

Despite leading Torino to promotion to Serie A the previous season, manager Gianni De Biasi was sacked 3 days before the start of the season. Alberto Zaccheroni came to Torino after two years of unemployment to take the helm. Six consecutive defeats led to Zaccheroni being sacked and De Biasi being reinstated as manager. Torino ultimately finished in 16th, avoiding relegation and an immediate return to Serie B by one point.

Kit

Sampdoria's kit was manufactured by Kappa and sponsored by Genovese energy company Edoardo Raffinerie Garrone.
