The 2014–15 season was the 88th season in ACF Fiorentina's history and their 77th season in Serie A. The club competed in Serie A, finishing fourth, and reached the semi-finals in both the Coppa Italia and UEFA Europa League; in the latter competition they were eliminated 5–0 on aggregate by eventual champions Sevilla.

The season was coach Vincenzo Montella's third and final season with the club – as well as third consecutive fourth-placed finish – as he would be sacked and replaced by former Juventus player Paulo Sousa in the 2015–16 pre-season. Slovenian player Josip Iličić finished as top scorer in the league with eight goals, while Iličić and German international and former Bayern Munich player Mario Gómez together finished as top scorers in all competitions, with ten goals each.

Season review

The 2014–15 season saw Fiorentina compete on three fronts as they did the previous season, with one improvement being that they qualified automatically to the group stage of the Europa League (rather than having to traverse a qualifying round) due to the fact that the previous season's Coppa Italia winners Napoli qualified to the Champions League.

Source: 2014–15 Serie A, 2014-15 Serie A classification.[5]
Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) head-to-head points; 3) head-to-head goal difference; 4) goal difference; 5) number of goals scored; 6) draw. (Head-to-head record is applied for clubs with the same number of points only once all matches between said clubs have been played.).[6]
Notes:

Since the winners of the 2014–15 Coppa Italia (Juventus) qualified for European competition based on league position, the spot awarded to the cup winners (Europa League group stage) was passed to the fifth-placed team and the spot originally meant for the fifth-placed team (Europa League third qualifying round) was given to the highest placed team that has obtained an UEFA license and not already qualified for European competition.
Genoa failed to obtain a UEFA license from Italian Football Federation. Therefore, they were barred to participate in European competitions.[2] Genoa appealed the decision, but the appeal was denied.[3][4]

[table_note_res_ELG0.79291508663116-2] Since the winners of the 2014–15 Coppa Italia (Juventus) qualified for European competition based on league position, the spot awarded to the cup winners (Europa League group stage) was passed to the fifth-placed team and the spot originally meant for the fifth-placed team (Europa League third qualifying round) was given to the highest placed team that has obtained an UEFA license and not already qualified for European competition.

[table_note_GEN0.79291508663116-6] Genoa failed to obtain a UEFA license from Italian Football Federation. Therefore, they were barred to participate in European competitions.[2] Genoa appealed the decision, but the appeal was denied.[3][4]
