Season summary

Between the end of spring and the beginning of summer, Torino changed his chairman: Mario Gerbi replaced Sergio Rossi.[1] Foreign contingent was also substituted, with Anton Polster and Klaus Berggreen called to do not make regret Wim Kieft and Leo Junior.[2] Polster copied the former striker, throwing several balls in net during his initial appearances.[3] Torino knocked out the citizen rivals in domestic cup but lost the final in face of Sampdoria.[4] En other, Juventus got a heavier revenge: due to equal points in league (31) it needs a play-off for last UEFA Cup spot, awarded in a match that "bianconeri" won on shoot-out.[5]
