The 1990-91 campaign was a season of ultimate heartbreak for Bologna as the Rossoblu spectacularly slumped to a devastating 18th-place finish in Serie A, resulting in their relegation to Serie B. Despite the turmoil, the season was highlighted by the attacking contributions of Swiss forward Kubilay Türkyilmaz, whose 9 league goals provided a rare bright spot. The club also managed a memorable run in the UEFA Cup, reaching the Quarter-finals before falling to Sporting CP, an adventure that contrasted sharply with their domestic failure and remains a nostalgic memory for supporters.
