The 1995-96 campaign delivered a devastating end for Torino as Il Toro finished a crushing 16th in Serie A, which resulted in relegation to the second tier. Leading the desperate fight was the powerful striker Ruggiero Rizzitelli, whose 11 goals proved crucial but ultimately not enough in a campaign built on struggle and inconsistency. It was a dark and painful year that marked the end of the club's four-season stay in the top flight and remains a defining chapter in the club's history.
