The 2001-02 campaign was one of necessary consolidation for Vicenza as the Biancorossi secured a respectable 9th-place finish in Serie B following their relegation from the top flight. Leading the charge was the prolific centre-forward Massimo Margiotta, whose 15 crucial league goals proved vital in stabilizing the club in the second tier. It was a year that saw Vicenza successfully regroup and remains a solid chapter in their modern history.
