The 2003-04 campaign was a season of consolidation for Torino as Il Toro finished 12th in an expanded, 24-team Serie B, ultimately falling short of a promotion challenge. The attack was anchored by the club's legendary centre-forward, Marco Ferrante, whose 13 goals proved his enduring value in what would sadly be his final season after a long and prolific spell. This transitional year, played out amidst the turbulence of the "Caso Catania," is a defining chapter remembered by the Granata faithful as the swan song of one of their most iconic modern goalscorers.
