The 2005-06 campaign for Brescia was a turbulent season of managerial change, with Le Rondinelle finishing 10th in Serie B, just outside the promotion play-off zone. Leading the charge was the clinical striker Salvatore Bruno, whose 13 goals proved crucial. It was a transitional year that saw Zdeněk Zeman take the reins late on, but ultimately marked the club's consolidation in the second tier.
