The 2005-06 campaign delivered a dramatic, Calciopoli-affected survival for Siena as the Bianconeri ultimately finished 15th in Serie A, securing their top-flight status amidst a national scandal. Leading the attack was the crucial partnership of veteran forward Enrico Chiesa and Erjon Bogdani, who each notched 11 goals. The team's hard-fought finish, secured with 39 points, was ultimately cemented by the subsequent Calciopoli sanctions and points deductions imposed on rival clubs. It was a season of immense on-field tension and off-field controversy that remains a complex and defining chapter in the club's modern history.
