The 2010-11 campaign saw Empoli, under manager Alfredo Aglietti, consolidate their position in the second tier, finishing a respectable 9th in Serie B. Leading the charge was the prolific forward Claudio Coralli, whose 17 goals proved decisive in a campaign that also featured the emergence of young talents like Riccardo Saponara, Diego Fabbrini, and Roberto Soriano. It was a year built on mid-table stability and Coralli's clinical finishing, marking a solid chapter in the club's patient rebuilding effort.
