The 2010-11 campaign for Fiorentina delivered a mid-table consolidation as La Viola finished a respectable 9th in Serie A under new manager Siniša Mihajlović. Leading the attack was the ever-reliable centre-forward Alberto Gilardino, whose 12 league goals were vital for the side. It was a season of transition featuring established stars like captain Riccardo Montolivo, Juan Manuel Vargas, and Adrian Mutu, alongside the emergence of young attacking talent like Alessio Cerci. This campaign successfully stabilized the club's position in the top flight, marking their sixth consecutive season in Serie A.
