The 2013-14 campaign delivered a triumphant return to the top flight for Palermo, with the Rosanero clinching the Serie B championship and securing immediate promotion back to Serie A after just one season. Following an early managerial change, the team found sensational form under Giuseppe Iachini, dominating the league and securing the title in record time with five games to spare. Spearheading the attack was the clinical Abel Hernández, whose 14 crucial goals fired a talented side that also featured a young Paulo Dybala. It was a historic, dominant campaign that signaled a dramatic resurgence for the club.
