The 2013-14 campaign delivered a defiant and tragic season for Siena as the Bianconeri battled to a respectable 9th-place finish in Serie B despite beginning the campaign with a crippling eight-point deduction due to financial troubles. Leading the charge was the inspirational attacker Alessandro Rosina, whose crucial 13 goals were vital in a campaign built on the grit of veterans like Simone Vergassola. It was a heroic, hard-fought year that sadly proved to be the club's final season in the professional ranks before administrative relegation and bankruptcy, cementing it as a defining, painful chapter in their 110-year history.
