The 2014-15 campaign was a season of vital consolidation for Bari, known as Galletti, as they finished a respectable 10th in Serie B, the first full season under the new ownership led by Gianluca Paparesta following the club's dramatic financial rescue. Leading the charge was prolific striker Francesco Caputo, whose 10 goals proved crucial in a campaign built on a mid-season managerial change that saw Davide Nicola take the helm. It was a crucial year that marked a definitive move towards stability and re-establishing their place as a competitive force in the Italian second tier.
