The 2014-15 campaign was a season of significant transition and renewed ambition for Boca Juniors. After a turbulent start that saw the departure of manager Carlos Bianchi, the appointment of Rodolfo Arruabarrena in August successfully stabilized Xeneizes, guiding the team to a respectable 5th-place finish in the Primera División Transición tournament. Leading the charge in the league was the emerging young striker Jonathan Calleri, whose 6 goals made him the side's top scorer. The season was also defined by a deep and emotionally charged run to the Copa Sudamericana Semifinals, which ended in a dramatic defeat to arch-rivals River Plate. It was a crucial transitional year that laid the foundation for the club's subsequent domestic success.
