The 2014-15 campaign delivered an unexpected, sensational surge for Genoa as The Griffins, under the dynamic management of Gian Piero Gasperini, secured a fantastic 6th-place finish in Serie A. Playing an exciting and high-scoring 3-4-3 formation, the team was propelled by the crucial 13 goals from Spanish winger Iago Falque. This standout season was defined by the relentless play of midfielder Andrea Bertolacci and the creative brilliance of Diego Perotti, securing a European spot, though the club was ultimately denied a UEFA license. It was a thrilling year built on attacking flair and overachievement that remains a memorable chapter in The Griffins' modern history.
