The 2015-16 campaign delivered a season of hard-fought consolidation for Bologna as the Rossoblu secured a crucial 14th-place finish in Serie A, their first season back in the top flight. The campaign was defined by a critical managerial change, with Roberto Donadoni arriving in October to successfully steer the club clear of the relegation zone. Leading the line was striker Mattia Destro, whose 8 goals proved vital for the side. It was a successful year that marked the club's permanent re-establishment in the elite and remains a defining chapter in Bologna's modern history.
