The 2015-16 campaign was a devastating season of chaos for Livorno as the Amaranto were spectacularly relegated, finishing a crushing 20th in Serie B and dropping to the third tier. Despite starting with early promotion promise and title ambitions, the season was defined by extreme instability, with the club cycling through five different head coaches. Leading the desperate fight to survive was the talismanic forward Daniele Vantaggiato, whose 15 crucial league goals proved his immense value amidst the turmoil. It was a turbulent, heartbreaking year that marked a painful decline for the club.
