The 2015-16 campaign saw Il Toro secure a 12th-place finish in Serie A, a respectable mid-table conclusion that marked the end of manager Giampiero Ventura's five-year era before he took the Italy national team job. The season was truly defined by the arrival and exciting emergence of the young forward Andrea Belotti, who scored 12 crucial league goals, establishing himself as the club's new talisman. Bolstered by the brief, emotional loan return of fan-favorite Ciro Immobile, and anchored by experienced players like the departing captain Kamil Glik and the dynamic full-back Bruno Peres, the campaign was a year of transition. It remains a memorable chapter as it provided the launchpad for Belotti's legendary career with the Granata.
