The 2015-16 campaign delivered a season of sharp decline for Vicenza as the Biancorossi slumped to a 13th-place finish in Serie B, having narrowly missed promotion just a year prior. The turbulence of the campaign saw a mid-season change in the dugout, with Pasquale Marino replaced by Franco Lerda. Leading the line was the newly-signed Montenegrin centre-forward Filip Raičević, whose 10 crucial goals proved vital in a tough year built on grit and desperation to steer clear of the relegation play-offs. Though it was a transitional season that saw the club welcome loanees like a young Roberto Gagliardini, the enduring support of the faithful at the Stadio Romeo Menti remains a testament to this difficult but defining chapter.
