The 2016-17 campaign delivered a devastating end for Palermo as the Rosanero finished a crushing 19th in Serie A, resulting in relegation after a season of unprecedented chaos. Despite a revolving door of five different managers and a change in presidency, forward Ilija Nestorovski’s 11 league goals were a solitary beacon of quality. It was a turbulent, unforgettable year that marked a devastating end to their top-flight spell and remains a painful chapter in the Rosanero's modern history.
