The 2017-18 campaign was a dramatic fight for survival for Udinese, as the Bianconeri ultimately finished a nervy 14th in Serie A. The season was defined by extreme turbulence, seeing three managers, including Massimo Oddo who was sacked after overseeing a club-record eleven consecutive Serie A defeats. It was Igor Tudor who finally secured safety in the final matches. Leading the attacking charge throughout the chaos was the prolific Kevin Lasagna, whose 12 league goals proved decisive in the desperate battle to avoid the drop, marking an unforgettable chapter in the club's modern history.
