The 2020-21 campaign was a turbulent and frustrating one for Fiorentina, seeing La Viola slump to a disappointing 13th-place finish in Serie A despite the new owner's ambition. The defining highlight was the spectacular breakout of young striker Dušan Vlahović, whose 21 league goals earned him the Serie A Best Young Player award and decisively kept the club out of a relegation battle. Despite managerial changes and an overall lack of creativity, the season is fondly remembered for the epic 3-0 away victory against rivals Juventus, a rare moment of delight in an otherwise forgettable chapter.
