The 2022-23 campaign delivered a season of immediate ambition and consolidation for Palermo as the Rosanero returned to Serie B for the first time since 2019. Finishing a respectable 9th in the league table, the team laid a vital foundation for their future under the new ownership of the City Football Group. Spearheading the attack was their prolific captain, Matteo Brunori, whose 17 crucial goals anchored the attack in a campaign built on renewed hope and the electrifying passion of the faithful, who filled the Stadio Renzo Barbera with high attendances. It was a defining first chapter in their renewed quest to climb back into the Italian top flight.
