Under manager Giovanni Trapattoni, Fiorentina competed in Serie A, finishing 7th, narrowly missing out on European qualification. The squad featured stars like Gabriel Batistuta, Enrico Chiesa, and Francesco Toldo, blending prolific attacking talent with a reliable goalkeeper and solid midfield. Fiorentina showcased offensive strength, with Batistuta leading the line and Chiesa providing support, but defensive inconsistencies and occasional lapses limited their ability to challenge for the Scudetto. In domestic cups, Fiorentina had moderate success, reaching the latter stages of the Coppa Italia but failing to claim silverware. The season reflected a team capable of high-quality football yet needing greater consistency.
