A.C. Fiorentina had its best season for a long time, finishing tied for third in Serie A, plus winning Coppa Italia following a clear double victory over Atalanta in the final. Strengthened by Stefan Schwarz and Michele Serena, Fiorentina was able to concede a lot less goals than previously, but even though Rui Costa and Gabriel Batistuta continued their special partnership, the goals did not come with such ease as the year before.
