AS Roma 1988-89

The Legacy

Nils Liedholm managed AS Roma during his third spell as manager in 1988-1989. The club finished eighth in Serie A as the Barilla-sponsored Ennerre kits remained a fixture on the pitch. Giuseppe Giannini anchored the midfield while Rudi Völler provided the attacking output up front. Alongside defenders like Sebastiano Nela and Lionello Manfredonia, the group navigated a difficult campaign that lacked the trophy returns of the early eighties. The side struggled to find rhythm, ultimately failing to secure a European spot for the following year.
