The Legacy
Claudio Ranieri managed Fiorentina to a ninth-place finish in Serie A in 1996-1997. Gabriel Batistuta anchored the attack with Sammontana as the front sponsor, while Manuel Rui Costa provided the creative spark in midfield alongside Francesco Baiano. Reebok produced the club's gear throughout this campaign. The side also competed in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, reaching the semi-finals before losing to eventual winners Barcelona. Despite the league placing, Batistuta’s prolific scoring and the tactical cohesion instilled by Ranieri made this a notable year for the club in Italian football.
