A.C. Fiorentina had its first season under Swedish coach Sven-Göran Eriksson, posting a stable mid-table season. Eriksson's compatriot Glenn Hysén arrived from UEFA Cup champions IFK Göteborg, the centre half becoming a crucial player for La Viola. Starlet Roberto Baggio finally got his breakthrough, scoring six league goals.
