Associazione Sportiva Roma did not have its best season, dropping into the lower midfield, and only saving its Serie A contract by a few points. New coach Carlos Bianchi failed to get the most out of a prolific squad, and was sacked in the middle of the season, with club advisor Nils Liedholm taking over at the helm for the rest of the championship.
