The 2014–15 season was Torino Football Club's 104th season of competitive football, 87th season in the top division of Italian football and 70th season in Serie A.

Season overview

Fabio Quagliarella, back at Torino after nine years

In the 2014–15 season Torino returned to one of the major European competitions after two decades, with a new starting line in attack: the club sold its attacking duo of the previous year, Alessio Cerci - Ciro Immobile, replacing them with Fabio Quagliarella - who grew up playing for Torino and returned after nine years - and the Brazilian Amauri. In the winter transfer window the Argentine Maxi López would also be added. The rest of the squad would see, primarily, the additions of Cristian Molinaro and Bruno Peres.

In Serie A the team had a subdued start, perhaps by the departure of the attack during the summer;[2] in particular, the unfortunate loss in the derby on 30 November (1–2) at the Juventus Stadium in injury time despite a numerical advantage and the goal of Peres, a coast to coast effort, running with the ball for 80 meters, which ended Torino's goal drought in the derby after twelve long years.[3] After a turnaround in the league and 12 consecutive useful results obtained (thanks to the excellent performance of the central defender Kamil Glik), Torino, on 26 April 2015, won the derby 2–1 against La Vecchia Signora after 20 years.[4]

In Coppa Italia the Piedmont club came into play directly in the knockout stage and were immediately eliminated at the hands of Lazio (1–3).[5] Torino were more fruitful in the Europa League, where the team qualified finishing second of their group, progressing to the round of 16 after eliminating, in the round of 32, the Basques of Athletic Bilbao - achieving a 3–2 victory on 26 February at the San Mamés, a first for an Italian team in Bilbao[6]-: Here Torino was eliminated the Russians of Zenit, failing to reverse the defeat in St. Petersburg in the first leg (0–2) with an irrelevant return home win (1–0).[7]
