The Serie A teams of the 2004/05 season

The Serie A 2004/05 was the 73rd season of the highest Italian football -Spielklasse of Lords. It started on September 11, 2004 and ended on May 29, 2005. The Serie A was increased to 20 clubs in the 2004/05 season. Record champions Juventus Turin won the Italian championship title . In 2006, however, the title was subsequently withdrawn due to the exposure of the Italian manipulation scandal. The direct relegated to Serie B included Atalanta Bergamo and Brescia Calcio . The third relegation was determined in the relegation game between FC Parma and FC Bologna . Parma won the game and thereby secured relegation. The top scorer with 24 goals was Cristiano Lucarelli from AS Livorno .

Season course

Title race

The title fight of the Serie A 2004/05 took place mainly between the traditional clubs AC Milan and Juventus Turin. Both teams were able to break away early on and fought a duel for the Scudetto until shortly before the end of the season . On matchday 35, the two clubs met at Milan's Giuseppe Meazza Stadium . Turin won 1-0 under head coach Fabio Capello with a goal from David Trezeguet and thus secured the top of the table. Milan were then unable to take the lead, with the gap between Milan and Juve being seven points in the end.

After a few game days, Inter Milan lost connection to the top of the table. After 15 games in which Inter Milan had twelve draws and three wins, the team finished fourth, more than seventeen points behind league leaders Juventus Turin. At the end of the season, Inter Milan finished third and qualified for the Champions League . In addition to Inter Milan, Udinese Calcio secured fourth place, which entitles them to participate in the Champions League qualification. They were followed by Sampdoria Genua and the newly promoted US Palermo . The second promoted team, FC Messina , also found themselves near the European cup .

After several coach changes (including a short interlude from Rudi Völler ), AS Roma finished eighth at the end of the season and made it into the UEFA Cup as a finalist in the Coppa Italia . A lack of discipline and disputes within the team had sealed the elimination in the preliminary round of the Champions League.

Relegation battle

City rivals Lazio Rome could hardly acquire new entrants due to financial difficulties. Defense chief and top performer Jaap Stam was sold to AC Milan before the start of the season. After a good start, Lazio lost ground and found themselves in the bottom third of the table before Christmas . At the end of the season, the club secured relegation with two points ahead of the relegation places.

After the departure of Chievo coach Luigi Delneri , his successor Mario Beretta was unable to build on the successes of previous years. On matchday 35, three game days before the end of the season, AC Chievo Verona finished 18th, which would have meant relegation to Serie B. With two wins from the last three games, the team managed to stay in the league.

To stay in Serie A, the promoted AC Florence , who was transferred to Serie C1 after relegation and license revocation in 2002 , invested a lot in new staff. After the team had made contact with the European Cups with good results, a 6-0 defeat at the reigning champions AC Milan initiated a series of negative results that brought AC Florence close to the relegation ranks. Shortly before the end of the season, when the club could only win one of twelve games, Florence fell back to the penultimate place in the table. On the final day of the match, the club secured relegation by beating direct rivals Brescia Calcio 3-0.

For Brescia this meant the fall from rank 16 to rank 19 and the associated relegation. At the end of the season, the eighth table AS Roma and the penultimate Brescia Calcio separated only three points. The FC Parma sold many of its performers, which could not be compensated by the lack of money because of an ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. Almost the entire season Parma was on a relegation zone, a 6: 4 home win against AS Livorno and the subsequent 2: 1 home win against AS Roma brought Parma into the relegation games against FC Bologna . After a 0-1 defeat in the first leg, a 2-0 win in the second leg in Bologna won the league in Serie A.

Performing in the European Cup

Once again, an Italian club reached the final of the Champions League. However, AC Milan lost to Liverpool after a 3-0 half-time lead (3: 3 after extra time) on penalties. Juventus Turin had previously failed at Liverpool FC, after a 2-1 defeat in the first leg and a 0-0 draw at home in the quarter-finals. A purely Italian city derby, which ended with a game abandoned, was played between Milan and Inter. The second leg was rated 3-0 for Milan after hooligans started setting off fireworks in the 72nd minute of the game and throwing them onto the field, where Milan goalkeeper Dida was hit. Referee Markus Merk stopped the game in the 75th minute. Inter Milan were fined € 193,000 by UEFA and had to play their next six European home games in front of empty ranks.

AS Roma was noticeable by being sent off four times in six games with unsportsmanlike behavior and was eliminated from the competition in the group games as the bottom of the group with one point. Rudi Völler's Champions League home premiere ended with a game abandoned. With the score 0-1 for Dynamo Kiev, spectators threw a metal object at referee Anders Frisk , who suffered a bleeding wound. The game was then abandoned and UEFA rated Dynamo Kiev 3-0 . In the UEFA Cup, FC Parma advanced to the semi-finals after victories against FC Sevilla and VfB Stuttgart . After a goalless first leg, the Gialloblù lost 3-0 at CSKA Moscow and were eliminated from the competition. Lazio reached the group stage of the newly reformed UEFA Cup and were eliminated from the penultimate without a win. For Udinese Calcio the end came in round one.

    9.8 million spectators attended the games of the 2004/05 season. That was almost two million more than in the previous season, when around eight million fans visited the stadiums of Italy's top division. The three newcomers, AC Florence, FC Messina and US Palermo, which together attracted 1.8 million people to their stadiums, played a decisive role in the higher number of viewers in Serie A. As in previous years, AC Milan topped the audience table, followed by city rivals Inter. A total of 1.5 million spectators flocked to the home games of the Roman clubs Lazio and AS Roma. The fans of the newcomers AC Florence passed the stadium entrances of the Fiorentina more than half a million times . Udinese Calcio was able to show comparatively low attendance figures despite a season in which the qualification for the Champions League was achieved in the end. Less than half of the stadium's capacity wanted to watch the Zebrette games . The relegated Brescia Calcio and AC Siena reported the fewest spectators.

    European comparison 2004/05

    In a direct comparison of spectators with the three strongest leagues in Europe, the German Bundesliga, the English Premier League and the Spanish Primera Division, Serie A was in fourth place. Most recently, investments were made in infrastructure in their own country before the soccer World Cup in 1990 .

    List of goalscorers

    Luca Toni from the newly promoted US Palermo secured his club's participation in the UEFA Cup for the new season with his 20 goals this season
    Romas Francesco Totti finished eighth with his club

    The top scorer in Serie A 2004/05 was Cristiano Lucarelli from newly promoted AS Livorno with 24 goals. Through his goals the new national coach Marcello Lippi noticed him and nominated him for the Squadra Azzurra . As in the previous year, Alberto Gilardino from FC Parma , who scored 23 goals, shot himself in second place . His goals ensured FC Parma stay in the league and at the same time brought them into the sights of the top Serie A clubs and Europe. Gilardino's reward was a contract with AC Milan for the new 2005/06 season. Vincenzo Montella scored 21 goals this season for AS Roma, who qualified as a cup finalist for the UEFA Cup.

    In Europe there was the newcomer from Palermo , who could count on the accuracy of his striker Luca Toni , who scored 21 times in the opposing goal. For the new season, the attacker moved to Fiorentina . Behind Luca Toni were Mirko Vučinić and last season's top scorer, Andrij Shevchenko , who scored 17 goals this season. Zlatan Ibrahimović - in the service of record champions Juventus Turin - scored 16 goals for Turin. Mauro Esposito's 16 goals this season were enough for the newly promoted Cagliari Calcio to stay in Serie A. The same number of goals by Inters Adriano were also not enough for the title under the new coach Roberto Mancini . Together with Christian Vieri , the storm duo Adriano / Vieri scored 29 goals this season. Francesco Totti and Fabrizio Miccoli scored 12 goals each season. Miccoli's penalty on the last matchday against Brescia Calcio was the start of the 3-0 victory, which ultimately secured the league for Fiorentina.

    Dismissal and change of coach

    The first change of coach took place two weeks before the start of the season. Cesare Prandelli , who had taken over the coaching position at AS Roma in the summer from Fabio Capello , who moved to the coaching bench at Juventus Turin, announced his resignation at the end of August for family reasons. The former AS Roma professional Rudi Völler was signed as his successor . On the fourth matchday, Rudi Völler resigned after the 1: 3 defeat in Bologna. Völler's successor was Luigi Delneri , who was sacked shortly before the start of the season at FC Porto . After a 3-0 defeat at the newly promoted US Cagliari and the end in the preliminary round of the Champions League, his contract with AS Roma was terminated. Later Delneri succeeded the outgoing Francesco Guidolin at US Palermo for the new season. Under the leadership of his successor Bruno Conti , AS Roma slipped to eighth place and lost five of the eight remaining games, with one win each. At the end of the season, Conti was replaced by Luciano Spalletti , who led Udinese Calcio as a league champion in qualifying for the Champions League. City rivals Lazio Rome could not sign any significant newcomers due to the poor financial situation, and the club had to sell top performers such as the Dutchman Jaap Stam to competitors such as AC Milan without coach Domenico Caso receiving an equivalent replacement. After a positive start to the season, the team fell in the table and found itself close to the relegation places. Shortly before the turn of the year, the end for coach Caso came. His successor Giuseppe Papadopulo was able to lead Lazio into midfield in tenth place.

    The promoted AC Florence invested many millions in new staff before the start of the season in order to establish themselves in the upper half of the table. After winning the first seven games, Emiliano Mondonico was relieved of his duties. Sergio Buso succeeded him and led the Fiorentina close to the European Cup places. The winning streak was followed by a negative series of six games without a win, including a 6-0 defeat at AC Milan. After a 1: 2 home defeat against AS Roma and the fall to 16th place, Buso was dismissed and the former world champion Dino Zoff committed until the end of the season. Under Zoff, Fiorentina found themselves on the penultimate place in the table on matchday 37 shortly before the end of the season. With a 3-0 win against Brescia Calcio, the Fiorentina remained first class and Brescia was relegated. In Brescia Gianni De Biasi was replaced by Alberto Cavasin , who could not prevent relegation. After a positive start to the season, AC Chievo Verona, under head coach Mario Beretta , also finished lower in the table and fought to stay in the league. On the 35th matchday, after slipping on a relegation zone, Beretta resigned from his offices. Maurizio D'Angelo took over and led the team with two wins and a goalless draw to stay in the league. Newcomers AS Livorno split from coach Franco Colomba on matchday 18 despite a non- relegation zone and appointed Roberto Donadoni , who had already been in charge of Livorno in the 2002/03 season, as the new head coach. He led Livorno to ninth place in the table. At Atalanta Bergamo, the coach change on matchday 14 from Andrea Mandorlini to Delio Rossi after 14 rounds without a win ensured sporting success again, but he could not prevent relegation. Silvio Baldini was removed from office at Parma and passed responsibility on to Pietro Carmignani , who led the club into the relegation games against FC Bologna. Parma retained the upper hand and Carmigani gave the post of head coach at Parma to his successor Mario Beretta.
