The 2014-15 campaign delivered a sensational return to relevance for Perugia as the Grifoni, freshly promoted, surged to a 6th-place finish in Serie B, securing a coveted spot in the promotion play-offs. Leading the charge was the clinical striker Diego Falcinelli, whose 14 goals fired the team under manager Andrea Camplone into the post-season hunt. It was a year built on renewed ambition and momentum that ultimately saw them fall just short of a return to the top flight after a narrow 1-2 play-off loss to Pescara. Despite the disappointment, this season remains a defiant and defining chapter that re-established the club as a serious contender in the second tier.
