The 2015-16 campaign delivered a season of dramatic, chaotic survival for Palermo as the Rosanero, despite spectacular internal turmoil, ultimately secured a precarious 16th-place finish in Serie A. The year was defined by the managerial merry-go-round under Chairman Maurizio Zamparini, who astonishingly employed eight different head coaches, including two separate stints for Davide Ballardini. Leading the fight for goals amid the constant upheaval was veteran striker Alberto Gilardino, whose 10 crucial league goals proved vital in the desperate scramble for points. Safety was only secured on the final day of the season with a tense 3-2 victory over already-relegated Hellas Verona, marking a painful but defining chapter of their modern history.
