The 2019-20 campaign delivered a heartbreaking, one-season return for Brescia as Le Rondinelle finished a crushing 19th in Serie A and were immediately relegated back to the second tier. Leading the charge were the joint top-scorers Ernesto Torregrossa and Alfredo Donnarumma, whose seven league goals apiece proved vital in a campaign built on ambition and dramatic upheaval, including three managerial changes and the presence of star signing Mario Balotelli. It was a turbulent year that marked the club's brave, but failed, attempt to re-establish themselves in the top flight and remains a defining chapter in their modern history.
