During the 1996–97 seasonBologna Football Club 1909 competed in Serie A and Coppa Italia.
Newcomers in Serie A, Bologna, finished in a decent 7th place almost reaching an UEFA Cup spot.[1] In Coppa Italia, the squad reached the semifinals defeated by future champions Vicenza ofFrancesco Guidolin.[2]
ManagerRenzo Ulivieri built a balanced squad with experienced players and young stars emerging during the campaign included former goalkeeperFrancesco Antonioli, defendersMichele Paramatti,Stefano Torrisi and Giuseppe Cardone. Meanwhile, the offensive saw the Russian duo: formerInter midfielderIgor Shalimov and forwardIgor Kolyvanov was able to play as a pure striker once again, without having responsibilities across the entire field like in Foggia. This immediately reflected on his goal scoring, and he was Bologna's top striker in his first season, with 11 goals in 27 games. Also Swedish strikerKennet Andersson, whom arrived in the summer from relegatedA.S. Bari, had a decent campaign.
