Summary

[edit]

In the summer of 1996, Vicenza brought young forwards Alessandro Iannuzzi and Giovanni Cornacchini, the latter going on to become the top scorer in Coppa Italia, centre back Massimo Beghetto, teenage left back Pierre Wome who was discovered in Africa by technical director Sergio Vignoni,[5] as well as 18-year old midfielder Fabio Firmani. Leaving the club were Joachim Bjorklund, Massimo Lombardini and Gabriele Grossi. In July 1996 the team started pre-season in Enego.[6]

Vicenza had its best season ever, winning the Coppa Italia following a victory over Napoli in the final.
