Season summary

The team managed by Zeman arrives in Serie A in the 1991-92 championship. Foggia plays a decent season surprising everyone with a superb offensive system. The Italian media and even European media talk about the team calling Zemanlandia or Miraculous Foggia. The almighty trio of forwards: Signori-Baiano-Rambaudi gave amazing games through the year. Foggia finished 9th in Serie A. Their attacking 4-3-3 formation saw the club score 58 goals, more than any other club but champions A.C. Milan, and challenge for a place in the UEFA Cup. However, their leaky defense - the team also conceded 58 goals, exceeded only by bottom club Ascoli - scuppered their European charge.
