Fiorentina 1984-1985 Home Short Sleeve Football Shirt [As worn by Antognoni, Monelli & Sócrates]

Description

This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve home kit for Fiorentina’s 1984-1985 season.

The 1984-1985 season was a challenging one for Fiorentina, as they navigated through a series of setbacks and obstacles. Despite their efforts, they finished in ninth place in the championship, which saw Verona claim the title.

The absence of Giancarlo Antognoni, who was sidelined due to injury, posed a significant challenge for the team. However, Fiorentina made notable signings, including the Brazilian star Sócrates, who had impressed in the recent World Cup. Alongside Sócrates, Argentinean Daniel Passarella and other talented players such as Claudio Gentile, Leonardo Occhipinti, Claudio Pellegrini, Carlo Pascucci, and Luca Moz joined the team.

With Antognoni unavailable, Fiorentina relied on Paolo Monelli as their top scorer, as he found the back of the net 13 times throughout the season. Six of his goals came in the Italian Cup, while the remaining seven were scored in the league. Monelli’s contributions were vital to the team’s performance, as they sought success in both domestic and European competitions.

The season was not without its challenges off the pitch as well. Coach Giancarlo De Sisti fell ill and had to take an extended absence, leading to his replacement by Ferruccio Valcareggi on the 12th matchday. Under Valcareggi’s guidance, Fiorentina fought hard and secured a ninth-place finish in the championship. It was a commendable achievement considering the circumstances, and the team’s resilience was evident throughout the campaign.

In the Europe Cup, Fiorentina’s journey came to an end in the round of 32, as they were defeated by Belgian side Anderlecht in a resounding 6-2 loss. However, in the first round, the team had eliminated Turkish side Fenerbahçe, showcasing their potential and ability to compete on the European stage.

In the Coppa Italia, Fiorentina had a solid run. They progressed past the first round by defeating Napoli in the eighth qualifying round and continued their success by overcoming Bari in the round of 16. In the quarter-finals, they secured a victory against Parma. However, their journey came to an end in the semi-finals, as they were eliminated by Sampdoria in a closely contested double match.
