It was a season that promised a lot for Torino fans but didn't quite deliver in the end. The Granata had a memorable campaign in the Europa League last year and their goal was to qualify for that competition again. With no midweek games to worry about this season, it meant a clear path to achieving that dream. Indeed, Toro started like a house on fire - recording four wins from their opening six Serie A matches but inconsistency soon started to creep in. That can often be the case with a very young and inexperienced squad which is what Giampiero Ventura was working with for the most part. The veteran coach has been lauded for his work with young players and several of them showed significant progression. Daniele Baselli and Marco Benassi formed a burgeoning partnership in midfield with the latter being named in Antonio Conte's provisional squad for Euro 2016. Fabio Quagliarella's departure in January meant that Andrea Belotti became the main man up-front despite the return of Ciro Immobile. The younger Italian striker emerged from his shadow to finish the season as top scorer with 12 goals. Indeed, Torino didn't seem to have any problems going forward as only four teams scored more goals than them in the entire league. It was defensively where they had issues as they conceded three more than they scored. Kamil Glik was player of the season last term but he seemed to have a drop off in form. He wasn't helped by the fact that hiis two central defensive partners in Emiliano Moretti and Cesare Bovo seem to be ageing and on the decline. Ventura won't be around to draft in replacements as he left the club and will take over from Conte as the national team coach. Sinisa Mihajlovic will be his replacement after an unsuccessful stint at Milan. The Serb has proven his worth in less high profile jobs before though and may well thrive with the young talent he has to work with in Turin.
