In League, the team reached a disappointing 4th place in spite of the "Trio Magico" (Charles-Sivori-Boniperti) scoring a massive quantity of goals for the third consecutive season.[2]

The club had its debut in the European Cup, and was chaotic, in a series of two-legs in preliminary round against Wiener Sport-Club from Austria, after a 3-1 won match in Torino thanks to a hat-trick of Omar Sívori the squad collapsed in Wien, without and injured John Charles the squad lost 0-7 at the Praterstadion being eliminated early out of the competition.

After a 5-4 lost match in Torino against Milan,[3] included arguments between the head coach and the star Forward Omar Sívori, the Yugoslavian manager Ljubiša Broćić was fired and replaced by Teobaldo Depetrini.[4] [5]

At the end of the season, however, the squad clinched the 1959 Coppa Italia Final defeating Internazionale in San Siro with a 4-1 score.
