Summary

The squad finished in 10th place in Serie A. Striker Filippo Inzaghi became capocannoniere with 24 goals in 33 league matches for Atalanta,[1] defeating Sampdoria striker Vincenzo Montella. Inzaghi tied Michel Platini's 1983-84 Serie A record, scoring against 15 different teams in the competition.[2] Also, goalkeeper Davide Pinato attained a new club record: 757 minutes without conceding a goal.[3]

On 12 February 1997, forward Federico Pisani died in a car accident with his BMW 320 convertible in the company of his girlfriend Alessandra Midali (who also died in the accident)[4] and two friends (who were uninjured). In his honor, the club's number 14 was retired, and the Curva Nord (North stand) of the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia was named the Curva Pisani.
