Reggina Calcio took major steps in establishing itself in Serie A under new coach Walter Mazzarri. The relegation battle was the tightest ever, but Reggina's points average was its highest in the top division yet, resulting in a surprising 10th place. This success also meant the team lost several key players, with Shunsuke Nakamura, Martin Jiránek and Emiliano Bonazzoli being hard to replace.
