The 1993‑94 season marks the rebirth of ACF Fiorentina: after a shocking relegation, the Viola dominated Serie B and bounced straight back to the top flight. Today that legendary side lives on in the Subbuteo La Leggenda collection, ready to win the hearts of collectors.

Historical Context: From Nightmare to Celebration

Relegated against all odds in 1992‑93, the club turned to Claudio Ranieri and relied on key figures such as Gabriel Batistuta, Stefano Carobbi, Mario Faccenda, and youngster Francesco Baiano. With 72 points in 38 matches, Fiorentina won Serie B and secured an immediate return to Serie A.
