Season summary

In attempt to reborn, Torino bet on Brazilian playmaker Leo Junior.^[1] On 18 November, a goal by Aldo Serena - who scored during injury time - brought the win in citizen derby.^[2] A week later, "Toro" was knocked out by Hellas Verona that, due to this win, couldn't top the league.^[3]

Whilst Hellas would eventually win title, Radice's side managed to get a second place useful to participate in UEFA Cup for 1985–86 season.^[4]
