U.C. Sampdoria fell short of repeating its successful 1984-85 season, ending up in 12th position in the league. It did almost defend its cup title successfully, but despite a 2-1 victory in the first leg, it lost to Roma in the return leg. Sampdoria's European adventure did not live up to expectations, it not even reaching the quarter finals of the Cup Winners' Cup.
