There were tough defeats, certainly, but also moments of brilliance – a historic first victory over Bologna and a crucial away win against Sampdoria that signaled their intent to compete.

They did survive, and more than that, they thrived. over the next few seasons, Sassuolo consistently occupied mid-table to top-half positions, steadily building a reputation for attractive football.
The 2015-16 season was a breakthrough. Finishing sixth earned them a coveted ticket to the Europa League qualification. The following season saw them go one step further, qualifying for the Europa League group phase after a hard-fought victory against Red Star Belgrade. This wasn’t just about results; it was about how they were achieving them.
