Summary

The team competed in its second Serie A with sole group format, and clinched the title. The club replaced Scottish coach Billy Aitken^[1] with former Italian National Team manager Carlo Carcano^[2] introducing Metodo tactic (2-3-2-3) with the defenders trio Combi-Rosetta-Caligaris (one of all-time best defenders line up).

The club renforced the block with Alfredo Bodoira and Umberto Ghibaudo. In midfield arrived Argentinean Eugenio Castellucci, also Francesco Rier and Aldo Vollono, on attack from Argentina José Maglio^[3] along with Giovanni Ferrari, Gilberto Pogliano et Giovanni Vecchina.
