Fiorentina vs Roma 1982-83 Serie A Clash
Fiorentina vs Roma: A clash of top-half Serie A sides in 1982-83, with Roma claiming the title.
Fiorentina faced Roma in the 1982-83 Serie A season. The match was not a mid-table battle: Fiorentina finished 5th, while Roma won the Scudetto. Giancarlo De Sisti was Fiorentina's manager, not Giovanni Trapattoni. Fiorentina had never been relegated from Serie A before 1993, so they were not re-establishing themselves after relegation.
