Playing in the Italian championship, represented by the Lithuanian Tomas Danilevičius, after a not very successful start of the season, the team fired head coach Franco Colomba and appointed Roberto Donadoni in his place, who signed an 18-month contract.

In the summer of 2004, Walter Mazzarri took over as the team's strategist, and this season in Serie A, in 18 matches, they managed to earn only 20 points, which means that Livorno is in 15th place out of 20 clubs.

Former legendary Milan player R. Donadoni had already held this position two years ago when Serie B with Livorno finished in tenth place, but later moved to Genoa, from where he was soon fired after just three matches.
