Season summary

In order to resolve a lack of goals Torino bought Wim Kieft, ^[1] who hit the net for several times in every competition. ^{[2] [3]} At least in autumn the side paid European efforts, winning only once in Sundays following cup games. ^{[4] [5] [6]}

As 1987 begins, UEFA draw coupled Tirol Innsbruck to the side for quarter-finals. ^[7] First leg ended up in a 0–0 after a match poor of goal opportunities. ^[8] Torino came to retour challenge in a crisis trend, missing league win from 5 games and goals from 554'. ^[9] A cold ground, in Austria, hosted the match. ^[10] Torino stood up at opponent's attacks, finishing the first half without scoring or conceding. ^[10] As second round started, Tirol went on 1–0 after a quarter: ^[10] a corner kick originated the goal. ^[10] With 10 minutes left, Austrian side came to double. ^[10] Referee was about to blow the end when Francini scored for Torino. ^[10] The same defender came close to equalizer, but a foul on him was not punished with a penalty (probably because he hit the ball before falling down). ^[10] European failure could have result in a sacking for Radice who – instead – retained his job. ^[11]
