The team led the Serie B table for a long part of the season, gaining a unexpected interest by the media. However, Mantova was not able to maintain the head of the league in the end, and the team concluded its season in fourth place, gaining a spot in the promotion playoffs. Successively, AC Mantova won its playoff semifinal against Modena F.C. after two ties (0-0, 1-1), being qualified thanks to its best placement in the regular season. The first playoff final, against Torino, saw Mantova winning at home 4-2. However, Mantova was not able to maintain this advantage in the return match, lost 3-1 in Turin after extra time, which allowed Torino FC to be promoted in Serie A because of a better placement in the regular season.
