The 2012-13 season was Associazione Sportiva Roma's 85th in existence and 84th season in the top flight of Italian football. The pre-season started with the June hiring of former manager Zdeněk Zeman. Zeman replaced Luis Enrique who resigned at the end of the 2011-12 season. Enrique's lone season reign saw the disappointing loss to Slovan Bratislava in the Europa League as well as the inability to qualify for international competitions for the 2012-13 season. Roma eventually finished 7th, losing the Europa League chase to rivals Lazio, Napoli and Internazionale. Zeman brought back his high-scoring 4-3-3 formation and his hard working ethic which successfully guided former team Pescara to the Serie A. He was, however, sacked on 2 February 2013. Roma will also compete in the Coppa Italia starting in the round of 16. Which they by January reached the semi-finals.
