The 2011–12 season was Juventus Football Club's 114th in existence and fifth consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. In Serie A, the club won their first league title since 2003; they had won two Serie A titles in the meantime (2004–05 and 2005–06) but were stripped of both as a result of the Calciopoli scandal.

Season review Former club captain and fan favourite Antonio Conte was officially appointed as the new manager on 31 May 2011, taking over the post previously left vacant following the sacking of Luigi Delneri. It was Conte's first appointment at a major Serie A club; he previously managed Siena, Arezzo, Atalanta, and Bari respectively, winning two Serie A promotions in the process (with Bari and Siena). His arrival coincided with the acquisitions of Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal, both top-class midfielders. The 2011–12 season also marked the opening of a new stadium, named Juventus Stadium. It was officially opened on 11 September, in a match against Parma that ended 4–1. First half of league saw Juventus gain several key-wins such as over Milan and Inter, both beaten in the month of October.

Despite criticism for lacking a centre-forward, a role sometimes covered by Matri, the team was able to score regularly with its other players. Juventus reached first place, and the title was certainly won on the penultimate game of the season due to a 2–0 success away to Cagliari – the first time in nine years. Juventus ended the season without any losses, breaking a record for the 20-team league format in Italy. Conte's squad also played the Coppa Italia final, losing to Napoli 2–0 — the first and only seasonal loss. This match was the last for Juventus for Alessandro Del Piero, who seven days before had scored his last goal in a 3–1 win over Atalanta.

After a 3–1 win in the final matchday against Atalanta, Juventus became the first team to go the season unbeaten in the current 38-game format.
