The football season that has just ended has seen a series of surprises and unexpected results, both negative and positive. Among these, the performances of teams like the stand out BolognaThe Lecce and the Verona, who despite not winning any trophies, managed to demonstrate their value on the field. On the contrary the Sassuolo who set out to play a quiet championship, soon found himself involved in the fight to avoid relegation and finished in penultimate place, returning to Serie B after 11 consecutive years in Serie A.
In particular, the Verona by Marco Baroni achieved salvation a day before the end of the championship, despite the drop in the value of his squad compared to the end of the summer transfer window. This decline was compensated by the excellent work done by the coach, who was able to manage the winter market in the best possible way and make the most of the players available. Another example of added value comes from Frosinone by Eusebio Di Francesco, who despite being relegated to Serie B at the end of the season, managed to significantly increase the value of his players, most of whom were on loan. In particular, the young Argentine attacking midfielder Matias Soulé has proven to be an emerging talent, thanks also to the work of the technical staff.
