Serie C

No, he'd got...

A couple of the Serie D and Serie C sides too, into the playoffs.

But Italy have been eight to go into the playoffs forever.

It's like you basically got to go up in the playoffs.

In 2023, Bologna sent him to Ternana in the Serie B. despite anana eventually being relegated through the play out he played 20 he played 40 matches and all comps scored nine goals and became one of the most productive under 20 strikers that earned him a loan to venezia in the seria in august 2024 but it did not work out he only made nine league appearances playing less than 100 minutes not scoring and that loan was terminated in January 2025 when he joined Salernitana where Roberto Breda, who had coached him at Ternana, wanted him really badly and so Raimondo However, failed to repay that confidence and only scored once in those 12 matches that he appeared in.

And Salernitana were relegated to Serie C after losing the play-out to Sampdoria.

And within 12 months, he found himself from Serie A getting relegated twice in the Serie B.

But Frosinone changed everything.

It's nuts.

Just a quick word on Cesc Fabregas, because it's a wonderful story, the Como story, right? And we know himself and Thierry Henry have this minority investment in this club, but this is a team who have gone from Serie C all the way to Serie A, to the Champions League, all whilst the supporters are practically paying the same price as they were paying when they were in the third tier.

They've really looked after the club.

And then they can go out and spend big on a player like Nico Paz, who looked brilliant last

go with technicalities? Go ahead.

But Noguino still plays Serie C in Italy, so he's not even retired.

He's playing in

Serie C.

It says

a retired player

So I just hope that more teams actually follow suit.

And this is all without a U23 team in Serie C. Oh, wow.

You know, if you look at everybody else, you know, Juventus, like...

Where are those young guys coming through? Well, Juventus sells them all.

Yeah, that was their business model.

But my point is, this is a primavera that has even lowered the level, quote-unquote, because Juve, Inter, Atalanta, Milan have their second team now in the U23, in Serie C, sorry, as U23.

And they're still able to promote talent.

So it's something to note.

The former Nice player himself, can he make a return? He was playing in Switzerland for Thun not too long ago too.

We talked about this, playing in Cosenza Calcio, Serie C, third division in Italy.

So European experience, will he be there again next season is my question.

That's what you're thinking.

A tough...

Serie C game.

You know how these Serie C games go, guys.

You know? Like, even if this pitch is a nice pitch.

I think this is artificial.

Constant reconstruction prevented the team from developing any stable identity.

And they were actually relegated initially to Serie C after a goalist draw to Juve Stabia on the 13th of May for the first time in their history, I should add.

But they did not play in Serie C because Brescia were subsequently deducted four points.

for administrative violations and because massimo cellino is a rock and roll kind of guy and rock and roll kind of guy in on and off the pitch maybe doesn't always translate into financial stability or stability full stop so it moved some toria into a player against salernitana where they won the first leg at the Luigi Ferraris, and they were leading the return leg at the Arecchi when crowd disorder caused the game to be abandoned, and Sampdoria were awarded 3-0 Tavolino win, and they avoided Serie B.

And so last season, they finished 13th in Serie B with 44 points from 38 matches.
