Thirty-four years following the last time, Claudio Ranieri managed to bring Cagliari back to Serie A. The 71-year-old coach, protagonist of the legendary coronation of Leicester City in the Premier League in 2016, brought the Sardinians back to the Italian football elite, exactly as in the 1989-90 season in his debut as a coach in Cagliari.
Sunday evening, thes Redblue came to the end of Bari during a final second leg of the playoffs with an explosive scenario and decided by a goal of Leonardo Pavletti at the 90th + 4 (0-1, 1-1 to go).
A goal on the gong which completes an unexpected comeback that began precisely with the return of Claudio Ranieri to the Sardis bench. Twelfth following 19 days under the orders of Fabio LiveraniCagliari regained enthusiasm, team spirit and efficiency under the orders of the coach-gentleman.
With Ranieri – in tears at the end of the match – Cagliari thus became almost invincible by collecting only 2 defeats in 19 regular season matches. An intransigence that the Calgiaritani kept during the playoffs where they successively dismissed Venice, Parma and finally Bari.
With Frosinone, champion of Serie B and Genoa (2nd), Cagliari will therefore play in Serie A next season following a year of purgatory. The clubs relegated from Serie A are Sampdoria, Cremonese and finally Spezia, defeated Sunday evening (1-3) during the dam for the maintenance by Hellas Verona of Cyril Ngonge, author of a double.
