Season

Lecce suffered a very bad season start, with an elimination in Coppa Italia and 9 losses in 13 league matches. On December 3, the manager Eusebio Di Francesco was sacked: Serse Cosmi is appointed new coach. After his arrival, the side began struggle in the attempt to avoid relegation and gained a notable amount of points in following months; eventually it didn't manage to escape, mainly due to 4 lost in last 5 matches being relegated to Serie B.
