A triple whistle that nobody could hear, overpowered by the voices of fans cheering at the top of their lungs. Seven years waiting and a dream that, by now, has become a reality. Liverani's Lecce club is returning to Serie A, one year and fifteen days after escaping from Serie C.
The team defeated Spezia today 2-1, with the roar of Via del Mare ready to push the giallorossi even higher. 25,135 fans attended the match, breaking the record set two weeks ago against Brescia. The beaches and the beach resorts of the city can wait another weekend: the priority of the city is now to thank Mancosu and teammates.
This is the club's ninth promotion to Serie A, and the 2019-2020 season will be the 16th season that Lecce will compete in the top Italian league. After returning from the bottom Serie C to the top league, the entire city and its fans will have a lot to celebrate this weekend.
