Ravenna Serie C performance and management changes

Overview

Ravenna’s Serie C Group B campaign saw a shift from early success to a recent setback. On September 27, Ravenna secured a 2-0 victory against Gubbio at the Benelli stadium, driven by a first-half goal from Lorenzo Lonardi and a stoppage-time penalty from Simone Rabbi.

However, Ravenna’s unbeaten streak of seven matches ended on October 3 with a 2-1 defeat against Pianese at the Comunale in Piancastagnaio. While Ravenna responded in the 19th minute with a header from Soleri—a goal confirmed by VAR—they could not overcome two goals from Pianese striker Leonardo Bellini. Bellini opened the scoring in the 16th minute and regained the lead in the 58th minute by capitalizing on a corner kick. Despite late tactical substitutions by Ravenna coach Andrea Mandorlini, the team could not find an equalizer.

Despite this first defeat of the season, Ravenna remains in second place in the standings due to losses by Grosseto, Reggiana, and Livorno. Meanwhile, league leaders Spezia extended their advantage to five points over Ravenna following a victory against Reggiana.

The defeat coincided with a leadership transition at the club. Mattia Baldassarre has resigned as CEO as part of a long-term agreement with ownership, and Lee Greening, formerly a financial director at Black Duck, has been appointed as the new CEO.
