Reggina

2006–07 season
Chairman	Pasquale Foti
Manager	Walter Mazzarri
Serie A	14th
Coppa Italia	Last 16
Top goalscorer	Rolando Bianchi (18)

Reggina Calcio was thought to be certain to be relegated in the 2006-07 season, since it had been deducted eleven points for its involvement in Calciopoli. At no stage had Reggina renewed its contract with more than a point or two, and therefore its 51 points from 38 league matches sent echoes over the entire Italian football society. The Serie A stay was extended thanks to the successful striking force of Rolando Bianchi and Nicola Amoruso, scoring an unprecedented 35 goals between them, a figure any top club would have been delighted of. Bianchi headed for Manchester City in the summer, and successful coach Walter Mazzarri found a new berth at Sampdoria, leaving Reggina with its Serie A status intact, but back on square one again.
