The 2006-07 campaign delivered a devastating end to an era for Pescara as Delfini slumped to a crushing 22nd-place finish in Serie B, resulting in their relegation to Serie C1. Plagued by a one-point deduction for late tax payments and managerial turmoil that saw three different coaches, the club was unable to arrest its slide. Despite the struggles, forward Marco Martini was a defiant presence, whose 8 league goals proved to be the most decisive contribution in a dark and painful chapter that ended the club's decade-long stay in the second tier.
