The 2009-10 campaign delivered a triumphant return to the top flight for Lecce as the Giallorossi surged to win their first-ever Serie B title. Under the guidance of manager Luigi De Canio, the team dramatically clinched first place in November and held their nerve through the final matchday to secure an emotional promotion back to Serie A. Leading the charge was striker Daniele Corvia, whose 17 crucial goals anchored an attack built on momentum and consistency. It was a golden year that marked the club's successful fight for promotion and remains a defining, nostalgic chapter in the history of the Salentini.
