The 2010-11 campaign delivered a season of agonizing struggle for Piacenza as the Biancorossi finished a perilous 19th in Serie B, leading to a dramatic relegation play-out. The club's fight for survival was ultimately lost against AlbinoLeffe due to the tie-breaking rule of higher league position, resulting in a devastating drop to the Lega Pro Prima Divisione. Despite the heartbreak, the season was defined by the stunning form of veteran striker Daniele Cacia, whose 17 crucial goals placed him among the league's top scorers. It was an unforgettable year that marked a painful decline but showcased the enduring class of their talisman.
