The 2012-13 campaign was a season of crucial stabilization and resurgence for Cesena, as the Cavallucci Marini navigated a transitional year following their relegation from Serie A. Despite a turbulent start that saw the club bring back manager Pierpaolo Bisoli, the team ultimately secured a mid-table 14th-place finish in Serie B. Leading the charge with his prolific striking was the veteran forward Davide Succi, whose 15 league goals proved vital in anchoring the attack. It was a foundational season of recovery that successfully steered the club away from further relegation trouble and, under Bisoli's renewed guidance, quietly laid the groundwork for their memorable return to the top flight.
