The 2014-15 campaign delivered a season of deep struggle and ultimate heartbreak for Cesena as Cavallucci Marini finished a crushing 19th in Serie A, resulting in immediate relegation back to the second tier after just one season. The year was marked by managerial turmoil and a final relegation confirmed with three games left, yet the brightest spark was the burgeoning talent of forward Grégoire Defrel, whose team-leading 9 goals in the league proved a lone point of attacking quality. It was a difficult, turbulent chapter despite the passionate home support that peaked with a near-capacity crowd against champions Juventus.
