The 2016-17 campaign was a deeply turbulent season of chaos and last-gasp survival for Ternana as the Rossoverdi finished a perilous 18th in Serie B. The season was defined by extreme instability, with five different managers taking the helm before Fabio Liverani finally steered them to safety. Spearheading the attack was the Uruguayan striker Felipe Avenatti, whose 12 crucial goals proved decisive in a desperate campaign built on sheer fighting spirit. This hard-fought year, which saw them endure a six-game losing run, remains a defining chapter in the club's history of clinging on to their second-tier status.
