The 2018-19 campaign was a tense battle for Livorno as the Amaranto secured their Serie B status, finishing a crucial 14th place in their first season back in the second tier. Leading the charge was the returning hero Alessandro Diamanti, whose 10 goals, including his 10th of the season against Palermo, proved vital in achieving direct salvation. It was a nervy year built on grit and ended in relief, with the club successfully fighting to secure its place in the division and marking a memorable return for their talismanic attacking midfielder.
