The 2018-19 campaign was a season of high ambition for Perugia as the Grifoni battled to a respectable 8th-place finish in Serie B. This crucial position secured a spot in the promotion play-offs, sparking fervent dreams of a return to Serie A. Leading the charge with his creative flair was the prolific central midfielder Valerio Verre, whose 12 league goals proved decisive in a year built on the collective hope of a top-flight comeback. Although their promotion bid ultimately fell short in the preliminary round, the season remains a chapter of fighting spirit and near-success for the club.
