The 2018-19 campaign was a tense and turbulent fight for survival for Venezia, as the Leoni alati ultimately finished a precarious 15th in a heavily reduced 19-team Serie B. Leading the charge for goals was the dynamic Francesco Di Mariano, whose 7 league goals proved vital in a desperate season built on inconsistency. The year culminated in a dramatic, do-or-die relegation play-out against Salernitana, which saw the Lagunari lose on penalties after a hard-fought two-legged battle. This nervy chapter remains a defining period that showcased the club's enduring fight to maintain its status in the professional ranks.
