The 2021-22 campaign delivered a triumphant return to the top flight for Lecce as the Giallorossi, led by manager Marco Baroni, clinched the Serie B title with a first-place finish. Spearheading the charge was the prolific veteran striker Massimo Coda, whose 20 league goals not only proved decisive but also earned him the league's coveted Golden Boot for the second consecutive season. It was a season built on consistency and a formidable 15-match unbeaten run that secured their automatic promotion back to Serie A, marking a defining chapter of resurgence for the club.
