The 2022-23 campaign delivered a devastating blow for Perugia, with I Grifoni finishing a crushing 18th in Serie B, which resulted in automatic relegation to the third tier, Serie C. Despite the relentless efforts of key players like the versatile Tiago Casasola, whose 9 league goals were vital in the battle for survival, the season was defined by a critical mid-season slump and a constant battle to avoid the drop that ultimately fell short. This difficult year marked a painful setback for the club and remains an unfortunate but defining chapter in their recent history.
