Salernitana
Salernitana had a disastrous last season in Serie A and was once again relegated to a lower division. Frequent changes in management did not contribute to achieving acceptable results, further worsening their situation.
The team's performances in the off-season were not noteworthy, as most of their matches were against lower-league clubs. However, Salernitana is likely to be a contender for promotion once again.
Spezia
Spezia failed to compete for a return to the top division last season and barely managed to retain their place in Serie B. Thanks to nine points gained in the last five matches of the season, the team secured a vital 15th place.
During the off-season, Spezia lost only to Empoli but recorded victories against German sides Arminia and Bochum. However, it seems their defensive problems have not been resolved ahead of the new season.
