Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 35

By: Francesco | May 11th, 2009

Due to Livorno’s loss on Friday, Bari were mathematically promoted to Serie A and will return to paradise after 8 long years of Serie B. The last time Bari were in Serie A they had players like Antonio Cassano and Simone Perrotta on the books. This season they were expected to at least contend for a play-off spot but nobody expected them to dominate Serie B. Lots of credit goes to manager Antonio Conte (remember him?) who really did a great job managing a side filled with a perfect mix of young players and veterans. Next year Serie A will have back a passionate fan base (and one of the biggest stadiums in Italy) with an enthusiastic team ready to give it’s all to never return to Serie B again. Welcome back Bari!
