San Marino Calcio Faces Turmoil and Relegation Battle in Serie D
San Marino Calcio is grappling with significant internal instability and a precarious position in Serie D, Group F. The club has experienced a revolving door of management and players, contributing to a challenging season marked by poor results and a constant struggle to avoid relegation.
A Season of Constant Change
As of February 18, 2026, San Marino Calcio has seen three different head coaches, three different sporting directors, and 28 recent player acquisitions since the start of the championship. Remarkably, only one player has featured in both the team’s first match against Termoli and their most recent game against UniPomezia, highlighting the extensive turnover within the squad. San Marino RTV reports on the “surreal” numbers reflecting this constant revolution.
Player Departures and Squad Instability
Recent departures include key players such as goalkeeper Meli and forward Gasperoni, both of whom expressed concerns about the club’s support for the team. Fabbri and Tosi, the only remaining San Marino natives in the squad, have moved to Tropical Coriano and Lucchese, respectively. This exodus of players has further destabilized the team.
Management Shake-Ups
The club has too experienced significant changes in its directorial structure. Deoma was replaced as sporting director by Ferroni in October, who was then moved to a technical director role following a dispute over a canceled Christmas break. Dipierro currently holds the position of sporting director. The managerial changes have been equally frequent, with Malgrati initially taking charge, followed by Ingenito, who resigned after a poor run of results.
Current League Standing and Relegation Threat
As of February 19, 2026, San Marino Calcio finds itself in a precarious position in Serie D, Group F. According to available data, Termoli and Sora are currently considered the closest teams in terms of avoiding direct relegation, holding a 6-point advantage over San Marino.
