Pietrasanta loses the playoff final and considers acquiring the title of Real Forte Querceta for the Excellence.

Pietrasanta's season ends badly as they are defeated (... and there has been no shortage of protests over the refereeing decisions on various episodes) and eliminated in the playoff final of Group A of Promozione Toscana, exactly like a year ago. And so, to climb into the much-chased Eccellenza, the discussion of the possible acquisition of the Real Forte Querceta sports title comes back into fashion, should the black and blue club "put it up for sale". The next few weeks will be decisive to understand the room for maneuver and what can really happen.

It is not a given that Paolo Tognetti and Alessandro Mussi's Real FQ (... Massimo Landi could withdraw) will disappear: the club could still decide to continue its journey in Eccellenza without "merging" with other neighboring clubs, even if the difficulties related to spaces/facilities and youth sector are objective for Forte Querceta. In the end, everyone could go their own way, with their own company name. Pietrasanta, in the meantime, is licking its wounds after a season that went wrong compared to plans for various reasons: from the many unavailabilities that followed one another during the year (the "Mattiello case" is the one that hurt the most) to a December market that should have been more incisive (the addition of Laurini has yielded little... while, knowing since the summer that Remedi would leave in mid-April for the Beach Soccer World Cup, a more important striker should have been taken).

The future could be with a change on the bench. The current biancoceleste coach Giuseppe Della Bona would like the Eccellenza (where Castelnuovo likes him if 'La Faina' Walter Vangioni were to leave the Garfagnana by his own choice... but watch out for 'Gigi' Grassi if he stops and starts his coaching career) and no longer the Promozione (where Pontremolese is following him for the possible after Matteo Verdi). If Della Bona were to leave Pietrasanta, the probable new biancoceleste coach would be Luca Cagnoni, who at Forte dei Marmi would be promptly replaced by Massimiliano Incerti?
