The final day of the Serie B season has just seen Salernitana win promotion to Serie A, for only the third time in their history. Since their last appearance in the top-flight, the club has twice gone bust. The first time, the new club restarted in Serie C1, but the last time, in 2011, the club found themselves in Serie D for the first time ever.
This is where Claudio Lotito comes into the picture, taking over the club along with his brother-in law, Marco Mezzaroma. While the club celebrates their success, the rules which state that two clubs in the same division cannot be owned by the same person, means that Lotito, also the man in charge at Lazio, will now have to make a decision on which club to keep.
