Career

Player

Pellegrino mostly played at lower league levels with a number of teams, most notably Catanzaro in the Serie B.

Coach

Pellegrino began his coaching career in 1999 as assistant at Viterbese during the Gaucci years (Viterbese and Catania sharing the same ownership during these years). As such, he was named new Catania head coach together with Francesco Graziani in 2001, guiding the then-Serie C1 club for the final two games of the season, plus the subsequent promotion playoffs, and obtaining promotion to Serie B in the end. Confirmed as co-coach of Catania together with Graziani for the successive Serie B campaign, both were fired during the season due to poor results.

He then led Serie C1 club Paternò, failing to save it from relegation. This was followed by more experiences as Serie C1 level with a number of teams (Lanciano, Padova, Martina Franca and Lecco), and Lega Pro Seconda Divisione at Cassino.

He returned to Catania in September 2013 as youth system coordinator, and was then appointed caretaker coach on April 6, 2014, as the Sicilians were last-placed in the Serie A league. [1] Despite a late surge in results, Catania did not ultimately succeed to avoid relegation to Serie B, but this was enough to ensure Pellegrino a new contract as full-time coach for the 2014–15 Serie B season, with the goal to promptly bring the club back into the top flight. He was however removed from his managerial duties on 14 September 2014, after achieving only two losses and a draw in the inaugural three league games. [2]

He was reappointed at the helm of the Sicilian club on 19 December 2014, following the resignation of Giuseppe Sannino as head coach. [3] He was removed once again from his role on 3 January 2015 due to poor results, leaving Catania in nineteenth place in the Serie B league, being also moved back to his previous job as youth system chief for the club.

The 2009–10 Serie A was the 108th season of top-tier Italian football, the 78th in a round-robin tournament. There were three promoted teams from the Serie B, replacing the three teams that were relegated following the 2008–09 season. Nike provided a new match ball – the T90 Ascente – for this season. Following the season, citing a larger television contract, the seventeen teams that survived the season and the three promoted sides formed a new league akin to England's Premier League.

A total of 22 teams contested the league: 14 of which returning from the 2013–14 season, 5 of which promoted from Prima Divisione, and three relegated from Serie A. The original concept was that due to Siena's exclusion because of financial issues and the fact such vacancy will not be filled in preparation of a future reduction to a league composed by 20 teams, this season featured 21 participant clubs instead of the usual 22. However, on 11 August 2014, Novara won an appeal and the league confirmed a 22nd team. On 29 August, the league chose Vicenza Calcio as the 22nd participant.

A total of 22 teams contested the league: 16 returning from the 2014–15 season, 4 promoted from Lega Pro, and 2 relegated from Serie A. Vacancies created by the bankruptcy of Serie A-relegated Parma and the demotion of Catania to Lega Pro due to match fixing allowed Brescia to remain in the league despite being relegated. Furthermore, Teramo was due to participate to Serie B but due to the allegations for match-fixing, the Courts decided to relegate Teramo in the last place of Lega Pro of the previous season. After the demotion of Catania, Virtus Entella was readmitted into Serie B as the best team of the relegated teams from the previous season. Furthermore, Ascoli was promoted into the championship after finishing second in Lega Pro Group B, second after Teramo before being stripped of the title for the match-fixing scandal.
