Official Umbro Legea Calcio Catania home long sleeve football shirt from the 2008/09 season.

Condition of this vintage football jersey is 9/10 - Superb. A little wear to the size motif inside the collar (see photos).

The 2008/09 season, with manager Pasquale Marino leaving for Udinese and Silvio Baldini taking charge of the team, proved to be hard In the Coppa Italia, Catania reached to the semi-finals, then lost to A.S. Roma. Subsequently, Baldini resigned from his post on 31 March 2008, being replaced by Walter Zenga.

Despite this, Zenga managed to lead the rossazzurri off the relegation zone in a heated final week game, a 1–1 home tie to Roma, with an equaliser goal scored by Jorge Martínez in the 85th minute. Zenga was successively confirmed in charge of the team for the upcoming 2008–09 season.

On 5 June 2009, Zenga left Catania to be the manager at arch-rival football club Palermo. He was replaced by Gianluca Atzori, with one year of experience at Lega Pro Prima Divisione team Ravenna. Atzori was noted for using an attacking 4–3–3 formation at Ravenna and was expected to continue a similar approach with the Elefanti.
