Having sacked Marco Giampaolo after Week 10, the then bottom of the table Cesena appointed Daniele Arrigoni on a short-term deal until June 2012. Cesena had initially contacted Davide Ballardini and Gigi De Canio, but both men turned down the opportunity to take charge of the Seahorses. Arrigoni, 52, was actually born in Cesena and appeared for the club as a player during the early 1980s. The former Torino, Cagliari and Livorno boss hadn’t worked since he was sacked by Sassuolo back in October 2010.
