 Following the excellent work of Mr. Tabbiani and his staff, some important companies are interested in the former Genoa coach, so the company believes the time has come to entrust the bench to the former Captain and warrior of many battles Gabriele Venuti who in the last two seasons he first qualified for the group play-offs with the National Juniores and then assisted Andrea Dagnino as technical collaborator and Luca Tabbiani as second coach; his collaborator is Paolo Livellara (who arrived in the final with the Allievi Regionali leva 2000) who will also train the Juniors with the vice captain of the first team Giacomo Avellino.In September the team is reinforced with the arrival of the released Silvano Raggio Garibaldi (Stefano's twin brother, former goalkeeper of the Bianconeri) and Simone Basso (formerly at Lavagnese in 2005-2006).However, the 2017-2018 season will be one of the worst since the company disputed the Serie D; after a good start the Venuti team will meet again in November at the top of the standings, after a few direct clashes lost at the halfway point, Lavagnese is stationed in seventh place with 27 points in 17 races, but the second round will turn into a nightmare with good performances but disappointing results, in the end only 17 points in 17 races.
