After 1946, the team made the best of Serie B for many years.
Catania has reached Serie A in various occasions, but problems in management and coaching relegated the team several times.
The Sicilian side looks to have a good season after hardly avoiding downgrading the last two seasons.
Walter Zenga seems to be much focused and really wants to turn Catania into a good midtable side, instead of fighting for inferiority.
Rossazzurri decided to sell Juan Vargas in 2008 to Fiorentina, after a 4 year contract and despite the fact that he had helped the team survive Serie A for two seasons; however, the club made a good quantity of money with the sell.
The currency was used on the transfer market and the team spent it prudently.
