For the second consecutive season (the third in the history of Levante and always under my management) we are preparing to reach a comfortable salvation, until today we have been constantly in the European zone, but the management of the concerns (point where we must improve) has made us and will make us lose many points, players who have helped us in recent years have left but other players have arrived who in addition to maintaining a good level of the first team, have further lowered the average age. For the next season (but they are already starting now) many of those young people who have made Levante Youth (will we return to the competition??) the strongest team in history in the Top100 will be even more protagonists. In the meantime, let's enjoy this ending, let's try to bring home a trophy and next season we will try to take a further step. Vamoss Levante!!!

Two consecutive promotions brought us to Div 1, the level is very high and the opponents are very strong, however, as always we want to be protagonists, many market movements, many interested young people were sacrificed but we brought in some top players like Gnabry Bremer and Dembelè who together with good re-evaluations make us a team that can aim to be in the top 10 places, despite this, as always Levante U21 is always a team that fights to go a long way, below are the two teams

Levante returns to Div1!!!! after a long and beautiful season in which in addition to promotion we achieved a second place in the WCS (without ever losing) and above all another Youth Cup where Levante with its manager continues to write history of the competition!! But now comes the tough game and Levante is ready to continue its growth path with the plan that has been clear for some time and with the results that have arrived and have proved the Manager right, all the fans knew that behind the double relegation was a very specific plan of their coach, today Levante continues to be the strongest youth team and has an important team for Div1 with many of the best talents in world football, Vamossssss Levante

LEVANTE winning his fourth Youth title, the third consecutive final won in the fifth consecutive final played, I become the first manager in the history of Top 100 to win 4 Youth titles, years of work and planning have led to these results but also to having a first team that in the very near future will be protagonists in Div1, we sacrificed our best U21 star for this very objective, because this project starts from afar but the DNA of LEVANTE will always be that of a beautiful competitive u21, now we celebrate with the hope that the first team will give us another joy, VAMOSSSS LEVANTE!!

The growth trajectory of Levante continues. After winning Div 3, the team is focused on climbing back to Div 1. With the lineup we have, our chances look promising. Yes, we faced two consecutive relegations, but there was a specific plan behind it all. The team we've built shows that the plan has been successful. I won't go into all the transfers, but we made some strategic bets that paid off. For example, we traded Dybala for Gavi, White, and Ramsey; swapped Luiz Felipe for Enzo Fernandez; and sold Eden Hazard to acquire two players rated at 89 and a young Rodrygo. These moves laid a strong foundation for the future. Further trades, like Gavi for Wirtz and Sancho, and Rodrygo for Vlahovic and Coman, along with the recent acquisition of Varane, have solidified our team. All this was possible because I've had the opportunity to work with this team for an extended period. So, the key to success is longevity. Success is measured not just by results, but also by the team one manages to build. Levante is poised to be a key player in Div 1 very soon.

As you can see from our second formation, we have excellent backup players ready to step in for those who will soon be part of Levante's history. In addition to these, we have exceptional talents like Doukoure, Buonanotte, Diaz, Bardghji, Belocian, Van Bommel, Romero, Bellingham, and Schjelderup. These players not only guarantee a promising future for the team but also make significant contributions in the present, particularly in the Youth Cup. Levante is one of the most successful teams in the history of the Top 100 in this competition. In conclusion, while we've faced challenging moments and made tough choices, it's all led to building this strong team. We're demonstrating that Levante can excel on multiple fronts, and we're ready to bring even more joy to our fans!

This will be the u21 line-up facing the Youth Cup this season

Levante winning its second consecutive Youth Cup, setting a record, third trophy in four seasons, four consecutive finals (another record set), I am very very satisfied with these goals, I worked hard to achieve these goals, now I have a winning team youth and a first team that this season won the Div 3 and went out in the semi-finals of the WCC without ever losing a game. Next season will be the one in which we will aim to rise to Div 1, we have an excellent starting 11 who can easily fight for the goal, I had to sacrifice Gavi and Rodrygo, but Vlahovic, Sancho, Writz and Coman have arrived, who will be fundamental for the our future and our goals for the next few years, now let's celebrate, let's enjoy these successes, but then immediately get to work to continue the climb among the best in Div 1 and these results and this team shows me that I'm on the right track

Levante has secured a dominant 9-1 victory in the Youth Cup final. Despite having our doubters this season, we have displayed undeniable quality in a tough competition against strong opponents. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Admin team for running the competition and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to defend our title! VAMOS LEVANTE!

The Levante wins the first edition of the Gamper trophy! There will be no need to wait for the verdict between Barcelona and Español, the boys of Mr. Zerbo have beaten both teams demonstrating that this team has a lot of potential for the future, in fact in this tournament only U23 could be lined up, the company satisfied with this trophy now he asks for the same commitment to arrive at a complicated but not impossible salvation.

Great feat of the Levante that beats Juventus in the double final, the strongest youth team, great result of my boys who reward my great and hard work done to date and which make me understand that this team can also have a great future " among the greats "now let's celebrate but let's immediately start thinking about the future, because there is so much to do if we also want a trophy in the top!

Tomorrow the championship will start, the first in Div1 of the Levante, I think I moved well, I brought experience to fight but I kept a good youth team to continue the work, I will always try to improve my team both for the present and for the future but I believe that from now on we can demonstrate that we remain in Div1.

Div1 at last! Levante is in Div1 for the first time in its history, the path was long and difficult, I inherited an excellent base from the previous coach, but I had to create my team with my philosophy (only L. Felipe left from the squad , Diop and Balerdi) the first season was difficult we risked relegation, then it was a crescendo that led us to this wonderful promotion, deserved I would say, in these seasons we have made excellent participations in the Youth Cup and World Cup demonstrating that we have an excellent first team and an excellent youth team, but now we go to the Top 100 Olympus, it will not be easy, we are easy, we are at most all the opportunities to score points and bring home a difficult salvation, but for now CELEBRATE !! VAMOSSSS LEVANTE!

The last 8 months, since Saviano joined Levante, have been a roller coaster ride for the Valencian team and their supporters. The promotion, achieved as underdog through the play-off, generated an euphoric state, that led to a wonderful pre-season (4 wins and 1 draw, against really good teams) and great expectations.

“I really believed that we could struggle for a play-off spot- said Saviano.- But after 5 matches it was clear that our goal must have been to survive in Div 4."



To make things worse and worse, the team went under Transfer Ban for an incredible mistake:” After Rossi turned 22, we needed a GK for the Youth Cup. I didn’t see anything interesting on the market, so I took the first available on loan. I didn’t imagine that loans in count for the squad limit, and I still think that it is an unfair rule."

After half a season, Levante was 19th with 15 points. “In that moment I realized that was unuseful to have old players in the team, if they aren’t decisive."

So, key players for the promotion (Corluka, Sissoko, Nilmar, Gentner) were sold for younger, less rated, players (Fred, Karsdorp, Di Francesco among all). Surprisingly, the results bettered, also thanks to a new scheme, 4-2-3-1.

Because of the terrible first half of the season, the team wasn’t able to be safe before the last match. “It has been a Champions League final for us and our opponents, Matt Morris with his Basel, with the Division 4 as prize for both of us. But the guys managed to reach our objective."

After 30 points in the second haf of the season, is there a risk to have again great expectations for next season? “Our supporters want to reach Valencia’s level. Looking at their recent performances, I think that we can do that staying in Div 4 for 2 season, waiting them to be relegated twice."

What’s the plan for next season? “We will try to make the team younger, but we can’t continue to lose rating.: players like Jallet and Diarra will stay, unless we get huge offers, which I don’t expect. Everybody know that we need a left back, but i trust Alonso and Lima, if nobody arrive they will fight to start every week."

P.S. Happy New Year!

After 3 seasons, Levante manages to return in Division 4, winning a thrilling play-off final against Espanyol (2-3, Modestè(E) 19', 48'; Rodriguez 15', Veloso 54', Nilmar 75').

Following last seasons heroics, and missing out on the play offs on the last day, Levante have made a slow start to the new season. The club have registered 3 draws and 3 defeats in the league, and defeats to Besiktas & Feyenoord in the World Club Cup.
