In 2017, the local Municipality took away the management of the stadium from Modena F.C. This was due to irregularities in payments and a lack of responsibility in managing the stadium. The Caliendo administration left the stadium without necessary requirements for months.[5] Modena started the 2017/18 season in Serie C without a home, forced to play home games in Forlì.[6] The fans decided to boycott the games in opposition to President Caliendo, insisting that he leave Modena and the city.
