In 1960 the crisis continued, some valuable pieces of the team were sold but there were still many difficulties and Spezia managed to rank seventh place in the championship of 1960-61. The following year the situation of the company was more tragic, there was even a lack of money to pay the enrollment at the championship. The league admitted Spezia to the tournament anyway by imposing the appointment of a Commissioner for the control of accounting. The team was prepared in the best way possible despite the difficulties, but the 1961-62 championship inevitably ended with relegation to Serie D. With a little more luck the permanence in Serie C would have been possible: the last game of the championship in Rimini was suspended for 30 minutes because of the arrival in the stadium of the Tour of Italy, just when Spezia was about to come to the draw and collect the point needed to reach Grosseto in the ranking. The Series D hosted Aquilotti for four championships. In 1963-64 the promotion seemed near, but two days before the end of the championship Spezia was defeated by the direct competitor, Massese, Therefore Spezia closed the season in third place. The step forward finally came in the 1965-66 season, when the chairman Menicagli prepared an excellent team with players as Bonvicini, Pederiva, Sonetti, Convalle, Castellazzi, and especially Vallongo. The promotion in Serie C arrived thanks to the penalty inflicted on Viareggio, to which the CAF removed three points for illicit sport. Spezia was therefore first the standings. When in Series C, Aquilotti almost reached two times the promotion in Serie B, classifying third behind Perugia and Maceratese in 1966-67 and second in 1967-68 behind Cesena.
