The 2019–20 season is Victoria Libertas Pesaro's 74th in existence and the club's 13th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian basketball.
Overview For the 2019–20 season, Pesaro appointed Federico Perego as head coach. Perego had previously worked as an assistant coach for Brose Bamberg in the German Basketball Bundesliga and had served as its head coach during the latter half of the previous season.
But the season has an horrible start with a streak of 10 consecutive losses that forces the team to replace Perego with Giancarlo Sacco. Sacco's nomination is a comeback as he started his coaching career with Pesaro in 1984 until 1987 and again as head coach in the 1998–99 season.
However, even with the new coach, Pesaro did not manage to interrupt the losing streak until the first match of the second half of the season against Fortitudo Bologna, after 16 consecutive losses.
The 2019-20 season was hit by the coronavirus pandemic that compelled the federation to suspend and later cancel the competition without assigning the title to anyone. Pesaro ended the championship in the last 17th position with only one match won.
