# 1957–58 Alessandria US season

The 1957–58 season of Alessandria Unione Sportiva's was their 46th in Italian football and their 11th in Serie A.
Back in Serie A after 9 years, Alessandria U.S. built a competitive team, comprehensive of Italy defender Giacomazzi, talented Tagnin and Switzerland forward Vonlanthen.
Alessandria's coaches Robotti and Pedroni settled the team with a strong "catenaccio": the quality of the holding midfielder-line granted good matches, and for a long time the Grigi's occupied the first positions of the classification, even if they fell away in the last part of the championship, ending 12th.
In 1957–58 season Alessandria ended as the 3rd best defense in Serie A, with 42 goals against in 34 matches: only Internazionale and Fiorentina did it better.
Roger Vonlanthen, even though he scored only 8 goals (less than the expected), was the top goalscorer.
