During that season, he was fired, but then recalled, and hardly managed to save his team from relegation.
In 2002/2003, Palermo hired him to replace Ezio Glerean just at the first matchday, but he was sacked as well at the twentieth. Arrigoni went on to become Serie C2's Frosinone boss in 2003/2004, leading the club to win the league.
In 2004/2005, Arrigoni was surprisingly called to coach a Serie A team, Cagliari Calcio. Also thanks to outstanding players such as Antonio Langella, Gianfranco Zola, Mauro Esposito and David Suazo, Arrigoni went on leading his team to a very good season, ended in 12th place. Arrigoni, who had left Cagliari at the end of the season in order to join Torino, then cancelled by the federation because of financial troubles, was recalled to Cagliari in 2005/2006, but resigned soon after following heavy protests from its supporters. In 2006/2007, he is coaching Livorno, with the additional opportunity to make his debut in an European competition, UEFA Cup in the case.
