The 2015–16 season started with Terranova again at the helm of the team. A Palermo-based consortium took over the club. New leader Elio Abbagnato (former club chairman from 1989 to 1991, and father-in-law of former Italy international Federico Balzaretti) appointed former Serie A player Tommaso Napoli as Mazara's new manager. Playing in Eccellenza, the club ended in seventh place. Mazara had a very successful campaign in the Coppa Italia Dilettanti, winning the regional cup for the first time ever. They ended the national phase, which offered an additional Serie D spot to the competition winners, as runners-up, losing to Unione Sanremo in the final.
