On the shore of the lake with the dream of a season…COMOssal. The Lombard team is in full swing to achieve a historic direct promotion to Serie A and has one of the hottest season finales in recent years ahead of them.

Feralpisalò, Sampdoria, Citadel, Modena And Cosenza the last obstacles to complete an incredible comeback: Como’s fate depends only on its results.
Once upon a time there was Como: and how much Juve…
The Lombard team has been missing from Serie A for two years 2002-2003a season in which some well-known faces from the Italian and Juventus football scene took part: he was from Como Nicola Amorusowith 6 goals in 14 games, and he was also from Como Fabio Pecchiaformer midfielder with a goal-scoring habit and currently the team’s coach Parma leaders of this Serie B with a 5 point advantage. And how can we forget Marco Rossiwho later became the historic captain of Genoa, and current club manager of the Ligurian club.
Today’s Como is already Serie A
Twenty years later Howafter saying goodbye to Longo at the beginning of the season and pitching Cesc Fàbregas – with technical supervision awaiting the license – at least until June 2024, boasts many faces who have already played in Serie A: Gabriel Strefezzaa transfer coup that arrived definitively from Lecce in the winter transfer market session; Edward Goldaniga, defender of the Sassuolo school (also former Juve, at the time of co-ownership…) now a top player in the Lombard team; the two former Toros Simon greenswho after excellent experiences with the Granata and Bologna shirts found sporting serenity at the foot of Lake Como and Daniele Baselli; In the end Patrick Cutrone, who after having exploded with the Milan shirt, had a decline and now on the lake shore he has become one of the main points of reference in attack with 11 goals and 4 assists in 27 games. All accompanied by Gabrielloni And From Cunhanow idols of Como.
A Rich Tale: Hartono and Henry
The Como fairy tale that is gradually coming true? Up to a certain point, because behind the club lies a very rich property, represented by the two brothers Robert and Michael Hartono who purchased the team in 2019. The Hartonos are even included in the Top Ten of the ranking of the richest men in football drawn up by Forbes, in which the two brothers are 8th and 10th respectively. The star of the French legend also shines in the company organization chart, and once again Juventus returns, Thierry Henry, who decided to embrace the project and become a shareholder of the club. A rich tale, therefore, that of Como, which now dreams of A league.
