They hope that Nicola's extraordinary record of avoiding the drop even against the odds can serve them well next season. He managed to upset predictions by keeping Crotone, Genoa, Salernitana and Empoli in Serie A, often with late comebacks and dramatic victories. That included Cagliari this term, but they promoted youth team boss Fabio Pisacane to the main role.

Cremonese promoted to Serie A with playoff win over Spezia
June 1 (Reuters) - Cremonese were promoted to Serie A after a two-year absence, following a 3–2 victory at Spezia in the second leg of their playoff final on Sunday. After the first game ended goalless on Thursday, the second match turned into a thriller as a double from Manuel De Luca and a goal from Michele Collocolo gave Cremonese a three-goal lead. Spezia rallied with two late goals but could not overcome the deficit and will remain in Serie B for the next season. The Lombardy club Cremonese, relegated in 2023, will now join Pisa and Sassuolo in returning to Italian top flight, taking the places of Empoli, Venezia and Monza, who were relegated at the end of the season. "This season will be remembered for all we achieved: with sheer determination and plenty of drive, we secured promotion," Cremonese manager Giovanni Stroppa told DAZN.

🇮🇹 Two years on, Cremonese return to Serie A
After losing last year's playoff final against Venezia, Cremonese managed to overcome Spezia and, in a packed Picco, achieved promotion to Serie A after two years. A crazy match with Cremo ahead 3-0 until the 84th minute, when Spezia reopened the game in 60 seconds with goals from Pio Esposito and Luca Vignali. This is the third promotion from Serie B to Serie A for Giovanni Stroppa, who, after Crotone and Monza, achieves the hat-trick for the second time against D'Angelo. Advertisement On the other hand, it's a tough blow for a Spezia side that, throughout the year, had even dreamed of direct promotion, fighting with Pisa and, for long stretches, hoping to put 15 points between themselves and the grigiorossi. Mudo Vázquez the protagonist After the 0-0 draw in the first leg, Spezia had two out of three, but Franco Vázquez made the difference. The 'Mudo,' who had been suspended in recent months due to a ban following racist comments towards Dorval, provided the assist to De Luca and then scored twice in the second half.
