Como Comeback Award Serie A

Propelled into Serie A without so much as a playoff, this is Como’s surprising comeback following a 21-year hiatus, a past bankruptcy, and a restart from the depths of Serie D.

This is their new introduction, a feat that might soon thrust this formidable debutant into the upper echelons of Italian football, displaying an ambition matching that of Bologna, Atalanta, and Monza.

Como is part of a sophisticated global football network, boasting top-tier Indonesian ownership, a minority stake held by French football legend Henry, and tactical guidance from Spanish maestro, Fabregas.

This season’s revelation, Como promises success and looks forward to 2024, when they aim to honour the legacy of Tommaso Maestrelli, being commemorated this month for guiding Lazio to glory 50 years ago.

Maestrelli, a true trailblazer, concluded his coaching career, despite battling illness, by steering Como to a hard-fought survival in his final tenure on the sidelines.
