Como’s long-awaited return to Serie A is nearing a triumphant conclusion, and their campaign has taken many Italian football pundits by surprise. For the club, this season stands out as an undeniable success.
On Matchday 36, Cesc Fabregas’ side secured an impressive 3-1 home win over Cagliari, their sixth consecutive victory—matching a club record set over half a century ago.
Their remarkable run has seen them defeat Monza, Torino, Lecce, Genoa, Parma, and now Cagliari. The last time a newly promoted team in Serie A achieved six straight wins was in 1973, when Lazio accomplished the feat.
With just two matches remaining—against Verona and Inter—Como sit 10th in the table, a strong position few would have predicted at the start of the season.
Fabregas’ managerial rise hasn’t gone unnoticed, either. While he currently plans to stay in Italy, interest from top European clubs could test his resolve come summer.
