Ascoli

Club History: After 13 years, Ascoli returned to Serie A. This team has played in Serie A for 12 seasons and Serie A for 14 years. The first time they competed in Serie A was in the 1974-1975 season. In the 1979-1980 season, the team achieved the best result in history: fifth in Serie A and reaching the UEFA Cup. The last time Ascoli played in Serie A was back in the 1992-93 season. This is also the third time Ascoli has participated in Serie A in history. . The promotion to Serie A this time was not due to their outstanding performance. Last season, Ascoli only finished sixth in Serie B. The main reason was that Serie B champion Genoa, runner-up Turin and fourth-place Perugia were ordered to be relegated due to match-fixing issues or financial problems. Ascoli was able to fill the vacancy. Regarding this upgrade, Ascoli Club Chairman Bernini said: "The great football of Delluca (the team's home stadium) is back. I have accomplished this great feat with the help of many great people who are higher than me. Frankly speaking, I am religious and make the sign of the cross every time I pass by the statue of the god. The upgrade of the team really makes me happy." Excited, I want to dedicate this classic moment to my family and my fans, who have always believed in me. Of course, I also know that the new season has a heavy responsibility. A year ago, we were still playing in Serie B, and now we will face a team like Milan in two weeks. "Ascoli's main goal in the new season is still to avoid relegation.
