Cremonese is a feel-good story in Serie A, as they are a team that has not historically stuck around in the top level of Italian football. Suffering long periods of low points, this club is back playing in Serie A matchups today. While the all-time Cremonese stats are not flattering in this league, you can be sure that fans of the club will enjoy every match on their Serie A schedule.
Cremonese General info
Cremonese is a club that resides in the city of Cremona in northern Italy, which competes in Serie A. The home matches of the Cremonese schedule are played at Stadio Giovanni Zini, which is a 20,000-seat stadium that has been around since the late 1910s.
Cremonese History
This club was founded in 1903 and was one of the original members of Serie A in the 1929-30 campaign. However, they have spent the vast majority of their years in lower leagues. Cremonese has spent 83 of its 91 years playing in Serie B or lower, having to climb all the way up from Serie D at one point in order to make its way back to the highest level of domestic competition in Italy.
Cremonese Records
The all-time record holder for goals at Cremonese is Emiliano Mondonico, who played for the club over two stints from 1966-68 and 1972-79. At that time, Cremonese was anywhere from a Serie B to a Serie D team, but Mondonico played for the team before and after his time at Atalanta and Torino. Originally from the province of Cremona, Mondonico’s attachment to his local club and his success there make for a nice story for their record goal scorer.
In terms of matches played, left-back Gianpaolo Bellini is the all-time leader for Atalanta. He made 435 appearances for the club, over 100 more than anyone else in its history. There are currently four players in the history of Atalanta BC that have logged 300 or more appearances in their careers with the club.
Championships won by Cremonese
Cremonese’s biggest triumphs came in Serie C, which they won three times, with the most recent of those titles coming in the mid-1970s. With no standout performances in the Serie A standings in their history, Cremonese betting odds for this year are more heavily focused on relegation than a title. Based on the past Serie A betting stats for the club, another trip to Serie B is certainly possible.
Historical Events
There is no top-flight championship experience to draw from for Cremonese. However, they have earned promotion to Serie A on five occasions. The majority of those promotions saw the team relegated the very next season, with Serie A odds being stacked against them this year as a result of that history. However, the team did last a few seasons after being promoted in 1993, lasting until the end of the 1995-96 campaign.

Cremonese’s Best Coaches
With the Cremonese stats in Serie A not being very impressive historically, the best managers in the history of the club are typically the ones that have achieved promotions to the top-flight. Managers like Luigi Simoni and Fabio Pecchia simply getting this team to the highest level of the sport domestically is an accomplishment that is hard to replicate. Now the team is hoping for a manager to help it accomplish great things in Serie A itself.
From a historical standpoint, Ottavio Barbieri also deserves some recognition. He was the first manager to lead Atalanta to Serie A, during his tenure in the mid-1930s. While other managers have clearly surpassed his accomplishments with the club, he was the first to get them to the first division in Italian football.
