History

Cremonese was in Serie A in its first season (1929-30) but entered a long period of decline, languishing in the lower leagues before the late 1970s. By 1984 they had achieved promotion to Serie A, with one-year spells in 1984-85, 1989-90 and 1991-92.

Under Luigi Simoni, Cremonese returned to Serie A in 1993. Luigi "Gigi" Simoni (born January 22, 1939) is an Italian football manager and former player currently in office with Lucchese With a side containing quality in the form of defenders Luigi Gualco and Corrado Verdelli, midfield playmaker Riccardo Maspero and forwards Andrea Tentoni and Matjaž Florijančič, Cremonese held their own in Serie A with a highly respectable 10th place finish in 1993-94 but would be relegated in 1996. Riccardo Maspero (born February 19 1970 in Lodi, Italy is an Italian footballer who played as an attacking midfielder most notably with Cremonese. Matjaž Florijančič (born October 18, 1967 in Kranj, then Yugoslavia) is a former Slovenian Football (soccer player

Relegation resulted in the decline of the club, plummeting to Serie C2 by 2000 before achieving successive promotions back to Serie B by 2005. Giovanni Dall'Igna, another defender from the Serie A years, has since returned to the club.
