Thierry Henry’s dream of seeing Como in Serie A became a reality as the Italian second-tier club secured promotion on Friday. The team, led by Henry’s former Arsenal teammate Cesc Fabregas, managed to clinch second place in Serie B after a nail-biting draw with Cosenza. This achievement marked the end of Como’s 21-year absence from the top tier of Italian football.
Henry, the French football legend who is set to coach France’s men’s under-23 team at the Paris Olympics, made a strategic investment in Como two years ago. The club, situated in a picturesque lakeside stadium just 50 kilometers north of Milan, has seen a significant turnaround since Henry’s involvement. With a potential spot in Serie A now within reach, Como’s future looks brighter than ever.
Following Frosinone’s devastating 5-0 loss to Serie A champions Inter Milan, the team is facing the looming threat of relegation. Currently sitting in 16th place on the 20-team table, Frosinone is only two points above the relegation zone with two games left in the season. With six teams still vying to avoid demotion, the pressure is on for Frosinone to secure their spot in Serie A for next season.
Inter Milan’s commanding victory over Frosinone showcased their dominance in Serie A this season. Davide Frattesi, Marko Arnautovic, Tajon Buchanan, Lautaro Martinez, and Marcus Thuram all made significant contributions to the 5-0 win. The result not only sealed Inter’s status as champions but also dealt a critical blow to Frosinone’s survival hopes.
Thierry Henry’s investment in Como has proven to be a wise decision, culminating in the club’s promotion to Serie A. While Como celebrates their successful season, Frosinone faces an uphill battle to avoid relegation. As the Serie A season draws to a close, the drama and excitement in Italian football continue to captivate fans around the world.
