Frosinone gain historic Serie A promotion

After Carpi’s historic promotion to the Serie A a couple of weeks ago, Frosinone clinched second place in the Serie B, to emulate Carpi’s feat and gain a historic Serie A promotion.

Frosinone President Maurizio Stirpe said their first ever promotion into Serie A “made my father’s dream come true.”

The tiny club from the Lazio region secured its place in the top flight thanks to a 3-1 win over Crotone, their 14th home victory of the campaign.

“I think that aside from the ability of my directors, this is the result of humility, the spirit of sacrifice and the unity of every component of the club over the last two years,” Stirpe said.

“Everyone deserves praise, es- pecially the players who believed right to the end. It’s a dream come true that nobody expected.

“I thought at most we’d be in the running for the play-offs, but this final run of eight games unbeaten was a surprise even to me. The squad believed, though.”

Frosinone had never been in Serie B until nine years ago, while this is their second consecutive promotion after stepping up from Lega Pro.

“All promotions are wonderful and every one is emblematic in certain ways. This one has made my father’s dream come true.

“The territory can recover its identity and spirit for a new era of development.”
