History
Como were first promoted to Serie A in 1949 and enjoyed[tone] a respectable[tone] four-year stay before relegation, the next 20 years were spent moving between Serie B and C but more often the former.[citation needed] A revival in the 1970s saw the club emerge as contenders for promotion to Serie A, this was achieved in 1975, but despite the best efforts of players such as Alessandro Scanziani they would last only a season.[citation needed] They would slump[tone] to C1 by 1978, but with a rebuilt team containing stars[tone] like Pietro Vierchowod would achieve successive promotions and a two-year stay in Serie A (1980–82).[citation needed]
Como managed another promotion to the top flight in 1984, with a five-year stint in Serie A proving the club's most successful period of recent times.[citation needed] The strikeforce of Dan Corneliusson and Stefano Borgonovo oversaw a 9th-place finish in 1986, which was repeated the following year with far fewer goals scored.[citation needed] The club's defence, led by hard man[tone] Pasquale Bruno, proved more than up to the task[tone] however.[citation needed] Relegation in 1989 precipitated a rapid decline, with Como spending most of the 1990s in Serie C1 with the exception of 1994–95.[citation needed] Former Chelsea and Tottenham goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini spent a year on loan at Como.[citation needed]

New economic problems arose in the 2016–17 season, forcing the club to be declared out of business and put on auction.[clarification needed][citation needed] At the fourth auction, the assets of the club were acquired by Akosua Puni Essien, wife of the Ghanaian footballer Michael Essien and first foreign businesswoman in Italian football (via her company F.C. Como S.r.l.).[7]
However,
After winning the Round B of Serie D, Como returned to professional football in 2019.[citation needed]
