Unione Sportiva Pergolettese 1932[1] is an Italian association football club, based in Crema, province of Cremona, Lombardy. It currently plays in Serie C, the third level of Italian football.

History

From Pergolettese to Pergocrema

The origins of the football in Crema go back to 1932 when U.S. Pergolettese was founded in Pergoletto, a suburb of the town.

In 1974 the club was renamed U.S. Pergocrema 1932.

In the

Serie C2 2007–08 regular season the team finished first in Girone A, winning direct promotion to the now called Lega Pro Prima Divisione
for the 2008–09 season. In that season Pergocrema obtain an historical 11th place, the best result of all times for the team.

In the 2009-10 Lega Pro Season, Pergocrema finished 15th and were forced to play in the relegation playoffs. They were matched up against 16th-placed Pro Patria, and survived by being the higher classified team after the 2-legged playout finished in a 3–3 aggregate tie.

The bankruptcy and rebirth

On 20 June 2012 with the club in strong financial difficulty, Pergocrema was declared bankrupt by the court of Crema and the team was disbanded.[2]

The club generated paper-profit by selling

Niccolò Galli for €250,000 each. In June 2011, one year before the bankruptcy, both players returned to Parma for €125,000 each but again in pure exchange deal, for Makris Petrozzi
for €250,000.

At the end of the 2011–12 Serie D season, Pizzighettone[3] moved to city of Crema and changed its name to U.S. Pergolettese 1932 in order to continue the football history of U.S. Pergocrema 1932.[4]

Pergolettese was promoted to

Reggio Audace (formerly Reggiana), under the tenure of former Serie A defender Matteo Contini
as head coach.
