The first team from Crotone, Società sportiva Crotona, was founded adenine soon as September 1910, but without adhering to Italian Football Federation, and the postdate main teams of Crotone, like Milone Crotone, did not participated before 1921-1923 in several minor leagues including Prima Divisione ( which late would be known as Serie C ). Following World War II, a new club, Unione Sportiva Crotone replaced the previous one, playing seven seasons in Serie C. In 1963, the golf club was relegated to Serie D, but returned to the third division the follow year, remaining there for fourteen straight seasons, missing promotion in 1977 when finishing one-third behind Bari and Paganese. In 1978, following the italian football league reorganization, Crotone was relegated to Serie C2 and the follow year was declared bankrupt. A new club, Associazione Sportiva Crotone, began competing again in the Prima Categoria ( eighth division ). Crotone was promoted to Serie C2 in 1984–85, but only for one season. The team ‘s list was changed to Kroton Calcio, and the baseball club was promoted again to C2 after the 1986–87 season, where it played until 1991. A second bankruptcy led to the foundation of Football Club Crotone Calcio with Raffaele Vrenna as president, starting in the Promozione ( 7th horizontal surface ). Crotone gained consecutive promotions to Serie C2 and C1, winning in the play-offs against Locri and Benevento, respectively. Under Antonello Cuccureddu, Crotone foremost reached Serie B in 2000, returning to the second level two seasons late. Again in division two in 2004, after disposing of Viterbese in the promotion play-offs, it remained in the class until the 2006–07 season. After being beaten by Taranto in the 2008 play-offs, Crotone returned to the irregular division the follow season, defeating Benevento. The team was promoted to Serie A, the italian top trajectory, for the inaugural time in its history in 2016. [ 3 ] In the 2016–17 season, the golf club finished 17th, securing a place in the following Serie A temper. This was despite the Calabrian side only winning two points from the inaugural ten matches, one of the poorest starts the italian top-flight had seen in years. Crotone remained in the relegation positions for about the stallion temper before an impressive revival saw the clubhouse achieve a seven-match unbeaten prevail from matchdays 30 to 36, including five wins in that time, and the season was concluded with a 3-1 victory over Lazio on the last matchday, a resultant role that saw Crotone alternate above Empoli to 17th stead and therefore secured another season in Serie A in what was hailed as a football miracle, led by 13-goal top scorekeeper Diego Falcinelli and coach Davide Nicola. [ 4 ] In the come temper, Crotone failed to avoid relegation after losing against Napoli in the last pit of the Serie A campaign, returning to Serie B after two seasons. Following the 2019-20 temper, the club was promoted to Serie A once more in second space, merely behind Benevento in the table. however, the club ‘s top-flight political campaign was less than satisfactory. After spending the majority of the season in the last touch of the postpone, and losing incredible matches that were an early indicator of the asperity the baseball club would endure, Crotone was mathematically relegated to Serie B after 34 games, following a loss to manque champions Inter. This relegation came in contrast with several excellent performances from individual players, particularly striker Simy, who scored 20 league goals during the season, a record for a relegate team. [ 5 ] Nevertheless, the 92 goals Crotone conceded was one more than Casale conceded in 1933-34, setting a new Serie A record for goals against in a individual season. [ 6 ]
