Italian media: Faced with financial crisis, 114-year-old club Brescia is about to declare bankruptcy
According to sofoot, Brescia, a 114-year-old Italian club, is about to declare bankruptcy. Brescia, who has had stars such as Baggio, Hamsik, Pirlo and Luca Toni, has lost the qualification to participate in the Italian league because its owner Massimo Cellino is unable to repay part of the club's debt (three million out of the eight million euros).
In the 2024-25 season, Brescia ranked 15th in Serie B with 43 points, but due to 4 points deducted by the Italian Football Association court, he eventually dropped to 18th and was relegated to Serie C. Before the financial crisis, Brescia played in Serie A for 23 seasons, the most recent in the 2019-2020 season. Like Brescia, clubs such as Naples, Florence, Verona, Catania and Palermo have also experienced bankruptcy in history.
