Franco Vazquez has already taken Cremonese: the grigiorossa formation beat Lumezzane 2-1 in a friendly thanks to a brace scored in the first half (a header goal and one on a penalty kick) by the former Parma and Palermo player. In the second half Calì, again from the penalty spot, halved the disadvantage.

Serie BKT 2023/24 will start on Friday, August 18, with the other matches of the first day to be played on the following 2 days, Saturday, August 19 and Sunday, August 20.

The three relegated from Serie A at the end of last season, Sampdoria, Cremonese precisely, and Spezia will find a tough row to hoe: the competition is really thick.
