Sassuolo have confirmed their place in the 2025-26 Serie A season, sealing promotion from Serie B with five games still left on the calendar. The club spent just one year outside the top division, bouncing back at the first opportunity after their relegation last summer.
The Neroverdi had previously enjoyed 11 consecutive seasons at the highest level of Italian football before their recent drop. That brief setback now seems firmly behind them, as the team has shown consistency and strength throughout the campaign.
Grosso Leads Dominant Campaign
Under the guidance of head coach Fabio Grosso, Sassuolo have sat comfortably at the top of the Serie B table for most of the season. A 2-2 result against Mantova today was enough to mathematically secure promotion, allowing the team to celebrate early.
After 33 matches, Sassuolo have earned 75 points with an impressive record of 23 wins, six draws, and only four losses. Their offensive performance has been particularly notable, scoring 73 goals — the highest in the league — while conceding just 34.
Title Still Within Reach Despite Promotion
Although promotion is already secured, the Serie B title is not yet wrapped up. Pisa are the only team who can mathematically overtake Sassuolo, but the Neroverdi currently hold a nine-point advantage at the summit.
With five games remaining, Sassuolo will aim to finish the season in style and claim the championship to go along with their promotion. Securing the top spot would be a fitting reward for a campaign marked by dominance, resilience, and high-quality football.
The early return to Serie A signals that Sassuolo are ready to rejoin Italy’s football elite, and their fans will be hoping that this time, the stay at the top lasts even longer.
