Sierra Leone International Augustus Kargbo Italian side Cesena made history in Serie C with a total of 96 points, equalling the record set by Catanzaro just a year ago, thanks to their 2-0 victory over Perugia in the final league game of the season.
Kargbo, who started the tie before he was subbed off in the 56th minute, had nine goal contributions that played a pivotal role in their success after joining the team on a three-year contract with Cesena after departing Crotone last summer.
Cesena has secured automatic promotion to the Italian Serie B after finishing first in Serie C Group B. The 2022-23 Serie B season (known as Serie BKT due to sponsorship reasons) marks the 91st season of the league since its establishment in 1929.
During the match against Perugia, Prestia scored his first goal of the season, and Corazza converted a penalty to secure the win.
“The work with the young players started last season; we believed in them, and they have paid us back extraordinarily. There was the right mix with the more experienced players who took energy from the young ones and vice versa,” head coach Toscano told the club’s website.
