Catania Calcio is no longer part of professional football.
“With great pain, I confirm that the club has declared bankruptcy and will no longer be able to participate in Serie C. This is a situation that, as president of this league, I did not want to have to deal with”, said Francesco Ghirelli.
Catania played between 2006 and 2014 in Serie A fighting among the best in Italian football. It counted, for example, with the leadership of Diego Simeone, in a short experience that took 'El Cholo' to At. Madrid, and with other quality players, such as Papu Gómez, now at Sevilla, and Ezequiel Schelotto.
In the recent past, the club quickly descended to the third tier of Italian football due to lack of sporting results. The change of ownership did not work for the club, which is now abandoning the stages it has been on since 1946.
