Bazo + Pirro + Pep's team somehow...114 Years of Bankruptcy in Brescia

Italian sports magazine Gazeta-Delosport reported on the 8th (Korea time) 'Brescia went bankrupt without meeting the deadline for registration in the Italian professional league, and the amateur league will start again.'
Brescia, who belonged to Serie B (second division) this season, was disciplined to cut four points in February after cheating such as team wages, transfer fees, and tax arrears was discovered. Brescia ranked 15th in the remaining league with 43 points, but the relegation to Serie C (third division) was confirmed as it ranked 19th due to points reduction.
However, as the owner of the team, Masimo Celino, delayed the team's registration of the league, conflicts with the Italian Football Association (FIGC) continued. When the arrears were not paid, FIGC imposed additional points cuts. Gazeta-Delosport said `Selino insisted he was staying in London, England, and was negotiating a sale with an American company, but not only did he cut off contact with everyone at the deadline for registration of the league, but he also fired all his club lawyers, accountants and others.' Brescia's debt is known to be about 2.5 million euros (about 3.8 billion won), 2.4 million euros in overdue taxes (about 3.7 billion won), and 3 million euros (about 4.6 billion won) in league tuition.
Local clubs gathered as Brescia was on the verge of disintegration. Lumechane, Ospitaleto, and Peralpisalo, which are based in Lombardy such as Brescia, have sought a solution through the arrangement of the Brescia market. However, the situation did not calm down, with Brescia supporters protesting against the merger with them, and eventually accepted the fate of bankruptcy and disintegration.
Brescia has mainly played in the second division. It was far from the prestigious teams that dominated Serie A in terms of performance. However, it is famous for being a team that has gone through a lot of stars. Italian legend Roberto Bazo has been designated as Brescia's permanent number as he burned down his last active days. In addition to Bazo, there was a time when stars who made it to Italy and Europe, such as Andrea Pirlo, Georget, Pep Guardiola, and Luca Toni, played and stood out in Serie A. However, in the midst of financial difficulties and the owner's tyranny, he ended up shedding tears.
