Monza is one of those Italian clubs that have had a late rise in the Italian footballing scene and are dreaming of big things due to their recent exploits. Founded in 1912, the club mostly lurked in the lower divisions of the Italian league but never fell short in their hard work. They kept on striving hard and came close to achieving promotion to the Serie A a few times but couldn't quite make it. Monza got the tag of underdogs from the locals, as their reputation as a team remained that of a club with a lot of grit and pride who never managed to cross the finishing line. After a change of ownership in 2018, Monza got their much-needed push, and it was in 2022 that they achieved their first-ever promotion to the Italian top flight. They sit 11th in the Serie B table as of today, as they look to bounce back to the top division in the coming times.
