You're right Como really surprised everyone last season because at the start of the season Como was sitting in the bottom of the table for almost ten matches so how they picked form and started getting results is what no body knows but they changed about two managers last season coming to this season I expect that they should consolidate on the performance of last season and fight for a place to qualify for Europe and with the players that they have signed come is a top contender in the Italian seria A
There are still many obstacles for Como to improve on last season's position. But if the Como players' determination remains extraordinary, I think Como can reach the position you're talking about. However, a team like Como will have to be able to compete quite fiercely if they want to achieve more surprising achievements, as some teams in Italy have already made quite a few changes before the season officially begins.
Como is one of those mediocre clubs that took a long time to achieve success here.
Financially, the coach and players also need to be given serious attention before they can compete competitively in the league.
I remember in other leagues like La Liga, Girona was promoted and surprised everyone with excellent results, but then, with the change of season, Girona went back to their bad form.
This is similar to what happened to Como, who looked good when promoted, but then lost consistency a few seasons later.
Consistency is the hardest thing to maintain, and mediocre clubs are always unable to maintain their best performance.
