The 2024-24 Serie A campaign will feature an additional two American players.
Tanner Tessmann and Gianluca Busio earned promotion back to Italy’s top flight after winning the Serie B promotion playoffs on Sunday. Tessmann and Busio both featured as Venezia defeated Cremonese 1-0 in second leg action.
Busio assisted on the deciding goal of the two-legged series while Tessmann logged 90 minutes in each match.
Christian Gytkjaer’s 24th-minute finish broke the deadlock between the two sides on Sunday. Busio’s pass was finished off by the Danish forward, which proved to be the deciding goal of the match.
Busio played 59 minutes in midfield while Tessmann won 11 duels and completed four tackles over 90 minutes.
Both Tessmann and Busio were crucial to Venezia’s promotion this season. The pair combined for 13 goals and seven assists this season, featuring alongside one another for majority of the season.
Venezia will join Parma and Como as the third promoted side in Serie A next season. Fellow American Nicholas Gioacchini also earned promotion this season, while Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, Weston McKennie, and Tim Weah also remain in the league for next campaign.
