Vardy suddenly involved in relegation battle with Cremonese
Jamie Vardy's side, Cremonese, have surprisingly been involved in the Serie A survival race despite a stunning start to the season.
football-italia.netHere’s what I can share right now about Jamie Vardy and Cremonese’s relegation situation in Serie A.
Bottom line
- Cremonese were relegated to Serie B at the end of the 2025-26 season, with Jamie Vardy contributing in their campaign but unable to prevent drop. This confirms the relegation outcome despite efforts to climb out of danger.[1][2][4][5]
Context and timeline
- Vardy joined Cremonese on deadline day last summer and helped the side make an unexpectedly strong start before the season’s late decline. He has been involved in multiple key moments as Cremonese pressed to avoid relegation, including scoring and assisting in the run-in.[2][5][8]
- The club’s relegation battle intensified in spring 2026, with coaching changes and a string of winless results contributing to the final outcome.[3][2]
Current status and implications
- Relegation to Serie B typically leads to significant squad changes and potential departures of higher-earning players; Vardy’s future with Cremonese would depend on both his performance and the club’s recruitment strategy for rebuilding in Serie B.[5][1]
- There has been ongoing media discussion about Vardy’s role and potential next steps, including rumours about a possible return to English football or other opportunities, but nothing confirmed beyond Cremonese’s relegation outcome.[4][7]
