Vardy's name is associated with the greatest achievement in the history of world sports: The 2015/16 Premier League championship. In that mythical season, the British striker scored 24 goals after 36 matches, contributing to the Leicester from the relegation race team into an immortal champion. In addition, he and Leicester raised the FA Cup in 2021.
Not only shining at the club level, Vardy used to play England 26 times, scoring 7 goals in the period of 2015–2018. Now, Cremones expects his peak experience to help the rookie team firmly in Serie A 2025/26, avoiding the situation of returning to Serie B after only a promotion season.
In fact, the army of coach Davide Nicola started impressive. After ranking in the season 2024/25, Cremonese created a big shock when winning both Milan and Sassuolo in two rounds of Serie A. The appearance of Vardy promises to be more powerful, both professional and mental, for the Lombardy team.
If in time to integrate, Vardy can launch Cremonese during a trip to Verona on September 15. After that, the fans of the team will have the opportunity to first witness this old killer playing at home when CremoneSe welcomes Parma on September 21.
