U.S. Cremonese endured a difficult and turbulent 2006–07 season in Serie C1 Girone A. Under initial manager Corrado Verdelli, the team suffered a dismal first half of the campaign, languishing in the relegation zone at the winter break with a mere 16 points. This prompted a managerial change to Giorgio Roselli, who orchestrated a strong second-half turnaround to gather an additional 25 points. Powered by the goals of star striker Marco Carparelli, who finished the campaign with 16 league goals, the Grigiorossi narrowly secured safety. They avoided the relegation play-outs by a single point, officially cementing an 11th-place finish on the final matchday with a 0–0 draw against Cittadella at the Stadio Giovanni Zini.
