History

Following the club's cancellation from the Italian football panorama, then Cosenza Mayor Eva Catizone started a group with the aim to form a new club, A.S. Cosenza F.C., that was successively admitted into Serie D as relocation of rival Calabrian side Castrovillari.

In 2005 AS Cosenza FC switched its denomination into A.S. Cosenza Calcio. However, the club missed promotion once again in 2006 and 2007, being defeated by Siracusa in the promotion playoffs both times.
