<p>ROME (AP) — Brescia, the club that Roberto Baggio ended his career with, had its national license revoked and was kicked out of Serie C on Thursday after going bankrupt, the Italian soccer federation announced.</p>
<p>Brescia owner Massimo Cellino's failure to pay back millions in debts had already resulted in the club's relegation from the second division.</p>
<p>Brescia finished the season one point above the relegation zone but was then hit with a four-point penalty for financial irregularities that dropped the team to the third division.</p>
<p>Now Brescia — which was founded 114 years ago — will likely have to form an entirely new club and restart in Serie D.</p>
<p>Baggio played for Brescia from 2000-2004 when the northern team was in Serie A. Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola briefly played alongside Baggio at Brescia in 2001-02.</p>
<p>Brescia last played in Serie A in 2019-20.</p>
