Goals from Nnamdi Oduamadi and Giuseppe De Feudis in either half earned Torino the victory over Modena, which mathematically assures them of one of the two automatic promotion places from Serie B.

The seven-time Italian champions, who complete their campaign against rock-bottom AlbinoLeffe next weekend, have been outside the top flight since being relegated in 2009.

Torino president Urbano Cairo said: "This promotion fills my heart with joy following all th e suffering, given that this is our third year in Serie B. I thank everyone for what they did.

"It's a victory for our fans. We will now get to work immediately on ensuring we remain in Serie A."

Cairo also confirmed that coach Giampiero Ventura has renewed his contract and will lead the team next season.
