Parma Calcio 1913 , or Parma Calcio for short , is an Italian football club from the Emilian city ​​of Parma . Other names are I Crociati ("The Crusaders") and I Gialloblu ("The Yellow-Blue").

The club emerged in June 2015 from the bankrupt FC Parma , which in turn emerged in summer 2004 from the bankruptcy assets of the Parmalat group. The traditional club AC Parma was separated from this and re-established as FC Parma.

The club experienced its greatest successes in the 1990s when it took part in four European Cup finals under the name AC Parma (three in a row from 1993 to 1995), twice the UEFA Cup and once the European Cup Winners' Cup . Without ever having won a championship title, Parma Calcio is the fourth most successful club in Italy in the European Cup after the big three, Juventus Turin , AC Milan and Inter Milan . In addition, the Parmesans have won the Coppa Italia three times in five finals .

The best placement in Serie A , in which the club spent 24 seasons from 1990 to 2008 and from 2009 to 2015, was achieved by AC Parma with the 1997 runner-up. After relegation from the top league in 2015, the newly founded amateur club took part in the fourth class Series D part. In 2016/2017 Parma Calcio played in the Lega Pro and rose to the second-rate Serie B as runner-up after play-offs . In the 2017/18 season, the club was runner-up in Serie B. In the 2018/19 season, the club plays in Serie A. Thus, Parma Calcio was promoted to the next higher division three times in a row.

history

The Stadio Ennio Tardini , home of Parma Calcio since 1923

Foundation phase

The club was originally founded in 1913 under the name Verdi AC . However, the club name was quickly changed to the name of the city. From then on, the club shuttled between the second-rate Serie B and the third-rate Serie C for most of its existence . At the end of the 1960s, he then rose to the semi-professional leagues of Italy.

After the club had changed ownership and name several times, it merged with AC Parmense in 1970 . The club rose again to the Italian professional league system, but remained little successful until the mid-1980s.

Sports high phase

In 1985, the future Italian national coach Arrigo Sacchi took over the management of the club. Under his leadership, AC Parma became champions of the C1 series . When the club was in midfield of Serie B, Sacchi moved to AC Milan .

Sacchi's successor, Nevio Scala , led AC Parma to its first promotion to Serie A in 1990. With the signing of some talented players from abroad, Scala formed a top team. In the first year, the team managed to qualify for the UEFA Cup by finishing sixth in Serie A.

The success was financed by the Italian food company Parmalat, which made itself available as a sponsor and acquired a stake of 45 percent in the association.

The success of AC Parma at national and international level made the club interesting for numerous stars. The Italian internationals Fabio Cannavaro , Gianfranco Zola , Dino Baggio and Diego Fuser joined the club.

Coach Nevio Scala left the club in 1996 and his position was taken over by Carlo Ancelotti . With him in 1997 with the runner-up, the club achieved the best placement in its history. In the end, AC Parma was only two points behind champions Juventus Turin .

Since their promotion to Serie A , AC Parma has qualified for a European Cup every following year . The following three European trophies won by the club here: 1993 the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and 1995 and 1999 UEFA Cup.

Decline of AC Parma and re-establishment as FC Parma

In the summer of 2004, AC Parma's parent company, the Parmalat Group, had to file for bankruptcy. This also affected AC Parma. Only through a law introduced by the Italian Minister of Industry, Antonio Marzano, could the association be removed from the bankruptcy estate of Parmalat and thus saved from liquidation . As the successor club, FC Parma was founded, which took over the starting position of AC Parma in Serie A in the 2004/05 season and was placed under bankruptcy protection until the end of the 2005/06 season .

Changeable time as FC Parma and renewed decline

On December 15, 2004 Pietro Carmignani took over the coaching position of the Italian first division club and succeeded the previously dismissed Silvio Baldini , who had won the Coppa Italia with AC Parma in 2002. In the 2004/05 season , the financial turbulence almost led to the club's relegation, but the move to Serie B could just be avoided. In the following season things went better again and thanks to the judgments in the Italian football scandal, they were able to qualify  for the UEFA Cup again .

On May 12, 2008, a matchday before the end of the 2007/08 season, the coach Héctor Cúper, who was only obliged on March 11, 2008, was dismissed due to the threat of relegation. His successor was youth coach Andrea Manzo . At the end of the season, Parma FC rose to the bottom of the table in Serie B, but managed to get promoted again and played first class again in the 2009/10 season . At the end of the season, the league was secured by reaching eighth place, with three points behind Juventus Turin qualification for the UEFA Europa League was narrowly missed.

The 2010/11 season was mixed for FC Parma and the season ended in 12th place in the table. In contrast, they narrowly missed qualifying for the UEFA Europa League in the 2011/12 season as eighth in the table - in the end, two points were missing from Inter Milan, who were sixth in the table . After 10th place in the 2012/13 season , 2013/14 again achieved sporting qualification for the Europa League with 6th place, but Parma FC was excluded from participation by UEFA due to tax irregularities.

From a sporting point of view, the following season was catastrophic for Parma FC. Despite a few surprise victories at home against Juventus Turin , Fiorentina and Inter Milan and a 4-5 win against AC Milan , the club was at the bottom of the table early on. There were also three deductions from a total of seven points for financial reasons. In March 2015, the club was officially declared bankrupt. The debts amounted to 218 million euros. In some cases, the Parmesans could not even raise the money to host their home games, so they had to be postponed. Ultimately, the club rose with 19 points as the bottom of the table from Serie A, which would not have changed the sporting balance of 26 points without deductions.

Second start-up

On June 30, 2015, the club was re-established as Parma Calcio 1913 and took over from FC Parma in the amateur field in accordance with Article 52, Paragraph 10 of the Norme organizzative internal della FIGC (NOIF for short, German internal organization regulations of FIGC). In the 2015/16 season, Parma Calcio entered the fourth-class Serie D , the top division in the amateur field. The new president was former coach Nevio Scala , who had led AC Parma to the top in 1990. The club is supported by the food company Barilla and seven other investors. After three years under Roberto Donadoni, the coach was followed by the former AC Parma player, Luigi Apolloni , who had previously worked in Serie B and the Slovenian First League . After just one season in which the Serie D attendance record was doubled, the club rose directly to the professional Lega Pro with 94 points as the undefeated champion of its group . In 2016/2017 he made it through to Serie B, in 2017/2018 he was promoted to Serie A.
