Piacenza Calcio 1919 Srl , known as Piacenza Calcio , is an Italian football club based in the Emilian city ​​of Piacenza . The club, founded in 1919 as Piacenza FC , played eight seasons in Serie A between 1993 and 2003 . After the insolvency in 2012 the related automatic relegation and in the sechstklassige Eccellenza plays the club currently in the third-tier Serie C .

history

Beginnings (1919–1945)

In the early years of the 20th century, there were numerous small clubs in the Italian city ​​of Piacenza , located in the Emilia-Romagna region . Many of these small clubs merged in 1919 to form an association called Piacenza Calcio . This measure was initiated by a group of students and employees. One of these students, 18-year-old Giovanni Dosi, became the first president of the newly founded association. The board chose the colors red and white as the club colors, which are also the colors of the city of Piacenza.

In his first season in the league, 1919/20, he was promoted from the Promozione to the Prima Categoria, the second division in Italian football at that time, after having left FC Parma and AC Reggiana behind in the table . When Serie A was launched as the highest Italian division, Piacenza Calcio was downgraded to the Seconda Divisione, the then third division. In the following years Piacenza Calcio always ranked in the front midfield of today's Lega Pro Prima Divisione , but without making the leap into Serie B.

Post-war period (1945–1964)

No league games were played between 1943 and 1945 due to the Second World War , in which Italy was involved on the side of Hitler's Germany . After Piacenza Calcio finished 7th in Serie C last season before the forced break , the team made it into Serie B in the first season after the end of the most devastating conflict of modern times. There they ranked in the Girona B in the end , in a group with today's first division clubs like Udinese Calcio , AC Parma and AC Siena , on rank 12, which meant safe relegation. AS Lucchese Libertas was able to move up to Serie A this season , while AC Mestre , AS Forlì and AC Cesena had to relegate to Serie C. In the following season you had to go back to series C, after only rank 9 was occupied in the table and the teams relegated to places 8 to 17. AC Mantova , Udinese Calcio and FBC Treviso also had to make it into the third division . In the season 1954/55 Piacenza Calcio even had to relegate to the IV series, which existed from 1952 to 1959 as a supplement to the C series. After another brief interlude in the third division, the formerly second-rate club rose from the 1960/61 to Serie D, which meant the previous negative climax in the club's history.

Constant change between series C1 and series B (1964–1993)

After three years in Serie D , Piacenza Calcio managed to get promoted back to Serie C in the 1963/64 season, by the way, together with FC Crotone , FBC Treviso and Ternana Calcio . In the very first season after the recovery, Piacenza managed to place 6th. After a second place behind Como Calcio in 1967/68 , the return to Serie B succeeded in first place with a six point lead in front of the US Triestina . But together with the AC Reggiana and the CFC Genua 1893 you had to go back to the Series C immediately. Five years later, they were promoted to the second Italian soccer league, but relegated again only a year later. When Serie C was divided into Serie C1 (third division) and Serie C2 (fourth division) in 1978 , Piacenza was able to qualify for today's Lega Pro Prima Divisione, then Serie C1. After five years in the third division, relegation to Serie C2 followed in 1983. But just a year later they found themselves back in the C1 series. There the team was able to establish itself and in 1987 celebrated the renewed promotion to Serie B. After a few more league changes they found their place in Serie B and reached in the season 1992/93 by a third place together with AC Reggiana, the US Cremonese and US Lecce promotion to the Serie A .

Years in Serie A and Serie B (1993-2010)

After making the leap to Serie A in 1993 , he was relegated again the next season. After first place in Serie B , however, they were back in the first division a year later. This time Piacenza Calcio could even hold five years in the top division, where you had to deny relegation games against relegation against Cagliari Calcio in the 1996/97 season , where you could prevail. 1999/2000 followed with 18 points behind the first non-relegation place the relegation from Serie A, in which the club was able to return again after a year. In the following two years you saw Piacenza for the last time in Serie A, after the team could not qualify for Serie A again after relegation in 2003. Once, in 2006/07 , Piacenza only narrowly failed in fourth place on the rise, which this season Juventus Turin , brought back to Serie B by the betting scandal uncovered the previous year, which SSC Napoli managed after surviving bankruptcy and CFC Genoa . Otherwise, Piacenza was in the midfield of Serie B from 2003 to 2010.

Bankruptcy and crash into the sixth division (2010-2012)

In the 2010/11 season Piacenza could not repeat relegation. After many defeats against direct competitors and too few points in the end of the season, Armando Madonna's team fell to 19th place, which was synonymous with participating in the play-outs. After a 0-0 in the first leg and a 2-2 in the second leg against UC AlbinoLeffe , relegation from Serie B to Lega Pro Prima Divisione was certain.

Before the 2011/12 season , President Fabrizio Garilli made public that he wanted to sell the club due to the sporting and economic situation. In October 2011 a consortium was found that was ready to take over the association, which ended Piacenza's leadership by the Garilli family after more than 28 years. The economic situation did not improve, however, as the association was returned to Fabrizio Garilli due to the failure of the consortium. In March 2012, Piacenza was declared bankrupt, but was able to end the season. In terms of sport, the team under Francesco Monaco would have managed to stay in the league, but due to a deduction of nine points due to economic problems, the team finished in 17th place in the table. Again the participation in the play-outs followed, in which the AC Prato, however, just kept the upper hand. Piacenza would have had to relegate it to the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione , but in June 2012 the club was declared bankrupt and excluded from playing in the fourth division. The association "Salva Piace" acquired the trademark, material and sports rights of the association and transferred them for four years to the association LibertasSpes , which had made it to the sixth class Eccellenza Emilia-Romagna . LibertasSpes was renamed Lupa Piacenza and thus the direct successor of Piacenza FC including all its rights.

New start in amateur football (2012-2015)

The start of the 2012/13 season was initially bumpy. Under coach Carlo Sozzi, who had previously led LibertasSpes to the sixth division, Piacenza was eliminated in the amateur cup. Before the start of the league, the club split from Sozzi and hired William Viali as his successor. Success under Viali quickly set in and Piacenza dominated the league, so that the championship and the associated promotion from Eccellenza Emilia-Romagna to Serie D were already three game days before the end of the season.

At the beginning of the 2013/14 season , the club was renamed Piacenza Calcio 1919 and at the same time decoupled from Libertas Spes , who then re-founded in the lower amateur area. Despite a respectable start to the season, Viali was released after nine match days and replaced by Roberto Venturato . After the results even worsened under the new coach, the club reacted in early January and replaced Venturato with his predecessor Viali. This led the team to third place at the end of the season and thus into the play-offs. There Piacenza was subject to Seregno Calcio , which is why the collaboration with Viali was terminated. Due to the amalgamation of the Lega Pro Prima Divisione and the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione to Lega Pro , the Serie D was again fourth class, which Piacenza was upgraded as one of the better teams from the fifth to the fourth division.

The new coach for the 2014/15 season was Francesco Monaco , who had already looked after Piacenza in the 2011/12 . Under Monaco, the team played in the top tier of the league, but lost the connection to first place, the only secure promotion rank. Monaco was therefore released after the first half of the season and replaced by Luciano De Paolo . Under De Paolo, Piacenza reached fourth place, but failed in the play-offs at AC Delta Porto Tolle Rovigo . De Paolo also did not remain in office after unsuccessful play-offs.

Return to professional football (since 2015)

For the 2015/16 season , Piacenza signed Arnaldo Franzini as a new coach. Franzini had led city ​​rivals AS Pro Piacenza 1919 from Serie D to the new Lega Pro in 2013/14 and managed to stay up in 2014/15 . Under Franzini, the team played more offensive football and dominated the league for the entire season. With seven game days to go, Piacenza secured the championship ahead of their only rival Calcio Lecco . Associated with this was the promotion from Serie D to Lega Pro and thus the return to professional football. On the last day of the match, the team also set new records in Serie D with 30 wins and 96 points.

Before and during the 2016/17 season , Piacenza signed former Italian national players Ivan Pelizzoli and Andrea Dossena and brought back a former long-time player in Matteo Abbate . All three left the club, however, at the end of the season. This was ultimately the sixth place in the table after the start of the season was mixed, but the team improved over the course. In the play-offs achieved as a result, Piacenza failed to Parma Calcio and remained in the third division, which was again called Serie C from summer 2017 .

With sixth place in the preseason, Piacenza qualified for the first time in six years for the Coppa Italia , whose early rounds take place before the start of the season. In the Cup season 2017/18 Piacenza beat in the second round away to second division club Novara Calcio and failed in the third round of the first division club FC Crotone . The 2017/18 season started with two defeats, but the team quickly stabilized and settled in the middle of the table. Thanks to a strong sprint to the end of the season, Piacenza finished eighth and qualified again for the Coppa Italia and the play-offs. In these, however, the SS Sambenedettese narrowly maintained itself .

In the 2018/19 cup season, Piacenza was already defeated in the first round of the SS Monopoli in 1966 on penalties . The season 2018/19 started Piacenza successfully and was able to settle from the start in the top flight. Mixed performances at the beginning of the year and the defeat against competitor Virtus Entella at the end of February made hopes of promotion to Serie B wane. However, Piacenza was able to win eight of the next nine games and thus conquered the top of the table one game day before the end of the season. This was lost to Virtus Entella after the defeat against Robur Siena . Imolese Calcio was defeated in the play-off semi-finals in 1919 , but Piacenza lost to Trapani Calcio in the final and remained in Serie C.

In the 1st round of the Coppa Italia 2019/20 Piacenza won on penalties against AS Viterbese Castrense , but lost 3-1 to Trapani Calcio in the 2nd round .

In the season 1919/20 Piacenza took part in the Promozione Emilia , which represented a qualification for the league classification of the season 1920/21 and is therefore not to be regarded as a season in the true sense. In addition, the seasons 1943/44 and 1944/45 were not played due to the Second World War .

Club symbolism

Colours

The official club colors red and white are taken from the city arms and have been used since it was founded in 1919. The home jerseys are traditionally in red and accented in white, the away jerseys are in white and accented in red. Since the 1990s, blue had established itself as another color, including for the third and third jerseys. The blue became darker and darker over the years, so that black has established itself as an alternative color since the mid-2000s .

coat of arms

The association's coat of arms since the 1980s

The first club coat of arms was an oval shape with the content of the city coat of arms (white cube on a red background and crossing ) and the text "Piacenza FBC". In the 1970s, a coat of arms in the form of a red and white checkered ball with a "P" inside was introduced. In the 1980s, the current club crest followed in red and white with the words "Piacenza Calcio" and the Capitoline she-wolf , which is also included in the city crest .

anthem

Since it was re-established in 2012, the hymn "T'al digh in piasintëin" (Italian: Te lo dico in piacentino ), composed in the Piacentine dialect, has been used as an official club song . It was interpreted by Gianni Levoni in 1942 and at that time probably served as an anthem for the city and province of Piacenza . It was reinterpreted for the club by the dialect singer Gianna Casella, who died a short time later.

Stadio Comunale di Piacenza

One year after it was founded, Piacenza FC moved into the Stadio Comunale di Piacenza as its home ground. The Stadio Barriera Genova , popularly named after the district of the same name , was rebuilt in 1920 after Piacenza's rise to the Prima Categoria and opened with a friendly against AC Milan on September 20. Due to dilapidation and an accident caused by a failed concrete, which resulted in a death, the city of Piacenza decided to build a new stadium in the Galleana district. The last game at the Stadio Comunale , in which local rivals AS Pro Piacenza had played since 1947, took place in June 1969. The stadium was then torn down and an area was created for new residential buildings.

Leonardo Garilli Stadium

Stadio Leonardo Garilli (December 2019)

→ Main article : Stadio Leonardo Garilli

Since 1969, Piacenza Calcio has played its home games at the Stadio Leonardo Garilli in 1919 . The first game took place on August 31, 1969 in the course of the cup group stage against AC Turin . The venue was officially opened three weeks later in the league against AC Perugia . At the opening, the stadium in the Gallena district was named Stadio Galleana , but was renamed Stadio Leaonardo Garilli in 1997 after long-time president Leonardo Garilli had died shortly before. The stadium has a 105 × 65 meter playing field as well as an athletics facility and has been able to accommodate 21,668 spectators since Piacenza's first promotion to Serie A and an accompanying renovation in 1993. In addition to Piacenza Calcio 1919, AS Pro Piacenza also played at the Stadio Leonardo Garilli from 2014 to 2019 .
