early history ( 1898–1947 ) [edit ]

Ancient Palermo FBC logo Anglo-Palermitan Athletic & Football Club line-up, 1900 historic firstline-up, 1900 There is some debate and doubt about the accurate go steady the club was founded. Some authorities think it may have been adenine early as 1898 due to the being of papers addressed to Joseph Whitaker, English consul in Palermo and originally believed to be first club president, about a Palermo football team founded in the calendar month of April of that class. [ 4 ] actually, there is a probable misinterpretation of some sources : in April 1897, the future founders of Palemo Calcio founded the association Sport Club. [ 5 ] The most park and officially stated basis date is 1 November 1900, [ 6 ] as the Anglo Palermitan Athletic and Football Club. The club is thought to have been founded by Ignazio Majo Pagano, a young Palermitan colleague of Whitaker who had discovered football while at college in London in the UK, where the modern game of football originated. The initial staff comprised three Englishmen and nine natives of Palermo, [ 7 ] with Whitaker as honorary chair, Edward De Garston as inaugural president and with red and gloomy as the original team semblance. The first recorded football meet, played by the team on 30 December 1900, ended in a 5–0 frustration to an unidentified amateur English team. The first official match, played on 18 April 1901 against Messina Football Club, ended in a 3–2 acquire to the Palermitan side. [ 8 ] In 1907, the club changed its appoint to Palermo Foot-Ball Club, and the team color were changed to the stream pink and black. [ 9 ] From 1908 until the concluding consequence in 1914, Palermo was featured in the Lipton Challenge Cup, organised by scots businessman Sir Thomas Lipton. The competition saw them face off against Naples FBC ; Palermo won the competition three times, including a 6–0 victory in 1912. [ 10 ] After a break during World War I, the baseball club was refounded in 1919 as Unione Sportiva Palermo, [ 11 ] by a committee of young university students and sportsmen. During the early 1920s, the club chiefly competed in the Campionato Lega Sud, a football league in Southern Italy, reaching the semi-finals in 1924 before being knocked out by Audace Taranto, Alba Roma and Internaples. The golf club was dissolved in 1927 due to fiscal problems, but was reformed one year late following a amalgamation with Vigor Palermo under the name Palermo FootBall Club. originally admitted to Prima Divisione ( First Division ), the equivalent of today ‘s Serie C1, [ 12 ] [ 13 ] the team was promoted into Serie B in 1930 and finally reached Serie A in 1932. From its introduction season in Italy ‘s crown division, Palermo relocated to a new home, the Stadio Littorio ( Lictorian stadium ) in the Favorita neighborhood, today known as Stadio Renzo Barbera. The club played Serie A until 1936, when they were relegated to Serie B and first played Catania in the sicilian bowler hat. [ 14 ] In 1936, Palermo was forced by the fascist government to change its clean to yellow and red, after the official color of the local municipality. [ 15 ] meanwhile, economic difficulties arose, and in 1940 they were expelled by the italian Football Federation because of fiscal problems. [ 15 ] A amalgamation with Unione Sportiva Juventina Palermo brought the foundation of Unione Sportiva Palermo-Juventina, which joined Serie C in 1941 and Serie B in 1942. [ 16 ]
The club could not finish the 1942–43 season due to the arrival of WWII. At the same prison term the pink-and-black colors were chosen because Sicily became a “ war zone ”. After the conflict, the club changed its diagnose to US Palermo .

Post-war years ( 1947–2002 ) [edit ]

After World War II, the team returned to Serie A by winning the Serie B championship of 1947–48. The new Palermo squad featured players such as czechoslovakian legend Čestmír Vycpálek who signed from Juventus aboard Conti, Carmelo Di Bella and Pavesi. [ 15 ] Palermo played Serie A until they were relegated in 1954. [ 15 ] [ 17 ] Massive changes in the board, equally well as the director ‘s caper and the police squad, proved successful and the club returned to Serie A in 1956. Palermo became a “ yo-yo club “, bouncing up and down between the crown two italian leagues. several stars played for Palermo during this time period, such as Argentine striker Santiago Vernazza ( 51 goals in 115 games with the Rosanero ), [ 18 ] goalkeepers Roberto Anzolin and Carlo Mattrel, Giuseppe Furino and Franco Causio. Palermo marked its best crusade in 1961–62 season, finishing in one-eighth rate in Serie A. In 1963, however, they were relegated to Serie B, where they played for five seasons. Palermo played again in Serie A between 1968 and 1970. In 1970, Renzo Barbera took over the cabaret as the fresh chair. After 1973, Palermo FBC remained firm rooted in Serie B. Despite this, Palermo reached two italian Cup finals, both of which they narrowly lost : in 1974 to Bologna on penalty shoot-outs, and in 1979 to Juventus after excess time. Barbera left the club in 1980 and Palermo were relegated to Serie C1 four years late. The 1985–86 season, however, which ended in the summer was the last for Palermo FBC as having just saved themselves from relegation, the club was expelled by the football federation due to fiscal problems. In the summer of 1987, after a class without professional football in Palermo, the club was re-founded bear its current name, and began to play in Serie C2, which it promptly won. In the 1990s, Palermo played between Serie B and Serie C1 with a few highs, such as its 1995–96 Serie B and Coppa Italia campaign, the latter ending in the quarter-finals, and a act of lows such as the 1998 relegation to Serie C2 after frustration in the play-offs to Battipagliese, late revoked by the federation to fill a vacant league slot. [ 19 ] In March 2000, Roma chair Franco Sensi led a holding caller to purchase Palermo and Sergio D’Antoni became the president of the united states of Palermo [ 20 ] and Palermo were promoted to Serie B one year former after a dramatic concluding week of the temper, with Palermo coming back from behind to take first place from league-toppers sicilian rivals Messina. The first comeback season in the Serie B, with Bortolo Mutti as heading coach, was an eventless one, with Palermo ending in a mid-table placement .

The Zamparini era : spinal column to Serie A and european years ( 2002–2013 ) [edit ]

Palermo chair and owner Maurizio Zamparini In the summer of 2002, friulian businessman and Venezia owner Maurizio Zamparini acquired the club from Franco Sensi in a €15 million bid, with the clear purpose to bring Palermo back to Serie A and establish the baseball club as a Serie A even with aims of participations to european competitions. [ 21 ] Palermo failed in its foremost attempt to reach the Serie A in 2002–03 on the concluding week of the season, but late managed to achieve it after a hard but successful 2003–04 campaign which saw Palermo crowned as Serie B champions and promoted to Serie A after 31 years, under head passenger car Francesco Guidolin, who was hired in January 2004 as substitute for dismiss Silvio Baldini. The 2004–05 season, the first in Serie A for the Palermo cabaret since 1973, ended with an excellent sixth home, securing reservation for the 2005–06 UEFA Cup for the foremost time in its history. Luca Toni broke the Palermo Serie A score criminal record by notching up 20 league goals. In the follow season, despite an unimpressive eighth place in the Serie A mesa, Palermo reached the last 16 in the UEFA Cup a well as the Coppa Italia semi-finals. The golf club was however admitted to play UEFA Cup again due to the 2006 Calciopoli scandal, with Palermo players Andrea Barzagli, Cristian Zaccardo, Simone Barone and Fabio Grosso being crowned 2006 World Cup winners. A phone number of impressive signings were made to establish an ambitious team, [ 22 ] and a good get down in the 2006–07 campaign appeared initially to confirm this. An 11-game winless streak, however, forced Palermo to fall down from third to seventh place, ending the temper in fifth place and ensuring another UEFA Cup qualification. The clubhouse successively established as a force in the mid-table function of the Serie A league, besides winning a Campionato Nazionale Primavera national title in 2009. [ 23 ] The stick to season started with newly coach Walter Zenga, whose appointee from sicilian arch-rivals Catania was greeted with surprise and alarm from supporters of both parties ; [ 24 ] Zenga ‘s reign, however, lasted entirely 13 games, as he was dismissed on 23 November 2009 due to poor performances, ironically after a 1–1 home tie to sicilian rivals and Zenga ‘s erstwhile team, Catania, [ 25 ] with erstwhile Lazio knob Delio Rossi being appointed at his locate. [ 26 ] Under the tutelage of Delio Rossi, results dramatically improved, and Palermo established a record of seven straight home wins, including wins against italian giants Milan and Juventus, and emerging angstrom unplayful contenders for a Champions League point, which they ultimately lost to Sampdoria by lone one luff. such season besides launched new emerging stars such as midfielder Javier Pastore and goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu, who went on to become integral separate of their respective international teams .
The 2010–11 season started with Delio Rossi hush in charge of the club, and besides marked Palermo ‘s tax return into continental football in the shape of the UEFA Europa League. Palermo reached their one-third Coppa Italia finals after defeating Milan 4–3 on aggregate on 10 May 2011, losing 3–1 to Internazionale in the final, in what is considered one of the bill moments of Zamparini ‘s menstruation at the golf club .

Zamparini ‘s belated years and Serie B return ( 2011–2018 ) [edit ]

For the 2011–12 temper, Delio Rossi was replaced by early Chievo bos Stefano Pioli, who was, however, sacked before the Serie A kickoff after being eliminated by swiss minnows FC Thun in the Europa League third base preliminary round ; fresh head coach Devis Mangia, with no managerial experience early than at youth team and minor league level ; despite that, Mangia turned Palermo fortunes by leading the Rosanero in fifth put thanks to an impressive string of six back-to-back family wins, thus deserving a long-run share at the club. A chain of hapless results, however, led Palermo to three straight defeats, including elimination from the Coppa Italia and a disappointing loss in the sicilian bowler hat, persuading Zamparini to replace Mangia with the more experienced Bortolo Mutti. [ 27 ] Palermo arrived 16th in that season .
Giuseppe Iachini, formerly a Palermo midfielder in the 1990s, replaced Gattuso as head coach during the 2013–14 season and led the club to a Serie B champions title and broke the highest-Serie-B-point record For the 2012–13 season, Zamparini came with another staff revolution, appointing Giorgio Perinetti as the new director of football and Giuseppe Sannino as the director, both coming from Siena. A accomplished team restructure, a sum five managerial changes and some staff changes ( including a short scrimp with Pietro Lo Monaco as sports director ) did not help, and Palermo ended its season in 18th place, being therefore relegated to Serie B after nine straight seasons in the top flight. For the new Serie B campaign, Zamparini appointed former Milan and Italy international headliner Gennaro Gattuso as the modern director, [ 28 ] despite him having fiddling anterior managerial know ; he was sacked in September 2013, the 28th sacked director in 11 years. Fortune was reversed rather quickly, however, as Palermo regained promotion back to Serie A for the 2014–15 season under the guidance of new head coach Giuseppe Iachini, with the Rosanero completing a record-breaking Serie B season with 86 points, one more than previous record holders Juventus, Chievo and Sassuolo ( all of them in the 22-team Serie B format ). With Iachini confirmed in appoint, Palermo played a rather successful 2014–15 Serie A season, narrowly missing on a UEFA Europa League spot besides thanks to the all-Argentine strike coerce of Paulo Dybala and Franco Vázquez. In 2015–16 season, Palermo started their temper without Dybala after the child moved to Juventus ; the Rosanero therefore relied on senior striker Alberto Gilardino to play as a partner of Vázquez. Another long list of managerial changes during the season ( seven in total, with Davide Ballardini as the final one ) marked a identical troublesome temper, during which Palermo escaped delegating on the last day of the league with the necessity win over Hellas Verona 3–2, securing 16th place. [ 29 ] For the 2016–17 season, Zamparini re-appointed Rino Foschi as director of football ; he however resigned after fair a calendar month in charge and was replaced by former Trapani director Daniele Faggiano. Most elder players such as Gilardino, Sorrentino, Vázquez and Maresca were sold and largely replaced with Alessandro Diamanti plus a number of young and quasi-unknown extraneous players. Ballardini, who was originally confirmed as head bus, left his placement after a guide at Inter Milan at the second matchday of the season and was replaced with Serie A newcomer Roberto De Zerbi [ 30 ] who ended his stay after seven league losses in a rowing, with former club captain Eugenio Corini taking over. [ 31 ] More managerial and staff changes followed with little luck and, on 27 February 2017, Zamparini stepped down as chair of Palermo after 15 years in bang, announcing he had agreed in rationale to sell his controlling bet on to an unspecified anglo-american fund, [ 32 ] led by Italian-American Paul Baccaglini who was named new club president on 6 March. [ 33 ] Palermo ended the season in 19th place, being relegated to Serie B. The takeover, in the first place scheduled to be finalized by 30 April 2017 and then delayed by 30 June, finally collapsed after Zamparini, who in the meanwhile had appointed Bruno Tedino as raw mind passenger car for the 2017–18 Serie B campaign, rejected the concluding offer he received from Baccaglini. [ 34 ] On 4 July 2017, Baccaglini resigned as Palermo president, falling back into the hands of Zamparini, after the necessity funds were not in place. [ 35 ] Palermo ‘s campaign in the 2017–18 Serie B aimed for an immediate return to the top flight, with Bruno Tedino as capitulum coach and Fabio Lupo as director of football. initially, the team ‘s form was good and the Rosanero ended the inaugural half of the season in first place ; however, a string a veto results led to the appointment of new coach Roberto Stellone, who was ultimately unable to win promotion, ending the regular season in fourth topographic point and finally losing the playoff finals to Frosinone .

New ownerships, fiscal issues and Serie B ejection ( 2018–2019 ) [edit ]

For the 2018–19 Serie B temper, Palermo ( with Rino Foschi bet on for a third base meter as sporting director ) found themselves having to sell a number of players for fiscal reasons. On 22 November 2018, the baseball club formally confirmed a takeover agreement between Zamparini and an undisclosed investor, [ 36 ] [ 37 ] belated confirmed to be the London based Sport Capital Group Investments Ltd., with English businessman Clive Richardson, heading of the fresh group, being named as newly club chair. [ 38 ] Following a January 2019 transfer window with no signings at all and good tensions within the circuit board, Clive Richardson ( president ) and John Treacy ( conductor ) both resigned from the club with immediate effect on 4 February 2019, citing that the full nature of the dangerous fiscal site at the clubhouse had not been in full disclosed to them at the clock time of their leverage. [ 39 ] Days late, the club was acquired for a nominal fee by Daniela De Angeli ( former managing director from the Zamparini days ) and Rino Foschi ( appointed as chair ), [ 40 ] [ 41 ] only for them to sell it again to hotel and tourism company Arkus Network S.r.l. late in May. [ 42 ] [ 43 ] [ 44 ] [ 45 ] The new owner, Sporting Network S.r.l., subscribed a €5 million capital increase to the club. [ 45 ] At the end of the 2018–19 Serie B, Palermo finished in third invest with 63 points but was demoted by FIGC to last place in Serie B on 13 May due to serious fiscal irregularities, which meant relegation to Serie C for the watch season. [ 46 ] [ 47 ] The clubhouse appealed to FIGC against this opinion and were successful in having the penalty revised ; rather than automatic demotion, the baseball club was merely dock 20 points alternatively, which consequently placed them in a comfortable mid-table eleventh position. [ 48 ] however, on 24 June 2019, Palermo incorrectly submitted to FIGC their criterion application for the pursue 2019–20 Serie B season, by failing to provide evidence of a valid indemnity policy for the fresh temper. [ 49 ] A club trade with no policy is an extremely serious rupture of italian company law, and as such FIGC had no alternative but to formally exclude the club not merely from Serie B, but indeed all professional leagues, on 12 July 2019. [ 2 ]

A fresh start ( 2019–present ) [edit ]

On 23 July 2019, in conformity of Article 52 of N.O.I.F., Mayor of Palermo Leoluca Orlando confirmed six declarations of interests had been presented for a newfangled phoenix cabaret to be admitted in Serie D, the highest horizontal surface of non-professional football in Italy, for the 2019–20 season. [ 50 ] The future day, Orlando announced his choice of a bid by a company named “ Hera Hora srl ”, jointly owned by entrepreneurs Dario Mirri ( a Palermo native, and Renzo Barbera ‘s nephew ) and a Sicilian-American, Tony DiPiazza. [ 51 ] Palermo completed their Serie D political campaign in beginning put, and was awarded promotion to Serie C by the italian Football Federation after all the amateur leagues were stopped in March 2020 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. [ 52 ] On 16 July 2020, the club changed its mention to Palermo Football Club. [ 53 ]

[ 54 ] The color choice of pink and black was suggested by Count Giuseppe Airoldi, a big establish member of the club. In a personal letter Airoldi wrote on 2 February 1905 to English golf club council member Joseph Whitaker, he defined pink and black poetically as “ colours of the sad and the sweet ”, a choice he amusingly asserted to be suited for a team characterised by “ results as up and down as a swiss clock ”, noting besides the fact that crimson and blue were a very normally use option of tinge around Italy at the time. [ 4 ] The club had to wait for their new jerseys for three months, because no pink cotton flannel material was available in Palermo and the appointed tailor caller could only find desirable material from England and had to import it from there. [ 54 ] The bright newfangled shirts were beginning worn in a friendly match against Sir Thomas Lipton ‘s crowd team ; the match ended in a 2–1 win for Palermo. [ 54 ] From 1936 to 1940, the team were forced to play in red and yellow jerseys due to an imposition by the fascist government of Benito Mussolini ( red and yellow being the official tinge of the municipality of Palermo. ) When the club was refounded in 1941 following a fusion with Juventina Palermo, they started dressing in light blue shirts on the peddle, but switched back to the very popular pink and black merely one year later.
