History

Torino FC was founded in 1906, by merging Football Club Torinese and a dissatisfy group of Juventus dissidents.

In the 1920, many italian football clubs was enforced by South Americans of italian ancestry who had travelled over the ocean to their old area. The first of these alleged oriundo was Julio Libonatti who was transferred to Torino. together with Adolfo Baloncieri and Gino Rossetti he would form the Trio delle Meraviglie ( “ The Wonder Trio ” ) that helped the club to win its first Scudetto in 1927.

Although, the trophy was taken off ascribable to an alleged fraud during the Turin bowler hat. That championship would remain unassigned, but it did not stop turin from continuing with excellent performances and winning the Scudetto again the take after year. The 30s were less kind to the club, but they still managed to win the first Coppa Italia tournament ever held, in 1936.

“Il Grande Torino”

Fernando Novo ‘s appointment as president in 1940 signaled the beginning of the most successful era in Torino ‘s history. Thanks to Novo ‘s fiscal backing and astute administrator skills, the baseball club managed to form a team which dominated the italian football during the 40s and would forever be known as “ Il Grande Torino. ” This team, led by captain Valentino Mazzola, won five consecutive Scudettos and a single Coppa Italia trophy between 1942 and 1949. During this period, Torino FC supplied the italian national team with ten players of its starting eleven.

Their dominance was cut short in the most catastrophic way possible, with a plane crash that took the lives of the integral team. The tragedy was a catalyst for the cabaret ‘s decelerate death, and for the foremost meter in its history, Torino would find itself in the second division in 1960 .

Return to Serie A

Torino would, however, return to Serie A and would remain successful in Coppa Italia. During the 1960s the team would perform big in Coppa Italia, winning the tournament once and reach the final in tow extra season.

The arrival of Luigi Meroni in 1964 would give extra breath of new life for the cabaret, which managed to place 3rd in Serie A the identical same class. alone three years late, however, calamity mint again and Meroni was killed in a car accident.

silent, the club stayed on its feet. After winning two Coppa Italia titles in 1968 and 1971, Torino followed them up with its seventh Scudetto in 1976.

In later decades, Torino has for the most time existed in the tail of the early club in town, Juventus, and they would have to wait another 17 years for their following and final trophy, the 1993 Coppa Italia. Financial troubles and far relegation led to Torino declaring bankruptcy in 2005. It was resurrected only a year belated, however, and the clubhouse soon managed to return to the Serie A.
