Ancient Palermo FBC logo Anglo-Palermitan Athletic & Football Club line-up, 1900 historical firstline-up, 1900 There is some debate and doubt about the demand date the club was founded. Some authorities think it may have been vitamin a early as 1898 due to the universe of papers addressed to Joseph Whitaker, English consul in Palermo and originally believed to be first clubhouse president of the united states, about a Palermo football team founded in the month of April of that year. [ 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 common and formally stated foundation date is 1 November 1900, [ 6 ] as the Anglo Palermitan Athletic and Football Club. The clubhouse is thought to have been founded by Ignazio Majo Pagano, a unseasoned Palermitan colleague of Whitaker who had discovered football while at college in London in the UK, where the advanced game of football originated. The initial staff comprised three Englishmen and nine natives of Palermo, [ 7 ] with Whitaker as honorary president, Edward De Garston as inaugural president and with red and blue as the master team colors. The inaugural recorded football match, played by the team on 30 December 1900, ended in a 5–0 get the better of to an unidentified amateur English team. The first official match, played on 18 April 1901 against Messina Football Club, ended in a 3–2 win to the Palermitan side. [ 8 ] In 1907, the club changed its name to Palermo Foot-Ball Club, and the team color were changed to the current tap and black. [ 9 ] From 1908 until the final event in 1914, Palermo was featured in the Lipton Challenge Cup, organised by scottish 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 golf club was refounded in 1919 as Unione Sportiva Palermo, [ 11 ] by a committee of unseasoned 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 cabaret was dissolved in 1927 due to fiscal problems, but was reformed one year by and by following a amalgamation with Vigor Palermo under the diagnose 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 last reached Serie A in 1932. From its debut season in Italy ‘s top division, Palermo relocated to a new home, the Stadio Littorio ( Lictorian stadium ) in the Favorita vicinity, nowadays known as Stadio Renzo Barbera. The cabaret 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 strip to yellow and red, after the official tinge of the local anesthetic 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 garment of Unione Sportiva Palermo-Juventina, which joined Serie C in 1941 and Serie B in 1942. [ 16 ]
The clubhouse could not finish the 1942–43 season due to the arrival of WWII. At the same clock the pink-and-black colors were chosen because Sicily became a “ war zone ”. After the conflict, the golf club changed its name 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 modern Palermo squad featured players such as czech 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, angstrom well as the coach ‘s job and the police squad, proved successful and the club returned to Serie A in 1956. Palermo became a “ yo-yo club “, bouncing up and polish between the top two italian leagues. respective stars played for Palermo during this 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 put 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 club as the new 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 clubhouse in 1980 and Palermo were relegated to Serie C1 four years belated. The 1985–86 season, however, which ended in the summer was the last for Palermo FBC as having fair saved themselves from relegation, the golf club was expelled by the football confederation due to fiscal problems. In the summer of 1987, after a year without professional football in Palermo, the baseball club was re-founded charge its stream 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 crusade, the latter ending in the quarter-finals, and a number of lows such as the 1998 relegation to Serie C2 after kill in the play-offs to Battipagliese, later revoked by the federation to fill a vacant league slot. [ 19 ] In March 2000, Roma president Franco Sensi led a holding company to purchase Palermo and Sergio D’Antoni became the president of Palermo [ 20 ] and Palermo were promoted to Serie B one year later after a dramatic final examination week of the temper, with Palermo coming rear from behind to take inaugural space from league-toppers sicilian rivals Messina. The first comeback season in the Serie B, with Bortolo Mutti as head bus, was an eventless one, with Palermo ending in a mid-table placement .

The Zamparini era : back 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 absolved purpose to bring Palermo back to Serie A and establish the club as a Serie A regular with aims of participations to european competitions. [ 21 ] Palermo failed in its first attempt to reach the Serie A in 2002–03 on the final examination week of the season, but belated 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 replacement for dismiss Silvio Baldini. The 2004–05 season, the first in Serie A for the Palermo cabaret since 1973, ended with an excellent sixth set, securing qualification for the 2005–06 UEFA Cup for the first time in its history. Luca Toni broke the Palermo Serie A score record by notching up 20 league goals. In the following season, despite an unimpressive eighth place in the Serie A table, Palermo reached the survive 16 in the UEFA Cup ampere well as the Coppa Italia semi-finals. The cabaret 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 issue of impressive signings were made to establish an ambitious team, [ 22 ] and a good begin in the 2006–07 campaign appeared initially to confirm this. An 11-game winless streak, however, forced Palermo to fall down from third base to seventh place, ending the season in fifth place and ensuring another UEFA Cup reservation. The club successively established as a force out in the mid-table depart of the Serie A league, besides winning a Campionato Nazionale Primavera national style in 2009. [ 23 ] The keep up season started with new director Walter Zenga, whose appointment from sicilian arch-rivals Catania was greeted with storm and dismay from supporters of both parties ; [ 24 ] Zenga ‘s reign, however, lasted only 13 games, as he was dismissed on 23 November 2009 due to poor performances, ironically after a 1–1 dwelling tie to sicilian rivals and Zenga ‘s former team, Catania, [ 25 ] with early Lazio party boss Delio Rossi being appointed at his seat. [ 26 ] Under the care 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 a dangerous contenders for a Champions League spot, which they ultimately lost to Sampdoria by alone one point. 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 external teams .
The 2010–11 season started with Delio Rossi still in charge of the cabaret, and besides marked Palermo ‘s tax return into continental football in the phase of the UEFA Europa League. Palermo reached their third Coppa Italia finals after defeating Milan 4–3 on sum on 10 May 2011, losing 3–1 to Internazionale in the final, in what is considered one of the vertex moments of Zamparini ‘s period at the club .

Zamparini ‘s subsequently years and Serie B reelect ( 2011–2018 ) [edit ]

For the 2011–12 season, Delio Rossi was replaced by former Chievo foreman 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 ; new drumhead bus Devis Mangia, with no managerial know other than at youth team and minor league level ; despite that, Mangia turned Palermo fortunes by leading the Rosanero in fifth place thanks to an impressive string of six consecutive home wins, thus deserving a long-run deal at the club. A chain of poor results, however, led Palermo to three straight defeats, including elimination from the Coppa Italia and a disappoint personnel casualty 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 coach, both coming from Siena. A complete squad restructure, a sum five managerial changes and some staff changes ( including a short stint with Pietro Lo Monaco as sports director ) did not help, and Palermo ended its temper in 18th place, being thus relegated to Serie B after nine consecutive seasons in the peak fledge. For the new Serie B campaign, Zamparini appointed erstwhile Milan and Italy external star Gennaro Gattuso as the newly coach, [ 28 ] despite him having fiddling anterior managerial have ; he was sacked in September 2013, the 28th sacked coach in 11 years. Fortune was reversed rather quickly, however, as Palermo regained forwarding 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 former record holders Juventus, Chievo and Sassuolo ( all of them in the 22-team Serie B format ). With Iachini confirmed in charge, Palermo played a rather successful 2014–15 Serie A season, narrowly missing on a UEFA Europa League descry besides thanks to the all-Argentine fall upon force of Paulo Dybala and Franco Vázquez. In 2015–16 temper, Palermo started their season without Dybala after the child moved to Juventus ; the Rosanero therefore relied on aged striker Alberto Gilardino to play as a spouse of Vázquez. Another long number of managerial changes during the temper ( seven in total, with Davide Ballardini as the final one ) marked a very troublesome temper, during which Palermo escaped relegation on the last day of the league with the necessity gain over Hellas Verona 3–2, securing 16th identify. [ 29 ] For the 2016–17 temper, Zamparini re-appointed Rino Foschi as film director of football ; he however resigned after precisely a month in charge and was replaced by erstwhile Trapani conductor Daniele Faggiano. Most elder players such as Gilardino, Sorrentino, Vázquez and Maresca were sold and largely replaced with Alessandro Diamanti plus a total of young and quasi-unknown foreign players. Ballardini, who was originally confirmed as lead passenger car, left his side after a draw at Inter Milan at the irregular 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 row, with former golf 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 president of Palermo after 15 years in charge, 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 golf club president on 6 March. [ 33 ] Palermo ended the season in 19th stead, being relegated to Serie B. The coup d’etat, originally scheduled to be finalized by 30 April 2017 and then delayed by 30 June, finally collapsed after Zamparini, who in the interim had appointed Bruno Tedino as new headway coach for the 2017–18 Serie B campaign, rejected the final examination offer he received from Baccaglini. [ 34 ] On 4 July 2017, Baccaglini resigned as Palermo chair, falling back into the hands of Zamparini, after the necessary funds were not in position. [ 35 ] Palermo ‘s political campaign in the 2017–18 Serie B aimed for an immediate return to the crown flight, with Bruno Tedino as head coach and Fabio Lupo as director of football. initially, the team ‘s mannequin was dependable and the Rosanero ended the first half of the season in first base stead ; however, a string a negative results led to the appointment of new coach Roberto Stellone, who was ultimately unable to win promotion, ending the even temper in fourth place 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 season, Palermo ( with Rino Foschi back for a third gear prison term as sporting director ) found themselves having to sell a numeral of players for fiscal reasons. On 22 November 2018, the club formally confirmed a coup d’etat agreement between Zamparini and an undisclosed investor, [ 36 ] [ 37 ] late confirmed to be the London based Sport Capital Group Investments Ltd., with English businessman Clive Richardson, head of the new group, being named as new club chair. [ 38 ] Following a January 2019 transmit windowpane with no signings at all and unplayful tensions within the dining table, Clive Richardson ( president ) and John Treacy ( director ) both resigned from the clubhouse with immediate consequence on 4 February 2019, citing that the full nature of the good fiscal situation at the club had not been fully disclosed to them at the time of their purchase. [ 39 ] Days late, the baseball club was acquired for a nominative fee by Daniela De Angeli ( former managing director from the Zamparini days ) and Rino Foschi ( appointed as president ), [ 40 ] [ 41 ] only for them to sell it again to hotel and tourism company Arkus Network S.r.l. by and by 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 plaza with 63 points but was demoted by FIGC to last seat in Serie B on 13 May due to dangerous fiscal irregularities, which meant relegation to Serie C for the following season. [ 46 ] [ 47 ] The club appealed to FIGC against this predominate and were successful in having the penalty revised ; preferably than automatic demotion, the clubhouse was merely dock 20 points rather, which consequently placed them in a comfortable mid-table eleventh position. [ 48 ] however, on 24 June 2019, Palermo incorrectly submitted to FIGC their standard application for the follow 2019–20 Serie B season, by failing to provide tell of a valid indemnity policy for the fresh season. [ 49 ] A baseball club trade with no policy is an extremely serious transgress of italian company law, and as such FIGC had no alternate but to formally exclude the club not only 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 newly phoenix baseball club to be admitted in Serie D, the highest level of non-professional football in Italy, for the 2019–20 season. [ 50 ] The following 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 campaign in first place, and was awarded promotion to Serie C by the italian Football Federation after all the amateurish leagues were stopped in March 2020 due to the ball-shaped COVID-19 pandemic. [ 52 ] On 16 July 2020, the cabaret changed its name to Palermo Football Club. [ 53 ]

Palermo ‘s original red-blue kit, worn from 1900 until 1907. The new official badge as of 2019 is a white eagle ‘s head and three pink/black feathers within a bootleg stylize letter ‘P ‘.

[ 4 ] The golf club had to wait for their newly jerseys for three months, because no pink cotton flannel substantial was available in Palermo and the appointed tailoring caller could lone find suitable material from England and had to import it from there. [ 54 ] The vivid raw shirts were first worn in a friendly match against Sir Thomas Lipton ‘s crew team ; the match ended in a 2–1 acquire 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 ( crimson and chicken being the official color of the municipality of Palermo. ) When the club was refounded in 1941 following a amalgamation with Juventina Palermo, they started dressing in light blue shirts on the lurch, but switched back to the very popular pink and black only one year former.
