History of Savona Football Club
Savona Foot-Ball Club started in 1907. It was founded by Cesare Lanza and Nicolò Pessano. The team played its first championship in 1910.
Early Years and League Play
In the 1920s, Savona played two seasons in the top Italian Football Championship. The club also spent many seasons in Serie B, which is Italy's second-highest football league. Their last season in Serie B was in 1966–67.
After their time in Serie B, the team played in Serie C. Later, they were moved down to Serie D. Savona stayed in Serie D for about 20 years. They had two short periods in Serie C2 between 2002 and 2004. During this time, Savona won their only major trophy. They won the Coppa Italia Dilettanti in 1991.
Recent Challenges and Successes
In the 2009–10 season, Savona was promoted from Serie D to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione. However, the club faced serious money problems. In December 2011, a court declared the club was bankrupt.
In March 2012, Aldo Dellepiane took over the club. He bought the company for just one euro. He also agreed to take on some of the club's debts. This action saved the team from being shut down. In their first season under the new owner, Savona earned another promotion. They moved up to Lega Pro Prima Divisione.
During the 2013–14 season, Savona surprised many people. They played very well and finished sixth in the league. This allowed them to enter the promotion playoffs for Serie B. They beat Vicenza in the playoffs. However, they were defeated by Pro Vercelli in the semi-finals. Pro Vercelli went on to win the playoffs. In the 2014–15 season, Savona played in Lega Pro. They worked hard to avoid being moved down to Serie D.
