'''Calcio Foggia 1920''', commonly referred to as '''Foggia''', is an [[Football in Italy|Italian football]] club based in [[Foggia]], [[Apulia]]. It currently plays in [[Serie C]], having last been in the top level [[Serie A]] in 1995.
 
It plays in Serie C, the third division of the Italian championship. The team experienced the best periods in its history{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} in the sixties 1960s and seventies of the twentieth century1970s, in Serie A, and above all{{tone inline|date=January 2024}}{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} in the first half of the nineties1990s, playing four seasons in the top flight, coming close to qualifying for the UEFA Cup and gaining media exposure in European level for expressing an unprecedented, fast and attacking football.{{tone inline|date=January 2024}}
 
On 23 April 2017, the club regained promotion to [[Serie B]] after a 19-year absence, but folded again only two years later, to restart from [[Serie D]] in 2019 as Calcio Foggia.

====Reaching Serie A====
History was made{{tone inline|date=January 2024}}{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} in the 1963–64 season, when Rosa Rosa and Oronzo Pugliese's Foggia reached [[Serie A]] for the first time.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} From [[Serie A 1964-65|1964–65]], Foggia managed to{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} compete in three consecutive seasons in the top flight.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} On 31 January 1965, still under the guidance of coach Pugliese, Foggia recorded a historic{{tone inline|date=January 2024}}{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} 3–2 victory against [[FCF.C. Internazionale Milano|Inter]], who were at the time led by manager [[Helenio Herrera]].{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} The season was crowned{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} by the national call-ups of Micelli and Nocera who played for [[Italy national football team|Italy]] against [[Wales national football team|Wales]].{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} Italy won 4–1 and Nocera managed to{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} get on the scoresheet.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} At the end of the season, Pugliese left to take charge of [[ASA.S. Roma|Roma]].{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
Pugliese was replaced by [[Egizio Rubino]], and Foggia, although with more difficulty compared to the previous season,{{clarify|date=January 2024|reason=what is this difficulty?}} managed to{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} survive the drop again.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} The following year, however, Foggia was relegated.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} It was a forgettable championship,{{tone inline|date=January 2024}}{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} after 10 matches Foggia had collected only three points and scored just 24 goals.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} Rubino was sacked and replaced by Bonazzini.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} The team improved under Bonazzini but failed to{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} avoid relegation.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} At the end of the season, president Rosa Rosa also left the club, following their relegation.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
[[File:1973–74 Unione Sportiva Foggia.jpg|thumb|1973–74 Foggia]]
 
Relegated at the end of the [[Serie A 1966-67|1966–67]] season, Foggia returned to the top flight in [[Serie A 1970-71|1970–71]], with Tommaso Maestrelli on the bench. Maestrelli would later win the [[Serie A 1973-74|1973–74 scudetto]] with [[SSS.S. Lazio|Lazio]]. Luigi Del Neri was, at the time, a Foggia player. The club was relegated again and returned to Serie A in 1973–74, before another relegation which came after a 6-point deduction for alleged corruption relating to the referee of a home match against [[ACA.C. Milan|Milan]].{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} The coach that season was Lauro Toneatto. Foggia played two more seasons in Serie A in [[Serie A 1976-77|1976–77]] and in [[Serie A 1977-78|1977–78]], when they were once more relegated to [[Serie B]].
 
====Glory years{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} and ''Zemanlandia''====
Following their relegation back to Serie B, Foggia were then dealt with a further blow{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} with relegation to [[Serie C]]. They battled their way{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} in [[Serie C1]] throughout much of the 1980s. This was a particularly tough time{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} for Foggia as their regional rivals, [[ASA.S. Bari|Bari]], [[USU.S. Lecce|Lecce]], [[S.S. Barletta Calcio|Barletta]] and [[Taranto Sport|Taranto]] were all playing at higher levels.
 
In 1989, with the appointment of [[Czechs|Czech]] coach [[Zdeněk Zeman]], the club began to enter the greatest period in its history.{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} The aggressive and entertaining{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} football of the Bohemian coach was based on a 4–3–3 formation. Pressure, offside tactics and frenetic movement of both players and the ball made up the trademark style of Zeman's Foggia. The club first returned to [[Serie B]], and then the following season in [[Serie B 1990-91|1990–91]], they won the Serie B by a large margin and returned to [[Serie A]].
 
After returning to [[Serie A]] in the [[Serie A 1991-92|1991–92]] season, ''Foggia dei Miracoli'', as they were known, proved to be competitive with any opponent and was appreciated by the press because of the attractive football they played.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} The term ''Zemanlandia'' was then coined to indicate the style created by Zeman, and became strictly associated to the Foggia team of the 1990s. The Foggia team also featured star players, especially attacking trio of [[Giuseppe Signori]], [[Francesco Baiano]] and [[Roberto Rambaudi]], as well as Russian star [[Igor Shalimov]]. That season, Foggia achieved the amazing{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} feat of scoring 58 goals while also conceding 58. Foggia soon lost many of these quality{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} players, including their three key forwards, and had to replace them with young talent. The club completed three Serie A campaigns finishing mid-table. In [[Serie A 1993-94]], Foggia's football continued but the depleted squad was no longer as competitive and the club was relegated back to [[Serie B]] in 1995.
 
Zeman left to join [[SSS.S. Lazio|Lazio]] at the end of that season, marking the end of ''Zemanlandia'' whilst the club was beset with financial problems. The Foggia glory days{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} had come to an end.
 
====Decline, Serie C and Zeman's return====
Following the drop, Foggia spent two seasons in [[Serie B]] achieving mid-table finishes, before another relegation followed at the end of the [[Serie B 1997-98|1997–98]] season. They did not fare any better down in [[Serie C1]], with another successive relegation to [[Serie C2]].
 
Playing football in Italy's fourth tier was far less glamorous{{tone inline|date=January 2024}}{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} than the Zemanlandia days but the club set itself on the long road back{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} in 2002–03, when led by coach [[Pasquale Marino]] and key players [[Roberto De Zerbi]] and [[Michele Pazienza]], they were promoted back to [[Serie C1]].
 
After the 2003–04 season, in which they finished mid-table but with good signs{{clarify|date=January 2024|reason=what 'good signs'?}} for the following year, Foggia were hit with financial problems and lost the coach Marino and all the best players.
 
===Second U.S. Foggia===
<!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:US Foggia logo.png|150px|left|thumb|Former U.S. Foggia logo]] -->
The news sent the fans into despair{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} but Giuseppe Coccimiglio took over the reins{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} of the club and gave confidence{{clarify|date=January 2024|reason=how did he give 'confidence'?}} to the new club which assumed the team's historic name, '''Unione Sportiva Foggia''', and was able to keep their place in the league, thanks to Comma 3 of the [[Article 52 of N.O.I.F.]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.figc.it/Assets/contentresources_2/ContenutoGenerico/34.$plit/C_2_ContenutoGenerico_4768_lstAllegati_Allegato0_upfAllegato.pdf|title=C.U. N°199/A (2003–04)|date=30 June 2004|access-date=11 July 2015|first=Franco|last=Carraro|work=Presidente Federale|publisher=FIGC|language=it}}</ref>
 
After two more seasons finishing in mid-table, during which there were five coaching changes, Coccimiglio was criticised for not paying players' wages, a situation which created instability.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}} After complex negotiations, the company passed into the hands of a team of local entrepreneurs led by Tullio Capobianco.
 
The club spent the following years mid-table in C1, narrowly losing a promotion playoff in [[Serie C1 2006-07|2006–07]] against [[USU.S. Avellino 1912|Avellino]] which would have seen them return to Serie B. The following season, [[Serie C1 2007-08|2007–08]], they again reached the playoffs, this time losing to [[USU.S. Cremonese|Cremonese]].
 
In June 2010, [[Pasquale Casillo]], chairman and owner during the glory years{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} of the 1990s, re-acquired the club, and reformed the old trio of Foggia heads by appointing back Zdeněk Zeman as manager and [[Giuseppe Pavone]] as director of football. However, despite impressive{{tone inline|date=January 2024}}{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} performances from several young and promising players who went on to play at the highest level like [[Lorenzo Insigne]] and [[Marco Sau]], Foggia missed out on playoff qualification.

In the summer 2012 a new company named '''A.C.D. Foggia Calcio'''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.foggiacalciomania.com/rubriche/news.asp?id=46665 |title=Foggia Calcio Mania |website=www.foggiacalciomania.com |access-date=22 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140514200532/http://www.foggiacalciomania.com/rubriche/news.asp?id=46665 |archive-date=14 May 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> was founded to continue the football history of the city of Foggia. The club restarted from [[Serie D]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.figc.it/it/204/33186/2012/08/News.shtml|title=Pubblicati i gironi di Serie D: ammesse Spal, Foggia e Taranto e ripescato il Cynthia|date=9 August 2012|access-date=24 May 2017|publisher=FIGC|language=it}}</ref> thanks to [[Article 52 of N.O.I.F.]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://foggiacalciomania.com/rubriche/news.asp?id=46710 |title=Foggia Calcio Mania |website=foggiacalciomania.com |access-date=22 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130907035421/http://foggiacalciomania.com/rubriche/news.asp?id=46710 |archive-date=7 September 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> and was immediately promoted to [[Lega Pro Seconda Divisione]] through a repechage, dropping the ''A.C.D.'' part of their denomination in the process.
 
Over the next five5 seasons, the club will{{clarify|date=January 2024|reason=is this a prediction of the future?}} make the climb from Serie D (fifth level) to Serie B (second level); all this thanks to{{tone inline|date=January 2024}} the coaches Pasquale Padalino, [[Roberto De Zerbi]] (who also won a Serie C Italian cup) and Giovanni Stroppa.

==Supporters==
Football has always been a popular sport to follow in the city of [[Foggia]],{{according to whom|date=January 2024}} especially since the Zeman years. I Satanelli can also count on support from across the [[Province of Foggia]].{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}
 
The only twinning Foggia fans have is with the supporters of [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]] and more specifically with the ''Sconvolts 1987'' ultras. However, each group has personal friendships, notable are those with Monza, Latina and Budapest [[Budapest Honvéd FC|Honvéd]].
 
93 year-old Foggia fan Nonno Ciccio has been attending matches consistently since 1937, with the exception of wartime years. Nonno is now cited as the oldest ultra in Italy and, as of March 2016, still regularly attendedattends Foggia matches, home and away.<ref>{{cite news|work=[[The Guardian]]|date= March 10, 2016|title= Meet 90-year-old Foggia fan, Nonno Ciccio, the oldest ultra in Italy|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/copa90/2016/mar/10/foggia-fan-nonno-ciccio-ultra-italy-sport|access-date= 12 March 2016}}</ref>
