Piacenza Calcio is a football club based in Piacenza, Italy. The club was formed in 1919 and currently plays in Italian Serie B, where they have been since 2003.
The club won the Anglo-Italian Cup in 1986. The highest they have ever finished in their home league is 12th in Serie A, which they have achieved twice in 1997/1998 and 2001/2002. They spent much of their history in the lower divisions, suffering relegation in four of their first six Serie B seasons. They first reaching Serie A in the early nineties, and have been relegated from the division three times.
Piacenza has been known in the past for its strong reluctance to use foreign players, using a team made up exclusively of Italians for most of its Serie A seasons; at present however there are some foreign players, generally European.
Promotion in 1991 saw a rise in the side's fortunes under coach Gigi Cagni with the club promoted to Serie A for the first time in 1993.
The 1993 side contained players such as midfielder Daniele Moretti, winger Francesco TurriniGiampietro Piovani. They spent 1993-94 holding their own in mid-table and were on the fringes of a place in the UEFA Cup, but were unfortunate to be relegated on the final day. The club wisely chose to retain Cagni and most of his squad, and they would achieve promotion as Serie B champions in 1995. and forward
The following five years saw the club win many supporters with its all-Italian lineup and successful battles against relegation. In 1997 the club acquired legendary hard man defender Pietro Vierchowod. Despite his advancing years, Vierchowod proved an outstanding purchase, more than holding his own in defence and even scoring decisive goals in the relegation battle.
Relegation in 2000 was followed by an instant return to Serie A for two years with outstanding form shown by players like midfielder Enzo Maresca. The club has since remained in Serie B without threatening to mount a promotion challenge. On the final day of the 2006-07 Serie B season, the team needed a victory to force a Serie B promotion playoff, but were held to a draw, and thus the top 3 gained automatic promotion.
No non European players are allowed to be brought to the club each season!
Present:
Piacenza today announce the employment of a young semi professional ex english footballer, Neil Hart who played for Sheffield Utd and Celtic in his fairly short footballing career.
He has had previous managerial experience being on the coaching staff at Newcastle United from 2005-2006 while taking up an assistant managers position with the Canary's at Carrow Road from 2007-2009.
in a press conference a couple of days after his appointment at Piace he took the time to meet with the media for the 1st time:
"Mr Hart, what is your vision for Piace going forward?"
"Good day to everyone, thank you for taking the time to attend the conference here with me today, my apologies for the lateness of calling it, i really wanted to get into this club and get going from the ground up, i have spent alot of time meeting with all the staff and players here on a personal note"
"We at Piace have a 2 year game plan, i want to gain Promotion to the Serie A come end of the season as well as at the end of year two, finishing somewhere mid table, that is what myself and Fabrizio Garilli discussed prior to my contract"
"I would like to thank everyone at the club for giving me this oppurtunity to take Piacenza to another level, a more successful era, the most successful era in our history"
"Please excuse me as i need to attend to my players and staff as we have alot of work to do here and i would like to get going as soon as possible..." thank you!
