History

Founded in 1940, Cesena reached Serie B in the 1968 and were promoted to Serie A for the first time in 1973. With players such as Pierluigi Cera and Gianluigi Savoldi, the club held its own and finished a respectable 11th place in their debut season, repeating that finish the following year. In 1975-76, Cesena surprised everybody by finishing 6th and qualifying for the UEFA Cup. The glory was short-lived and they would be relegated the next year. UEFA Cup logo The UEFA Cup is a football competition for European club teams. ...


A second promotion to Serie A followed in 1981 and finished a respectable 10th before being relegated once more in 1983, staying in Serie B for four years. After winning a play-off, they were back in Serie A for 1987-88 and enjoyed a four-year stay, being obdurate enough to just avoid relegation in this time.


After relegation in 1991, Cesena had another chance to return to Serie A in 1994. With players such as Alessandro Teodorani, Emiliano Salvetti, Luigi Piangarelli, Aldo Dolcetti and Dario Hubner, this was a team of considerable ability. However, they finished level on points with Padova, and lost a promotion play-off which would be a bitter blow for the club, who would suffer relegation to Serie C1 in 1997. Whilst promotion followed, a relegation play-off against Pistoiese in 2000 would see them condemned to a four-year stay in the third division.


In the 2005/06 Serie B league, Cesena surprisingly emerged as contenders for promotion to Serie A, ending in sixth place and being therefore qualified for the promotion playoffs.
