History

The club was founded in 1913 as Verdi FC in honour of the birthplace of famous opera composer Giuseppe Verdi, but the name was changed to Parma FC at the end of the same year. The club was undistinguished, moving between Serie B and Serie C before falling into the semi-professional leagues in the late 1960s. 1913 (MCMXIII) is a common year starting on Wednesday. ... Giuseppe Verdi, by Giovanni Boldini, 1886 (National Gallery of Modern Art, Rome) Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (October 10, 1813 – January 27, 1901) is to date the most influential composer of the 19th centurys Italian School of Opera. ... Serie B is the name of the second highest football league in Italy. ... Serie C is the name of the third and fourth highest football leagues in Italy. ...

Following a flurry of owners and name changes, the club became Parma AC in 1970 through the merger of AC Parmense and the old Parma AC. The club crept back into professional football but was uninspired until the 1980s. In 1985, Arrigo Sacchi became the club's manager and led them to the Serie C1 championship, he left it in mid-table of Serie B and the club drifted before the arrival of Nevio Scala. 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday (the link is to a full 1970 calendar). ... This article is about the year. ... Arrigo Sacchi (born 1 April 1946 at Fusignano) is a former manager of the Italy national football team (1991 - 1996), and twice manager of A.C. Milan (1987 - 1990, 1996 - 1997). ... Nevio Scala (* November 22, 1947 in Italy) is an Italian soccer coach. ...

Scala brought the club into the top flight in 1990 and attracted a number of skilled foreigners. This achievement was paid for by the multinational dairy concern Parmalat, who had become the club's new sponsor and taken a 45% stake. Success in cup football and high league finishes in the early 1990s attracted other stars, with the likes of Fabio Cannavaro, Gianfranco Zola, Dino Baggio and Diego Fuser joining. Scala jumped ship in 1996 and was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti. He took the club to its best ever league finish in 1997, second place and only one point behind the champions.
