Unione Sportiva Avellino is an Italian football club, based in Avellino, Campania. The club was founded in 1912. Avellino played the 2004-05 season in Serie C1, being promoted to Serie B after defeating neighbours Napoli in the Serie C1/B play-off finals. However, the 2005/2006 campaign did not end in a good way, as Avellino ended the season in 19th place, and successively lost the relegation playoffs to Albinoleffe (0-2, 3-2), therefore returning back to Serie C1.

History

Avellino were promoted to Serie B in 1973 and Serie A in 1978. A truly remarkable feat for a southern provincial side was a 10-year stay in Serie A between 1978 and 1988, with the club holding a mid-table place for the majority of that period. Their best finish was 8th in 1987, with a team starring Angelo Alessio, Paolo Benedetti, Franco Colomba and Dirceu. The club has tended to shift between Serie B and C1 in the years since. Dirceu , real name José Guimarães Dirceu , (born June 15, 1952 in Rio de Janeiro , died September 15, 1995) was a football (soccer) player from Brazil. ...
