History
Serie A
Foundation
The club was founded in 1925 as Terni F.B.C after the merger between Terni Football Club and Unione Sportiva Ternana, reaching the II Division in 1926 and the I Division (nowadays known as Serie B) just a year later.[citation needed]
From Serie C to Serie B
The club, however, folded in due to financial difficulties, being refounded in 1929 as Unione Fascista Ternana (a denomination that was common during the Italian fascist regime).[
In 1946, after the World War II, football restarted in Italy and Ternana played in the Serie B, missing promotion for two consecutive years, and being relegated to Serie C in 1949 and IV Serie in 1950.[citation needed] A third relegation, this time to Promozione, came in 1953, and was followed by two years in the regional division for Ternana before returning to IV Serie in 1955.[citation needed] The club returned to Serie C in 1964, and Serie B in 1968, the latter under coach Corrado Viciani.[citation needed]
1970s–1993: From Serie A to bankruptcy
In 1972, Ternana finally won Serie B and reached Serie A for their first time, again with Viciani as coach.[citation needed] However, the club did not prove to be ready for Serie A, as they were promptly[tone] relegated in their debut appearance in the top flight, managing only three wins in 30 matches.[citation needed] In 1974, again in Serie B, Ternana managed to[tone] reach one of the three top spots, winning their second promotion to Serie A; this was, however, followed by yet another sad[tone] relegation.[citation needed] In the following years, despite a number of noted head coaches such as Edmondo Fabbri, Cesare Maldini and Renzo Ulivieri, Ternana did not manage to return in the top flight, and instead were relegated to Serie C in 1980, despite a prestigious[tone] run in the 1979–80 Coppa Italia, where Ternana reached the semi-finals, being then eliminated 3–1 on aggregate by Roma.[citation needed]
