History

The foundation and first steps

Football first arrived in the city of

Football Club Torinese was founded in 1894.[4][5][6]

Alfred Dick, founder and then president of the newly born Foot-Ball Club Torino

The new game quickly supplanted the popularity of

Italian Football Championship.[citation needed
]

In 1900, Football Club Torinese absorbed Internazionale Torino, and on 3 December 1906 at the Voigt brewery (now bar Norman) on Via Pietro Micca an alliance was formed with a group of Juventus dissidents, led by the Swiss financier

Pro Vercelli, won 3–1 by Torino.[citation needed

Torino did not participate in the 1908 Italian Football Championship as a rule was passed which limited the use of foreign players.[citation needed] The club instead played in two popular "minor" tournaments: the coveted "Palla Dapples" (a silver trophy in the shape of a regulation football), won against Pro Vercelli; and an international tournament organised by La Stampa, which took place in Turin that year.[citation needed] Torino lost in the final to Swiss side Servette.[8]

In

Genoa.[citation needed] In the final game of the championship, Torino would have had the opportunity to play the Genoese head-on after defeating them in the first leg 6–1.[citation needed
]

The first scudetto

Torino during a tour of Argentina in 1929

Heinrich Schönfeld, a forward, joined the team in 1923 and became the top scorer in the 1923–1924 Serie A. He scored 22 goals, in 20 games, scoring 51.1% of the team's goals.[9]

The club experienced its first success under the presidency of Count Enrico Marone Cinzano, who was responsible for building the

Bologna. However, the title was revoked on 3 November 1927 due to the "Allemandi Case".[10]

After the revoking of the prior scudetto, Torino were reconfirmed champions of Italy in the

After the resignation of Cinzano, the club began a slow decline in the early 1930s and often finished mid-table.[

]

In 1939–40, Torino finished in fifth place, and saw the arrival of club president Ferruccio Novo. Novo provided financial support to the club and utilised his skill as a careful administrator. With valuable contributions from Antonio Janni, Giacinto Ellena and Mario Sperone, Novo was able to build a team known as the Grande Torino.[10]

Grande Torino

The Invincibles of the "Grande Torino", winners of five consecutive Serie A titles

The club's greatest period is encapsulated in the Grande Torino, a team which won five titles in a row (not considering the interruption to the league in the 1944 Campionato Alta Italia, in which the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) in 2002 recognised only honorary value to Spezia) between 1942 and 1949, and the Coppa Italia in 1943 (due to this success, Torino was the first team to win the coveted Scudetto and Coppa Italia "double" in Italy during the same season).[citation needed] Torino's players formed the backbone of the Italy national team in this period, at one point fielding ten players simultaneously in the Azzurri.

The captain and undisputed leader of the team was

Egri Erbstein and Leslie Lievesley, two club officials, the club masseur, three journalists, and the four members of the crew.[11]

From relegation to the title

La Farfalla Granata, Gigi Meroni in the 1960s

Difficult years followed in the aftermath of the tragedy. A slow decline led to the club's first relegation to Serie B, which took place under the name "Talmone Torino" in 1958–59.[citation needed] The stay in Serie B would only last one season, with Torino's return to the top flight in 1960–61.[citation needed] In 1963, Orfeo Pianelli assumed presidency. He appointed Nereo Rocco as manager and signed club icon Gigi Meroni, nicknamed "The Maroon Butterfly" (La Farfalla Granata).[12] In 1964–65, the team finished in third place.[citation needed]

On 15 October 1967, Meroni was killed while crossing the street after a league game.[13] Despite the tragedy, Torino finished the season in seventh place and won the Coppa Italia.[citation needed] The reconstruction of a winning team, initiated by the club president Pianelli, continued with the victory of another Coppa Italia in the 1970–71 season.[citation needed]

In the

Perugia.[citation needed] The title was won by two points ahead of Juventus, 27 years after the Superga tragedy.[citation needed

Francesco Graziani and Paolo Pulici, Torino's attacking duo in the 1975–76 season

The same title race was repeated the next year in a season that saw Torino finish with 50 points behind Juventus's 51, a record points total for the 16-team league format.[

Verona side led by Osvaldo Bagnoli.[citation needed
]

Journey in Europe and bankruptcy

UEFA Cup

At the end of the

final on the away goals rule to Dutch side Ajax, after a 2–2 draw in Turin and 0–0 in Amsterdam.[citation needed] In Serie A, Torino finished in third place.[16]

In the

Roma,[16] however the club subsequently went through a period of severe[why?] economic difficulties.[clarification needed][citation needed] The club changed presidents and managers several times, but the results continued to worsen, and at the end of the 1995–96 season, Torino were relegated for a third time.[17]

After a play-off lost on penalties in the

Petrucci Law, which guaranteed registration to Serie B, as well as all of the sporting titles of "Torino Calcio."[citation needed] On 19 August, Urbano Cairo was officially announced as the new president of the club at the bar Norman (once known as Voigt brewery).[22] With the sale, the club changed its name to "Torino Football Club".[citation needed
]

Torino achieved immediate promotion in the 2005–06 season after winning the play-offs.[citation needed] The following season, Torino escaped relegation in the penultimate round of matches.[citation needed] After three seasons, the club once again were relegated to Serie B.[citation needed] During the 2009–10 season, Cairo named Gianluca Petrachi as the new sporting director at Torino, but the club failed to gain promotion that season and the one following.[23][24]

Return to Europe

On 6 June 2011, the club officially announced

Modena 2–0 in the penultimate round of the season.[27] After achieving safety from relegation in the 2012–13 season, the 2013–14 season marked a sharp upturn for Torino, who finished seventh place, and qualified for the 2014–15 Europa League.[28] The stars[tone] of the year were Alessio Cerci and Ciro Immobile; the latter finished as the top scorer in Serie A.[29][30]

The 2014–15 season saw Torino reach the round of 16 of the Europa League, where they were eliminated by Zenit Saint Petersburg.[citation needed] In the league, Torino finished ninth, and in spring, won their first derby in 20 years.[citation needed] The following year, Torino finished the 2015–16 season in twelfth place, after which Ventura, after five years in charge, left the club for the Italy national football team.[citation needed] He was replaced by Siniša Mihajlović,[31] who finished the 2016–17 season in ninth place.[citation needed] He was replaced by Walter Mazzarri in January, who guided the club to another ninth-place finish at the end of the 2017–18 season.[citation needed] The following season Torino finished in seventh place and qualified for the Europa League after a five-year absence.[citation needed] Torino finished the season on 63 points, a club record since the introduction of the three points system in 1994.[32] Torino, however, would fail to enter the group stages of the 2019–20 Europa League after being eliminated in the play-offs by Wolverhampton Wanderers.[citation needed] In the league, after a strong start to the season, Torino collapsed and only obtained a minimum achievement of safety from relegation.[citation needed]

The following season was also negative, and marked by the alternation on the bench of managers

Lazio.[citation needed] The following season saw the arrival of Ivan Jurić on the bench, who guided the club to a tenth place finish.[citation needed
]

Colours and badge

The first uniform used by Torino only a few days after its foundation and in the first game of its history against

Football Club Torinese, the historical predecessors of the newly formed club.[33] Incidentally the colours were too similar to that of the Habsburgs, historical enemies of the then ruling Italian house and considered inappropriate.[citation needed] Given the need to adopt a definitive color the founders opted in the end for granata, a dark shade of red similar to burgundy.[citation needed
]

The most widely accepted story[

black socks; the colour derived, being considered a good omen, would eventually be chosen as the official colour.[citation needed] Previously, the club had tried to obtain permission to use royal blue, but the monarchs of Italy were reluctant to grant the use of their dynastic color to a single team, as opposed to a few years later, when Azure adopted by the various national sports teams.[35][36]

Since then, the traditional home uniform of Torino has been composed of a kit combined with traditionally

Milan, ending 1–1.[40][41]

Torino in 1976–77 with the traditional away shirt with the scudetto on the chest which encompasses the bull in a rampant position

The Torino club badge has always featured a rampant bull, the symbol of the city of Turin.[42] The current badge was adopted in the 2005–06 season, the first following the bankruptcy of Torino Calcio.[citation needed] The "1906" on the left side of the shield was later added to denote the founding year of the historic Foot-Ball Club Torino.[42]

In the 1980s, the Torino badge was square in shape with a stylised bull and the words "Torino Calcio."[citation needed] This badge is still held in high regard by the fans, and in 2013 it was voted by the readers of Guerin Sportivo as the most beautiful club logo of all time.[43] From 1990 until the bankruptcy, the badge in use recalled the one used at the time of the Grande Torino, with the important difference that the right side of the oval crossed the letter "T" and "C" (initials of "Torino Calcio") instead of the letters "A", "C" and "T" (initials of "Associazione Calcio Torino").[citation needed]

In 2017, the Irish club Wexford Youths renamed itself Wexford F.C. and adopted a new crest with rampant bull, inspired by Torino's. Club chairman Mick Wallace is known to be a Torino fan.[44][45][46]

Built specifically for the

Stadio Olimpico. The new capacity was now 27,958 seated, reduced by about 38,000 from the original in compliance with modern safety standards.[48] In April 2016, the Olimpico was renamed in honour of the Grande Torino.[3][49]

The Stadio Filadelfia also served as the training ground of Torino from 1926 to 1993. More recently, from 2006 to 2017, the team's training base was the Sisport di Corso Unione Sovietica.[50] In the 2017–18 season, Torino returned to training at the reconstructed Filadelfia.[51]

Torino and the Italy national team

Among the players of Torino to win international honours with the Italy national football team are Adolfo Baloncieri, Antonio Janni, Julio Libonatti and Gino Rossetti, all winners with Italy at the Central European International Cup 1927–30, and who (with exception of Libonatti) also won bronze medals at the 1928 Summer Olympics.[53][54][55][56] Subsequently, Lido Vieri and Giorgio Ferrini were victorious at the 1968 European Championship with the Azzurri,[57][58] whilst Giuseppe Dossena won the FIFA World Cup in 1982.[59]

On 11 May 1947, during a friendly match between Italy and Hungary that finished 3–2, Vittorio Pozzo fielded 10 players who were at Torino; this remains the largest number of Italian players fielded from the same club in the same match in the history of the Italy national team.[60]

With 74 players having represented Italy throughout the club's existence, Torino is the fifth ranked Italian club for number of players capped by the Azzurri (sixth by number of total admissions).[61] Francesco Graziani is the Torino player who has accumulated the most appearances (47) and goals (20) for Italy.[60] On 11 June 2017, Andrea Belotti scored the hundredth goal of a Torino player in an Azzurri shirt, during a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Liechtenstein.[62]

Youth system

Fabio Quagliarella, product of the Torino youth system

The Torino youth system is formed of four men's teams that participate in separate national leagues (Primavera, Beretti, Allievi Nazionali Serie A & B, and Allievi Nazionali Lega Pro) and three that participate at regional level (Giovanissimi Nazionali, Giovanissimi Regionali A & B).[63] Torino was one of the first Italian clubs to adopt a youth system, organised as early as the 1930s and is considered one of the best in Italy.[64]

Domestically, Torino hold the record for most championships won in both the

Campionato Nazionale Dante Berretti with 10 titles.[citation needed] In addition, they have won the Coppa Italia Primavera a record eight times, and the prestigious[tone] Torneo di Viareggio six times.[citation needed
]

The players developed in the Torino youth system were nicknamed "Balon-Boys" in honour of Adolfo Baloncieri, the player and club icon who ended his Torino career in 1932.[65] The Torino youth system has developed numerous renowned players, including actor and journalist Raf Vallone, who devoted himself to a career in the arts after his debut for the first team.[66]

Supporters and rivalries

An image of the Torino fans

The fans of Torino hold a number of distinctions, including the first ever organised supporters group in Italy, the Fedelissimi Granata, founded in 1951.

Roma.[70] It was at the Filadelfia that Oreste Bolmida, the trumpeter fan made famous by the film Ora e per sempre also performed.[71] In the 1970s the fans began to organise the club's first choreographies, which were used in commercials of French carmaker Renault in the subsequent decade.[70] In 1979, the curva Maratona was awarded "the most beautiful stand of Europe" by French magazine Onze Mondial; an image of this section of the stadium was later featured on the cover of France Football on 21 December 1979.[70]

The fans of Torino are "twinned" with the fans of

The friendship between Brazilian club Corinthians and Torino dates back to 1914; that year, Torino became the first Italian club to travel South America on tour. The club played six friendly matches, two of which were against Corinthians, and despite the results on the field, the two clubs established friendly relationships. On 4 May 1949, when the Grande Torino team perished in plane crash of Superga, Corinthians paid tribute to the Italians in a friendly match against Portuguesa when its starting XI took to the field in Torino's kit.[74]

The Argentines of

Benfica is also very strong, the last to have met the Grande Torino before the aerial disaster of Superga.[76] Other supporters with whom there is a friendship are supporters of English club Manchester City.[77]

Torino's historical rivalries are with

Genoa turned negative as a result of Genoese festivities during the Torino–Genoa match on 24 May 2009 won by the Rossoblu; the result contributed to Torino's relegation to Serie B.[79] On 16 December 2012, the day when the two clubs met for the first time after Torino's return to Serie A, clashes erupted between the two club's organised supporters.[80] The rivalry with city rivals Juventus is the most heated,[how?] with the two teams taking part in the Derby della Mole, one of the most popular derbies in Italian football and the oldest still played.[tone][citation needed

Statistics and records

Giorgio Ferrini

Torino is in 8th place in the Serie A all-time standings,[81] which takes account of all the football teams that have played in the top flight at least once.

In the Italian league, the team has finished in first place on eight occasions, although the club has only won seven championship titles,[82] seven times in second place and nine times in third place.[1] In 100 seasons, including 18 in various championships that preluded the single round format (Torino withdrew in 1908 and the 1915–16 Coppa Federale is not recognised), 73 in Serie A and 12 in Serie B, the club has finished on the podium in 23% of cases.[1]

Paolo Pulici

In the

Juventus: while the Granata competed in Serie A, Juventus took part in Serie B following the aftermath of the Calciopoli scandal.[1]

Giorgio Ferrini holds the club's official appearance record with 566 appearances (plus 56 goals) accumulated between 1959 and 1975.[83] The record for the most goals scored is held by Paolo Pulici, with 172 official goals (in 437 appearances) between 1967 and 1982.[84]

Eight different Torino players have won the

194546),[85] followed by Valentino Mazzola in 1946–47 (29).[85] Torino would have to wait almost 30 years before another league top scorer emerged, namely when Paolo Pulici broke his low-scoring streak in the mid-1970s and won the award in 1972–73 (17), 1974–75 (18) and 1975–76 (21).[85] He was succeeded by teammate Francesco Graziani in 1976–77 who scored 21 goals. After almost 40 years without a top-scorer from Torino, Ciro Immobile (22) established himself as the league's top scorer in 2013–14.[85]
