'''Bologna Football Club 1909''', commonly referred to as '''Bologna''' ({{IPA|it|boˈloɲɲa}}), is an Italian [[association football|professional football]] club based in [[Bologna]], [[Emilia-Romagna]] that plays in [[Serie A]], the top flight of [[Football in Italy|Italian football]]. The club have won seven top-flight titles, three [[Coppa Italia]] titles, and one [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]].

Founded in 1909, Bologna were founding members of Serie A, and won many of their league championships during the late 1930s. The club ceded any league dominance by 1964, when they won their last league title to date. They won two Coppa Italia titles in the 1970s, before battling relegation throughout the latter part of the 20th century. Bologna changed ownership multiple times during the early 2000s and 2010s, due to financial mismanagement, and later stabilized under the guise of a Canadian consortium led by [[Joey Saputo]].

Bologna have participated in 79 Serie A seasons, which is the ninth-most in Italian football history. The club have played in the [[Stadio Renato Dall'Ara]] since 1927, which is the tenth-largest stadium by capacity in Serie A.

==History==
[[File:Bologna through the ages 2025.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The performance of Bologna in the Italian football league structure since the first season of a unified Serie A (1929/30).]]

{{Main|History of Bologna FC 1909}}
'''Bologna Football Club''''s formation was orchestrated by Emilio Arnstein, an Austrian who became interested in [[association football|football]] at university in [[Vienna]] and [[Prague]]. He and his brother had previously founded another football club, Black Star, in Austria.

The club was founded on 3 October 1909, in the Northern Italian city of [[Bologna]]. Upon its formation, Carlo Sandoni was the club's sponsor and general manager, Swiss Louis Rauch became president, [[nobleman]] Guido Della Valle was the vice-president, Enrico Penaglia secretary, Sergio Lampronti [[cashier]], while Emilio Arnstein and Leone Vincenzi were appointed councilmen.
[[File:Bologna1912.JPG|thumb|upright=1.2|left|Bologna squad from the 1912 season.]]

On 20 March 1910, Bologna played their first ever game, against [[Virtus Bologna|Virtus]], who wore white shirts. Bologna outclassed their opponents, winning 9–1. The first football squad featured; Koch, Chiara, Pessarelli, Bragaglia, Guido Della Valle, Nanni, Donati, Rauch, Bernabeu, Mezzano, and Gradi.

Their formative season was spent in the regional league under Arrigo Gradi as captain, Bologna won their league gaining promotion to a league named ''Group Veneto-Emiliano''. They spent four seasons in this league, never finishing lower than fifth. Bologna were entered into the Northern League before all football leagues were postponed for World War I.

===Champions: 1920s and 1930s===
After the [[World War I|first war]], Bologna began to become more successful. First reaching the semi-finals of the Northern Italian competition in 1919–20, they went one better the following season by reaching the Northern League finals, going out 2–1 to [[U.S. Pro Vercelli Calcio|Pro Vercelli]]. They would equal this again in 1923–24, coming runner up to eventual national champions [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]].

Bologna became Northern and National League champions for the first time during 1924–25, beating [[Genoa CFC]] after five hard-fought final matches to take the championship. The finals against the Ligurian giants were marred by heavy crowd troubles. A few seasons later Bologna became champions of Italy for the second time in 1928–29 giving them a foothold in Italian football, building up a legacy, this was the last time the league was competed in the old system, Serie A was instated the following year.
[[File:Bologna Associazione Giuoco del Calcio 1936-37.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|1936–37 Italian champion Bologna.]]

Bologna won the ''[[Scudetto]]'' three more times before World War II, in 1935–36, [[1936–37 Bologna F.C. 1909 season|1936–37]] and [[1938–39 Bologna F.C. 1909 season|1938–39]], and once during the war ([[1940–41 Bologna F.C. 1909 season|1940–41]]).

===Post-World War II===
After [[World War II]], the club was less successful. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the club generally floated between fourth, fifth and sixth position in the league, until they took the league title back in [[1963–64 Bologna F.C. 1909 season|1963–64]]. To date this remains their last [[Serie A]] championship, bringing the club's total to seven. This qualified Bologna to the [[1964–65 European Cup]] (today UEFA Champions League), but they were eliminated in the preliminary round against [[R.S.C. Anderlecht|Anderlecht]].
[[File:Bologna Football Club 1963-64.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|left|The last Bologna side to win the ''scudetto'', in the 1963–64 season.]]

It was not all doom and gloom for the club, however; in the 1970s, they won the [[Italian Cup]] twice, the second final of which was against [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]]. The game was tense and finished 1–1 before going to a [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootout]], where Bologna won 4–3.

===Climbing down and back up the Leagues===
Beginning in the 1981–82 season, the club began to slide. First, they were relegated from Serie A after battling it out for survival with [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]] and [[Genoa C.F.C.|Genoa]]. They were relegated twice in succession and slid into [[Serie C1]]. They won their way out of C1 the next year, and returned to Serie A for the 1988–89 season after four years of fighting it out in [[Serie B]].

They did not remain long, however, being relegated in 1991 and returning to Serie C1 in 1993. The club returned to Serie A for 1996. Two years later, Bologna tasted a slice of success on the European stage, winning the [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]] and playing in the [[UEFA Cup]]. The club remained in Serie A until the [[2004–05 Serie A|2004–05]] campaign, losing to [[Parma F.C.|Parma]] in the playoffs.

====Serie B====
Despite losing some key players, Bologna expected to be challenging strongly for promotion from [[Serie B]] in the [[2005–06 Serie B|2005–06 campaign]]. Despite its ambition, however, Bologna had a poor start to the season, causing the sacking of experienced coach [[Renzo Ulivieri]], replaced by former [[F.C. Internazionale Milano|Internazionale]] defender [[Andrea Mandorlini]].

During this time, the team was sold by Giuseppe Gazzoni Frascara to Alfredo Cazzola, a local entrepreneur. Mandorlini, however, was not either able to bring Bologna up the Serie B table, and was fired on 5 March 2006; Ulivieri was then appointed back as team coach, after having been sacked a few months before. Bologna ended the 2005–06 Serie B campaign in eighth place. In the [[2006–07 Serie B|2006–07 season]], Bologna ended with the seventh place: there were several clashes between chairman Cazzola and head coach Ulivieri, who was ultimately fired on 14 April 2007 and replaced by caretaker and former assistant coach [[Luca Cecconi]]. For the [[2007–08 Serie B|2007–08 season]], Bologna was led by [[Daniele Arrigoni]], who helped the ''rossoblù'' achieve automatic promotion back to the top flight after finishing second in Serie B.

====Serie A====
During the summer of 2008, a club takeover was agreed between Cazzola and an American-based consortium; this was, however, cancelled in the end, following disagreements between the parties, and the club was successively sold to a local group led by new chairman Francesca Menarini, who thus became the second female chairman in the whole Serie A. Arrigoni was confirmed as head coach by the new group, and the start appeared to be particularly impressive, with a surprising 2–1 win at [[San Siro]] against [[A.C. Milan|Milan]] thanks to a winning goal scored by [[Francesco Valiani]]. The next weeks saw Bologna struggling in the league, however, with eight losses in nine matches. A disappointing 5–1 loss to [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]] ultimately led the club management to sack Daniele Arrigoni on 3 November 2008 and appoint [[Siniša Mihajlović]] as new ''rossoblù'' boss.<ref name="mihajlovic_bologna">{{Cite news|publisher=Bologna FC 1909 |url=http://www.bolognafc.it/pagen.asp?c=4915&m=11&l=1 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20090919123831/http://www.bolognafc.it/pagen.asp?c=4915&m=11&l=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=19 September 2009 |title=Il Bologna a Mihajlovic |date=3 November 2008 |access-date=3 November 2008 |language=it }}</ref>

On 14 April 2009, [[Giuseppe Papadopulo]] was appointed as the new manager, and successfully managed to raise the team spirit avoiding relegation to Serie B only in the last match of the season. In the [[2009–10 Serie A|2009–10 season]], Bologna played in Serie A for the 65th time, and escaped relegation again despite financial issues under new head coach [[Franco Colomba]].

In June 2010, a club takeover was completed, with the club being sold by the Menarini family to [[Sardinia]]n entrepreneur Sergio Porcedda. Franco Colomba was sacked right before the [[2010–11 Serie A|2010–11 season]] opener on 29 August 2010, despite surviving relegation with the team in the 2009–10 season. The president of the club, Sergio Porcedda, said that the decision was made mostly "because he [Colomba] was skeptical of the team."<ref name="bologna_news">{{Cite news|publisher=ESPN Soccernet|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=818951&sec=europe&cc=5901&campaign=rss&source=soccernet|title=Bologna sack Colomba ahead of Inter game|date=29 August 2010|access-date=3 November 2008|archive-date=23 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023111949/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=818951&sec=europe&cc=5901&campaign=rss&source=soccernet|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===The consortium "Bologna 2010"===

On 23 December 2010, the consortium ''Bologna 2010'' led by banker [[Giovanni Consorte]] and coffee businessman [[Massimo Zanetti]] acquired the club from Sergio Porcedda, after the latter failed to pay wages for the club during his short-tenured ownership and put Bologna in threat of bankruptcy. The company also owed agent fee to [[Leonardo Corsi]] in the [[Andrea Raggi]]'s transfer.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.coni.it/fileadmin/arbitrato/447_A.pdf |title=Dott.

On 21 January 2011, chairman Massimo Zanetti and CEO Luca Baraldi, after only 28 days, resigned because of irreconcilable differences with the other personal and financial partners.
Stefano Pedrelli became the new director general. For 76 days, the chairman was Marco Pavignani.

From 7 April 2011, after the resignation of Pavignani and having paid €2.5m of capital increase, the new chairman was Albano Guaraldi,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2011/04/08/2431298/official-bologna-appoint-albano-guaraldi-as-new-president|title=Official: Bologna appoint Albano Guaraldi as new president &#124; Goal.com|website=www.goal.com|access-date=3 September 2020|archive-date=12 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121012183940/http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2011/04/08/2431298/official-bologna-appoint-albano-guaraldi-as-new-president|url-status=live}}</ref> the second largest shareholder of the consortium "Bologna 2010" with the 17% of the quotas, behind the outgoing Zanetti.

The 2013–14 season saw Bologna once again relegated to the Serie B, and also gave light to a number of financial problems involving the club and its ownership of Albino Guaraldi, who was considerably criticized by the team supporters also for a number of controversial decisions, including the sale of star player [[Alessandro Diamanti]] to Chinese club [[Guangzhou Evergrande F.C.|Guangzhou Evergrande]]. A new head coach was then found in former Cagliari boss [[Diego López (footballer, born August 1974)|Diego López]] for the new season, whereas Guaraldi clearly stated his intention to hand over his Bologna stakes to a new owner. A North American group headed by [[Joe Tacopina]] and [[Joey Saputo]] (owner of [[CF Montréal]], also the team of former Bologna hero [[Marco Di Vaio]]) then stated its interest in acquiring the club; this was followed by another offer coming from former chairman [[Massimo Zanetti]]. On 15 October 2014, the board of directors ratified the sale of the club to BFC 1909 Lux SPV, and Tacopina became the new club chairman.
