The Udinese Calcio was created in 1896. The team was first promoted to the Italian top football division (then called Prima Categoria) in 1916.
The team was relegated to the second division in 1923 and since then, the Zebrette spent many years going back and forth between Serie A, Serie B and Serie C, until season 1995-96, when they reached the Serie A once again.
Udinese has managed to stay there since then, most of the time in the top half of the table and making several appearances in European competitions as well.
This is club that clearly desires to keep improving, making great investments and deals in the players’ market and innovating in the league.
The exceptional manager Pasquale Marino, with his renowned calculated system, has made an encouraging impact for the Zebrette.
