Brescia Calcio ((:ˈbreʃʃa ˈkaltʃo)) is an Italian football club in Brescia, Lombardy, and currently plays in Serie B. The club holds the record for total number of seasons (53) and consecutive seasons (18, from 1947–48 to 1964–65) in Serie B, which they have won three times. Their best finish in Serie A came in the 2000–01 season in seventh place, when, led by the 1993 Ballon d'Or winner Roberto Baggio, the club qualified for the Intertoto Cup. In the latter competition, Brescia reached the final but were defeated on the away goals rule by Paris Saint-Germain after two draws. The team's colours are blue and white. Its stadium is the 27,547 seater Stadio Mario Rigamonti. ==History== The team was founded in 1911 as Brescia Football Club, joining the ''Terza Categoria'' division the same year. In 1913, Brescia was promoted to First Division for its first time ever, and from 1929 it played in Serie A for six of the seven following seasons. Successively, the club played among the two top divisions until 1982, when Brescia was relegated to Serie C1. The club then returned to Serie B in 1985. Brescia played outside the two national tournaments of Lega Calcio (A and B) only four years: under this aspect, only eleven clubs in all Italy marked a better performance. Brescia won the Anglo-Italian Cup in 1994, the biggest notable achievement in their entire history to date. Brescia actually came to the footballing forefront only in 2000, when the previously-unfancied club signed former FIFA World Player of the Year Roberto Baggio, who led Brescia to a seventh-place finish in the 2000–01 season, thus qualifying for the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Successively, Brescia reached the Intertoto Cup finals, then lost to Paris Saint-Germain according to the away goals rule after achieving a 0-0〔(Paris Saint Germain - Brescia Calcio : 0-0 (Match Report) ) ScoresPro.com〕 away draw in the first leg and a 1-1〔(Brescia Calcio - Paris Saint Germain : 1-1 (Match Report) ) ScoresPro.com〕 home draw in the second leg. Baggio spent four years at Brescia before retiring in 2004 and during those historic four years, Brescia became widely known as "Baggio's Brescia." During Baggio's four-year spell with Brescia, Brescia recorded their best-ever run of staying in Serie A. In the very next season that followed Baggio's retirement (2004–2005), however, Brescia were relegated from Serie A on the last day, finishing a lowly 19th. Brescia struggled for returning to top flight after the relegation and finally returned to Serie A after beating Torino with a 2–1 aggregate in the 2009–10 season. In the 2010–11 season, however, they were relegated back to Serie B. In the 2014-15 season they got relegated in Lega Pro after finishing second from last. However, after Parma's declaration of bankruptcy and demotion to Serie D, Brescia is among one of the teams to be selected to replace them in Serie B. Former Spanish captain and FC Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola, the Romanian Gheorghe Hagi, striker Luca Toni, and Juventus star Andrea Pirlo – born in Brescia – have also spent time in Brescia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brescia Calcio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
