Club: Piacenza Calcio Year: 1997/98 Brand: Lotto Jersey Type: Home Size: XL Player Name: NA Chest length (cm): 59 Shirt length (cm): 72 Condition: 8/10 History: The 1997–98 season marked Piacenza Calcio’s third consecutive campaign in Serie A, Italy’s top-flight league. Renowned for their all-Italian squad, Piacenza aimed to extend their stay in Serie A and recorded their best-ever league finish, securing 12th place, though just two points above the relegation zone.
Offensively, Piacenza lacked a prolific goalscorer, with Davide Dionigi, Roberto Murgita, and Gianpietro Piovani each finishing as joint top scorers with five goals. Following the departure of Massimo Taibi, the club brought in Matteo Sereni on loan from Sampdoria to strengthen their goalkeeping position. Meanwhile, a young Simone Inzaghi made his debut in the Coppa Italia, setting the stage for his breakout 1998–99 season, when he scored 15 league goals before earning a move to Lazio.
This era solidified Piacenza’s reputation as a resilient mid-table side, avoiding relegation battles through disciplined performances. The club also developed several future stars through its academy, including Filippo Inzaghi, Simone Inzaghi, Alberto Gilardino, and Alessandro Lucarelli, who all later became key figures in Italian football.
Despite relegation in 2000, Piacenza achieved an immediate return to Serie A, enjoying two more seasons in the top flight. The 2001–02 season saw midfielder Enzo Maresca emerge as a standout player, helping the team secure another 12th-place finish.
Piacenza’s late 1990s and early 2000s period remains one of the club’s most successful, defined by strong team spirit, youth development, and survival in Serie A.
