Cagliari
Calcio is an Italian football club based in Cagliari, Sardinia. The club was
formed in 1920 and currently plays in Italian Serie A, having spent a large
part of recent years bouncing between Italy's top division and Serie B. They
won their only scudetto in 1970. The team's colors are blue and red. The
club's stadium is the 39,905 seater Stadio Sant'Elia.
In 2003, Cagliari signed Sardinian-born star and former Italian
international Gianfranco Zola from Chelsea FC. Zola promptly led the club to
a Serie A promotion in his first year with the team. Another prominent
player on the team is Mauro Esposito, who is a defender on the Italian
national team. |
