Sporting Club Lecce began on 15 March 1908 with football, track-and-field and cycling under one banner. The club dissolved during 1923โ24 and came back on 16 September 1927 as Unione Sportiva Lecce, entering Serie B for 1929โ30 with a 2โ1 win against Novara on 6 October 1929 in their first league game. The long years in Serie C ended in 1975โ76 after three straight second places. A first promotion to Serie A came in 1985 under Eugenio Fascetti, followed by a second in 1988. The 1993โ94 season was a low: last place with 11 points, the lowest total of any Serie A side. A win away at Milan on 19 October 1997 shows why Lecce are never written off. Pantaleo Corvino became sports director in the summer of 1998 and built a name for finding young talent, and Lecce came back to the top flight in 1999 and again in 2003. Under Zdenฤk Zeman in 2004โ05 they scored plenty of goals. Survival came on 15 May 2011, but 2011โ12 brought relegation. Fabio Liverani, named coach in September 2017, then delivered back-to-back promotions that took Lecce from Serie C to Serie A, and Marco Baroni won the 2021โ22 Serie B title, the tenth elevation to the top flight.
The Serie B title has been won twice, in 2009โ10 and 2021โ22, and Serie C has been won four times, in 1945โ46, 1975โ76, 1995โ96 and 2017โ18. The Coppa Italia Serie C came in 1975โ76, the same year as one of the Serie C wins, and the Anglo-Italian Semiprofessional Cup followed in 1976โ77.
Bari are Lecce's main rivalry, a fellow club from Apulia and, like Lecce, among the region's most successful sides, with the meeting known as the Derby di Puglia. The sides played each other many times in Serie C and the Coppa Italia before the derby reached Serie A, where the first meeting took place in Bari on 27 October 1985 and went to the home side. Among Lecce's most important results in the fixture is a 4โ0 in Bari in a Serie B match on 22 December 2007. A meeting in Bari on 15 May 2011 ended with Lecce prevailing 2โ0 and securing their place in Serie A. Both clubs rank among the most successful in Apulia, so the derby is a contest for standing in the region as much as for points.
