As a club, Spezia has been around for a long time, but they have not been around the top-flight of Italian football for very long. Their Serie A odds make them extreme longshots to win the league anytime soon, but just being here after such a long climb is a win in and of itself. Here, we look at Spezia stats and other Spezia betting information that bettors will want to keep an eye out for when wagering on or against this club.
Spezia General info
Spezia Calcio is a club based out of La Spezia in the Liguria region of Italy, in the Northwest portion of the country. Home matches on the Spezia schedule are played at Stadio Alberto Picco, which is one of the smaller venues in top-tier soccer holding just over 11,000 fans. With only one tier of stands and mountains in the background, the venue looks a little out of place for Serie A matchups, but the club has remained at this venue during its run in Serie A.
Spezia History
There are not many Serie A betting stats to speak of when it comes to Spezia, as they have only been in the league for a few years. They were founded in 1906, but they have only been in Serie A since the 2020-21 season. They will aim to build more history in the top division of Italy by remaining in the league without being relegated, which they avoided by just a couple of spots in the table in the 2021-22 season.
Spezia Records
Given the lack of first-division experience that this club possesses, it is not surprising that a look at Spezia stats leaders does not reveal a ton of household names. For example, the all-time leader in appearances at this club is Claudio Terzi with 218 appearances. As a center-back, he did play several seasons in Serie A with Siena and Bologna, but he spent most of his time with Spezia during their time in Serie B.
Looking at the list of all-time goal scorers at Spezia, only one player has recorded more than 50 goals with the club in their history. That player was Massimiliano Guidetti, who also played for the club during its time in a lower division.
Championship won by Spezia
So far, Spezia has yet to finish atop the Serie A standings to win a Scudetto, as they have only been in the league for a few seasons. In fact, they have not yet won a competition above the Serie C level just yet. That is something they will hope to change in the years to come.
Historical Events
The biggest event in the history of Spezia has to be their triumph in the promotion playoffs in the 2019-2020 season. They finished that season in third place in Serie B, missing out on the automatic promotion slots by just one position in the table. But they beat out Pordenone, Cittadella, Chievo, Empoli, and Frosinone to reach the top level of the sport in Italy.

Spezia’s Best Coaches
In addition to being a great name for an Italian soccer manager, Vincenzo Italiano was the most successful manager in Spezia history. He was in charge for two full years, the longest-tenured manager at the club in a decade at the time. He was also in charge of the club when it earned a promotion to Serie A, making him a part of the club’s history forever.
