Juventus

Formed in 1897 by a group of students, Juventus are the third oldest football club in Italy and the first professional club in the country's history. Based in Turin, Juventus have long been a symbol of Italian football, spending their entire history in Serie A, with the exception of the 2006/2007 season as financial irregularities resulted in them being demoted to Serie B.

After spending nearly 60 years playing at the Stadio Comunale Vittorio Pozzo, Juventus moved to the Stadio delle Alpi in 1990, spending the next 15 years at the stadium before moving again in 2005 to the Stadio Olimpico and then again in 2011 to the Juventus Stadium. The club have been owned by the Agnelli family since 1923, in what has been the longest ownership in Italian sports history, with Andrea Agnelli currently serving as Juventus's president. 

Nicknamed La Vecchia Signora (The Old Lady), Juventus have long been integral to the Italian national team's success in terms of producing talent, playing a key role in Italy's World Cup triumphs of 1934, 1982 and 2006.  

With 54 official titles on the national and international stage to their name, Juventus have won more titles than any other Italian club. With an unmatched record of 29 league, nine Coppa Italia, and six Super Coppa Italiana titles, Juventus have long been Italy's most successful side. 

And it's not only domestically where Juventus have dominated. With two Intercontinental Cups, two European Champion Clubs' Cup/UEFA Champions Leagues, one European Cup Winners' Cup, three UEFA Cups, one UEFA Intertoto Cup and two UEFA Super Cups, the club are European football's fourth most successful club and eighth in the world.

The club's most successful manager has been Giovanni Trapattoni, who led the club to six Serie A titles, two Italian Cups, one European Champions Clubs' Cup, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, two UEFA Cups, one UEFA Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup during his two spells in charge of the club between 1976 and 1986 and then again from 1991 to 1995. The Italian coach is also the club's longest-serving manager with 13 seasons, ten of which were consecutive during his first stint as manager. 

Former Juve captain Antonio Conte was named manager in 2011, leading the club to back-to-back Serie A and Supercoppa Italiana titles in 2011/2012 and 2012/2013, and the former midfielder will be looking to continue building a new golden era for the club.
