[edit] History
The club was founded in 1999 as Associazione Calcio Gallipoli to represent the town of Gallipoli from the province of Lecce.[1] The club quickly rised up the Italian football system, being one of the two who were promoted from Eccellenza Apulia in 2003–04.
After gaining a promotion during their first ever season in Serie D, the club changed its name to Gallipoli Calcio in 2005.[1]
The ambitious club is currently coached by former Serie A star Dario Bonetti.
