However, after their last league title in 1999, Servette began experiencing financial problems, which led to a turbulent decade. The club was relegated to the third division in 2004–05 due to a bankruptcy, but achieved promotion to the Swiss Challenge League after the 2005–06 season, where the club remained until 2011. Servette earned promotion to the Swiss Super League after defeatingBellinzonain a relegation/promotion playoff on 31 May 2011. The club finished fourth in its first season back in the top flight, thereby gaining entrance to theEuropa Leaguesecond round qualification round for the 2012–13 season. However, they were relegated at the end of the 2013 season. They returned to the Swiss first tier in 2019, being promoted asChallenge League championswith a 15 points lead in front of the 2nd rankedFC Aarau.
History
editEarly years to bankruptcy
editFounded in 1890, Servette are one of the most prolific Swiss football clubs, having won 17 Swiss league championships and seven Swiss cups. Servette was also the winner of theTorneo Internazionale Stampa Sportiva,one of the first international football competitions in the world, in 1908. In 1930, Servette organized theCoupe des Nations,predecessor of theUEFA Champions League.
The club was originally founded as the "Football Club de la Servette", arugby footballteam based in the Genevan neighbourhood ofthe same name.Due to the dwindling popularity of this sport in Switzerland, afootballsection of the club was created, leading to its integration in theSwiss Football Associationin 1900.[1]
Led byUmberto BarberisandClaude "Didi" Andrey,in 1978–1979 the club won all of the competitions it entered – with the exception of the European Cup Winners' Cup where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals onaway goalsbyFortuna Düsseldorf,that year's finalist. Barberis later became French champion in 1982 withAS Monaco.
Until its bankruptcy, Servette was the only Swiss club to have remained in the top league since its creation in 1890. Servette remained the only club to have never been relegated for sporting reasons, until they finished last in the 2012–2013 season.
Bankruptcy and revival
editOn 4 February 2005, the parent company of the club was declared bankrupt.[2]It had run debts of over 10 millionSwiss francs,having not paid the players since the previous November, and consequently the club suffered an exodus of players looking for paying clubs. As a consequence of the bankruptcy Servette Under 21s took over the club name playing two divisions below the original Servette team in1. Liga,a fate already experienced by regional rivalsLausanne Sportsin 2003, and continued to play at the Stade de Geneve in front of smaller crowds.
In the 2005–06 season, a rejuvenated Servette secured promotion to the Challenge League, the second highest division in Switzerland.
In the 2010–11 season, Servette finished 2nd in the Challenge League, thereby qualifying for a relegation/promotion play-off against Super League teamAC Bellinzona.Servette lost the initial match in Bellinzona 1–0, but won the return match 3–1 and winning the tie 3–2 on aggregate, securing promotion to the Swiss Super League.[3]
2011 to 2018
editDuring the Summer 2011 transfer window, Servette FC made very few signings, considering the club had been promoted from the second division to the Super League.Barroca,Issaga Diallo,Carlos Saleiroand Abdoulaye Fall (the latter failed to receive a work permit) were signed as permanent transfers,[4]in addition toIshmael Yartey[5]andRoderick Miranda[6]joining the club on loan fromBenfica.Costinha,a former Portugal international and Champions League winner withFC Porto,was appointed as the club's Sporting Director, after he had been previously fired by Lisbon-basedSporting CP.With a largely unchanged squad from their previous season in the second division, Servette achieved very impressive results in the first half of the season, including victories overFC Zurich,BSC Young Boys,Neuchatel Xamax,FC Lucerne,local rivalsFC Lausanne-Sportand a 4–0 away win over arch-rivalsFC Sion.[7]Despite achieving overall impressive results in the first half of the season, managerJoão Alveswas fired, and was replaced by his compatriotJoão Pereira,[8]to the disappointment of many of Servette's supporters.
In December 2011, reports surfaced that Servette was unable to pay players' salaries, in addition to other expenses. In January 2012, one of the club's star performers and leading goalscorers,Matías Vitkieviez,was sold to Young Boys for only 150,000 CHF.[9]In February 2012, Servette filed for bankruptcy a second time. On 12 March 2012, chairman Majid Pishyar sold the club to a consortium headed byHugh Quennec,president of the city's hockey club,Genève-Servette HC.The club was initially given one month to secure the funding necessary to come out of bankruptcy proceedings, and was successful in doing so. Pishyar remained as "honorary president" through the end of the 2011–12 season.[10]
In April 2012, the decision was made to reinstate managerJoão Alves,who had achieved promotion and impressive results in the first half of the season, and to fire his replacementJoão Pereira,[11]who had failed to improve the club's results. Alves' return immediately led to improved results, and the club finished the season's final five matches with four wins and one draw.[7]This included a 2–1 victory overFC Baselon the final day of the season, which ended a run of 17 consecutive losses against FC Basel dating back to 2001, as well as ending Basel's 26 match unbeaten streak.[12]The victory also meant that Servette secured fourth place in their first season back in Switzerland's top flight, granting Servette entry into the second round of qualifying for the2012–13 UEFA Europa League.The season ended with further good news, as on 24 May 2012, theSwiss Football Leaguegranted Servette its license for the 2012–13 season,[13]thus marking the end of Servette's financial worries for the time being.
Servette announced that it would be preparing for the 2012–13 season with friendly matches againstThun,Shakhtar Donetsk,Yverdon-Sport,Étoile Carouge,Lausanne-SportandPorto.[14]In the transfer market, Servette soldStéphane NaterandCarlos Saleiro,whileIshmael YarteyandRoderick Mirandawere recalled toBenficafrom their loan spells. Servette bolstered its ranks by signingGeoffrey Tréand,[15]Alexandre Pasche,[16]Christopher Mfuyi,[17]Kevin Gissi,[18]Simone Grippo,[19]Mike Gomes,[20]andSamir Ramizi.[21]Servette also brought inGenséric Kusunga,[22]Steven Lang,[23]andKelvinon loan for the season.
On 12 July 2012, it was confirmed that Servette would faceGandzasar FCin the second round of qualifying for the2012–13 UEFA Europa League.The club won the tie 5–1, progressing to faceRosenborg BKin the third qualifier round, against whom they were eliminated on away goals. Servette's league campaign, meanwhile, went poorly, and the club was relegated (for sporting reasons) for the first time in its 113-year history in May 2013, following a 3–0 away defeat by relegation rivalsFC Lausanne-Sport.[24]
On 14 July 2013, Servette began the 2013–14 season in the Swiss Challenge League with a 2–1 win atFC Wohlen.[25]
After finishing 2nd in the2014–15 Swiss Challenge League,the Swiss Football League refused Servette FC a Challenge League licence meaning that Servette would play in the 1st Promotion League (third tier) during 2015–16.[26]In June 2015 the club held a press conference where it was revealed that Servette FC had new owners – 1890 Foundation – holding 100% of the capital stock of SFC SA.[27]At the same press conference it was declared that 1890 Foundation was a private foundation subject to scrutiny by the public supervisory authority.
While Kevin Cooper stayed on as coach, many players left. On 3 November 2015, Servette FC announced that Kevin Cooper had left the club and William Niederhauser and Thierry Cotting would be temporarily in charge of first team affairs.[28]In January 2016 the club announced thatAnthony Braizathad taken charge of first team affairs.[29]
2018 to present
editIn 2018, Servette hiredAlain Geigeras its manager and achieved promotion back to theSwiss Super Leagueas the 2018–2019 Challenge League champions, with a 15-point lead in front of 2nd rankedFC Aarau.[30]For the first time in more than 15 years, the club has since enjoyed relative stability at the financial, managerial and sport levels, achieving a 4th-place finish in the2019–2020 Super League,a 3rd place in2020–2021,a 6th place in2021–2022and even a 2nd place in2022–2023,giving it for the first time a shot for theChampions League.
On 20 March 2023, Servette announced that the current season would be Geiger's last, withRené Weilerbeing chosen to take over for the2023–2024 season.[31]Weiler led Servette to their firstSwiss Cupfinal since 2001.[32]On 2 June 2024, Servette won thecup finalafter apenalty shoot-outagainstFC Lugano,winning their first title in 23 years.[33]
On 10 June 2024, the club announced a new organizational structure, with Weiler stepping down as head coach and instead taking over as sporting director.[34]He is replaced byThomas Häberlias head coach. Hervé Boch will be the new chairman.
Stadium
editThe home ground of Servette is theStade de Genève.It was inaugurated on 16 March 2003 after three years of construction. The opening match was played between Servette andYoung Boys.With an all-seater capacity of 30,084, the Stade de Genève is the third largest stadium in Switzerland, and hosted three group matches in the2008 European Football Championship.
Servette moved to the Stade de Genève from their old ground, theStade des Charmilles,in 2003. The Charmilles was inaugurated on 28 June 1930, with the first game drawing a crowd of 14,000 on the first match of theCoupe des Nations.The official capacity peaked at 30,000, but a record 40,000 spectators managed to squeeze in for the international game betweenSwitzerlandandFranceon 14 October 1951. Flood lights were installed in 1977 and the stands were entirely covered in 1983. The capacity gradually diminished from the 1980s onward, first to 20,000 in 1985 and then to 9,250 in 1998 when the stadium became an all-seater.
Plans for a new stadium were first launched in 1984, in response to the Charmilles becoming increasingly outdated and run down. A project committee was established in 1992, which proposed to either rebuild the stadium over the course of four years or construct a new stadium elsewhere in Geneva. Meanwhile, with more substantial plans failing to materialize, the poor state of the old stadium became apparent when the main stand, theTribune A,was declared unsafe in 1995 and closed off. A renovation project began the following year, which saw the main stand re-opened and seats eventually being installed throughout the stadium. Servette would secure another Swiss Championship and a Cup trophy while playing at the Charmilles, before construction on the new Stade de Genève finally commenced in 2000. The last match was played on 8 December 2002 in front of a capacity crowd.
