Unione Sportiva Triestina is an Italian football club based in Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The club was formed in 1918 and currently plays in Italian Serie B, having returned there in 2002 after 11 seasons in Serie C and Serie D. Its last Serie A stint ended in 1958. The team's colors are red and white.
Famous coach Nereo Rocco, a native of Trieste, was a former player and manager for Triestina from the 1930s to the 1950s.
In the 2005/2006 season, Triestina has changed five times its manager. The list include the tandem Alessandro Calori-Adriano Buffoni, Pietro Vierchowod, caretaker Francesco De Falco, youth team coach Vittorio Russo and Andrea Agostinelli.
In addition, Triestina's owner Flaviano Tonellotto was forced to resign on February 1 by the magistrature because of a pending condemnation for bankruptcy, and his wife Jeannine Koevoets was named to replace him at the helm of the club. However, Tonellotto was successively forced to leave the team by the magistrature because of financial troubles. The magistrature named Francesco De Falco as caretaker chairman with the goal to find for somebody interested to buy the club. Curiously, in the 2005/2006 De Falco, an old-times player for Triestina, covered three different roles in the club: director of football, manager and now chairman.
