The multi-sport club SPES Gubbio was founded in 1908. In 1910 SPES Gubbio began its football activity, and the official football sector was established on 25 March 1913. In February 2009, the club made national headlines by hiring 70-year-old
UEFA Cup-winning coach
Luigi Simoni as technical director (due to age limits), with former under-19 team boss
Riccardo Tumiatti being promoted as first team coach. In the season
2010–11 Lega Pro Prima Divisione season the club won promotion to
Serie B after 63 years, under the guidance of
Vincenzo Torrente (as appointed by Simoni himself). However, Gubbio's stay in the second tier of Italian football lasted only one season as they were immediately relegated back to Lega Pro Prima Divisione. ==Colours and stadium==
