The club was founded in 1999 as Associazione Calcio Gallipoli to represent the town of Gallipoli from the
province of Lecce .cite news|url=http://www.weltfussballarchiv.com/Vereinsprofil.php?ID=7625&lang=en|publisher=WeltFussballArchiv.com|title=Gallipoli Calcio|date=24 June 2007] The club quickly rised up theItalian football system, being one of the two who were promoted fromEccellenza 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. Gallipoli then completed it by winning a third consecutive promotion toSerie C1 , and making their absolute debut in the Italian third-highest level in the 2006-07 season, which ended in a mid-table place. FormerSerie A starDario Bonetti was then chosen as new boss for the 2007-08 season; he was however sacked later following disagreements with the board, in spite of impressive performances which gave the team a third place in the table. The club ultimately ended the season in ninth place, well below their initial expectations. Former AS Roma playing heroGiuseppe Giannini was successively appointed as new head coach for Gallipoli's 2008–09 campaign.Current squad
