Perugia competed in Serie A and Coppa Italia. They completed the season unbeaten, but did not win the league title. Summary A.C. Perugia was the first team during the round-robin era to go through the season undefeated, although due to their 19 drawn matches, they finished second in the league. The campaign is remembered for Perugia’s undefeated season. The club completed the season without a loss, a first in top-level Italian football. The phrase "Never loses, but does not win" has been used to describe Perugia's season, reflecting that their unbeaten record did not translate into the league title.https://thesefootballtimes.co/2018/07/25/perugia-and-the-undefeated-season-of-miracles/ Gary Thacker Perugia and the undefeated season of miracles 25 July 2018 thesefootballtimes.co With just six games of the season remaining, the unlikely title challengers sat just two points behind leaders Milan and still had to host the Rossoneri after gaining a 1–1 draw away earlier in the campaign. A win could have ensured that Perugia put themselves in pole position in the run-in. However, the game finished 1–1, with Gianfranco Casarsa's spot kick cancelling out Stefano Chiodi's penalty for Milan minutes earlier. This result meant that the title was Milan's to lose. Despite disappointing draws away to Catanzaro and Hellas Verona in the weeks that followed, Perugia were still in with a chance of final day success providing that Milan lost and Perugia picked up the win away to Bologna. Although Salvatore Bagni's brace put the visitors ahead and Bologna rallied and fought back to a 2–2 draw. This result ended Perugia's title challenge, though they finished the season undefeated.http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2012/05/great-calcio-sides-perugia-1978-79/ Great Calcio Sides :Perugia forzaitalianfootball.com 9 May 2012 P.Whelan Squad Panini, 1978, pp. 50-51 y y ITA Marcello Grassi GK y ITA Nello Malizia GK y ITA Franco Mancini GK y ITA Antonio Ceccarini DF y ITA Paolo Dall'Oro DF y ITA Mauro Della Martira DF y ITA Pierluigi Frosio DF(Captain) y ITA Michele Nappi DF y ITA Daniele Tacconi DF y ITA Luciano Zecchini DF y y ITA Salvatore Bagni MF y ITA Cesare Butti MF y ITA Paolo Dal Fiume MF y ITA Mario Goretti MF y ITA Giorgio Redeghieri MF y ITA Franco Vannini MF y ITA Marco Cacciatori FW y ITA Gianfranco Casarsa FW y ITA Walter Speggiorin FW Transfers Panini 1977 8 Presenze e reti Italian.Panini 1978 8 Presenze e reti Italian.
