Promotion to Serie B in 1966 would mark the beginning of one of the club's most successful periods. Perugia spent the next eight years in Serie B before promotion to Serie A for the first time in 1975.
In the club's first Serie A season, Perugia finished 8th with 31 points- just short of a European place. Star players in the side included defender Pierluigi Frosio and midfielders Renato Curi and Franco Vannini. The side remained in the top half of the table for the rest of the decade, finishing runners-up in 1979 with 11 wins and 19 draws- the only unbeaten side not to win a title. However, tragedy and scandal marred this period- in 1977, Curi died of a heart attack during a league match with Juventus, while Vannini's career was ended by injury in 1979. The Totonero scandal in 1980 led to a 5-point penalty and relegation in 1981. Totonero 1980 or Totonero was a scandal of match fixing in Italy in 1980 in Italian Serie A and Serie B. Illario Castagner was coach during this period.
The club spent the first half of the 80s trying to get back to Serie A, nearly succeeding in 1985 with an 11-26-1 record. Another scandal in 1986 forced Perugia down to Serie C2. It was during this time that Fabrizio Ravanelli would be discovered, he would later go on to a career with Reggiana, Juventus, Middlesbrough and several other clubs before returning to Perugia. Fabrizio Ravanelli (born December 11, 1968) is a former Italian football player

Nevio Scala (born November 22, 1947) is an Italian football coach and former player The side's form slumped alarmingly before a late rally gave them a chance of survival- a 2-1 defeat at Piacenza in the final round sealed their fate. With Castagner back in charge, Perugia won a play-off with Torino to secure a return to the top flight.
The next six seasons saw Perugia hold their own in Serie A with an array of home-grown and foreign stars passing through the ranks, most notably Hidetoshi Nakata and Milan Rapaić. Hidetoshi Nakata (中田 英寿 Nakata Hidetoshi; born January 22, 1977 in Yamanashi Prefecture) is a Japanese former football Milan "Miki" Rapaić (born 16 August 1973 in Nova Gradiška) is a Croatian Football (soccer Midfielder who is
