History[edit]
PFC Sochi was founded on 6 June 2018 after the relocation of FC Dynamo Saint Petersburg to Sochi,
thus becoming the only professional football club in the city.[1][2][3][4][5]
On 11 May 2019, the club secured a top-two finish in the 2018–19 Russian National Football
League and subsequently promotion to the Russian Premier League for the 2019–20 season for the first
time in the club's history.[6]
On 20 November 2019, Sochi announced that Aleksandr Tochilin had resigned as manager,
with Roman Berezovsky being placed in temporary charge.[7] On 8 December 2019, Sochi
announced Vladimir Fedotov as their new permanent manager on a 2 1⁄2-year contract.[8]
On 19 June 2020, Sochi beat FC Rostov 10-1, making it their biggest Premier League win in their
history. Rostov missed their full first and second squad (42 players) due to positive COVID-19 tests in
both squads.
Sochi managed to finish in twelfth place in their debut season in the top tier, avoiding relegation.
