The club name ''Taishan'' derives from [[Mount Tai]].

The club's predecessor was called Shandong Provincial team which was founded on 10 April 1956, while the current professional football team was established on 2 December 1993. They were one of the founding members of the first fully professional top-tier football league in China. Since then, they have gone on to win their first league title in the [[Chinese Jia-A League 1999|1999 league season]]. They have continued to win domestic silverware with the 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2021 league titles, making them one of the most successful football clubs in China.

According to ''[[Forbes]]'', Shandong is the 5th most valuable football team in China, with a team value of $126&nbsp;million, and an estimated revenue of $24&nbsp;million in 2015.<ref>{{cite web|title=Chinese Soccer's Most Valuable Teams|url=https://www.forbes.com/pictures/gkle45fmd/5-shandong-luneng-taish/#17b8a1dd23eb|work=Forbes|access-date=14 August 2016|archive-date=15 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160915161308/http://www.forbes.com/pictures/gkle45fmd/5-shandong-luneng-taish/#17b8a1dd23eb|url-status=live}}</ref> In that year, [[Beijing Guoan]], [[Guangzhou Evergrande]] and Shandong Luneng Taishan were the only Chinese sports clubs with at least 5 million followers on Weibo.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://mobile.ytsports.cn/news-963.html | title=Man Utd and Man City are the most followed clubs on Weibo in China | access-date=2022-08-10 | archive-date=2022-08-10 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810123454/http://mobile.ytsports.cn/news-963.html | url-status=live }}</ref>

==History==

===Early club era===
The club was founded on 10 April 1956 as '''Shandong Provincial''' team by the local [[Shandong Province]] government, to participate in the recently established and expanding Chinese football league, where the team originally named themselves Shandong Provincial team. Shandong took part in the 1957 league season, where they started within the second tier and finished bottom within the group stages.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinahist.html|title=China 1957|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=5 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110405172628/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/chinahist.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The following season saw an improvement from the team, finishing third within their group, however participation within the league became sporadic as the management decided to concentrate the team's efforts on the multi-sport event [[National Games of China|Chinese National Games]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinahist.html|title=China 1958|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=5 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110405172628/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/chinahist.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Participating within the 1965 Chinese National Games, the club ultimately finished ninth within the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinahist.html|title=China 1965|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=5 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110405172628/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/chinahist.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The following season, any attempt to return to the league was halted for several seasons due to the [[Chinese Cultural Revolution]].

When the league started back up again in 1973, Shandong were allowed to be included in the top tier and finished ninth at the end of the campaign.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinahist.html|title=China 1973|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=5 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110405172628/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/chinahist.html|url-status=live}}</ref> As the seasons progressed, they established themselves as regulars within the league, however the management still wished to compete within the Chinese National Games and entered a team in the 1979 tournament which they won, beating Beijing 3–1 in the final.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinahist.html|title=China 1979|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=5 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110405172628/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/chinahist.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The success of that tournament acted as a springboard for the team, and Shandong finish as runners-up of the 1981 and 1982 league campaigns.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinahist.html|title=China 1982|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=5 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110405172628/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/chinahist.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The momentum Shandong showed at the start of the decade quickly faded, and by the end of the decade they had experienced their first-ever relegation, finishing in the bottom positions for the 1989 league season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinahist.html|title=China 1989|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=5 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110405172628/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/chinahist.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Unfortunately for Shandong, they were once again relegated the following season and sent down to the third tier.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china90.html|title=China 1990|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=20 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111020121934/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/china90.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

The club's time within the third division did not last very long, and they immediately won the division title and promotion at the end of the 1991 league season.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china91.html|title=China 1991|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=30 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221130140404/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china91.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The following campaign saw the [[Chinese Football Association]] decide to make Chinese football fully professional, and this seemed to spur on the club, as they came third within the division and guaranteed promotion to the first fully professional top-tier league, the [[Chinese Jia-A League 1994|1994 Chinese Jia-A League]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china92.html|title=China 1992|date=22 October 2009|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=12 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812060340/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china92.html|url-status=live}}</ref> On 2 December 1993, Shandong football club became fully professional, gathered sponsorship and changed their name to '''Shandong Taishan Football Club'''. On 29 January 1994, [[Jinan City]], the city government sponsored and participated in the club's management, changing its name to '''Shandong Jinan Taishan Football Club''' to accommodate this.

===Turning into a professional club===
Shandong would be one of the founding teams to participate within the inaugural fully professional 1994 Chinese Jia-A League season; however, the owners quickly ran into financial problems with the improved player wages and added costs of running a professional club, which saw players often paid late.<ref>{{cite web|title=济南 历史相信偶然的奇迹--话说山东足球 |url=http://sports.sina.com.cn/r/2003-12-15/1209699443.shtml球 |publisher=sports.sina.com.cn |date=15 December 2003 |access-date=5 November 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170729051816/http://sports.sina.com.cn/r/2003-12-15/1209699443.shtml |archive-date=29 July 2017 |df=dmy }}</ref> The lack of funds also saw the club unable to sign any foreign imports, making them one of the few teams in the league without any foreign players within their roster. To add to the club's problems, several veterans who established the club within the league such as [[Wang Dongning]] and [[Leng Bo]] left the team at the end of the season. On 3 April 1995, the club changed its name to '''Jinan Taishan Football Club''' to accommodate their sponsors, however their financial problems still remained the same and they were unable to bring any new players into the squad. Despite this, manager [[Yin Tiesheng]] promoted from within, with players such as [[Li Xiaopeng (footballer)|Li Xiaopeng]] and [[Liu Yue (footballer, born 1975)|Liu Yue]] given a chance. However, it was the emergence of strikers [[Su Maozhen]] and Tang Xiaocheng which impressed the club's supporters the most, especially once Shandong defeated the recently crowned league champions [[Shanghai Greenland Shenhua F.C.|Shanghai Greenland Shenhua]] in the 1995 [[Chinese FA Cup]] held in [[Nanjing]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinacup95.html|title=China 1995&nbsp;– FA Cup|date=6 December 1999|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=5 November 2014|archive-date=12 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812052334/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinacup95.html|url-status=live}}</ref> After the victory, Shandong General Tobacco (Group) Co., Ltd. became interested in the club and, on 2 March 1996, took control of the team, investing 6.5 million [[Chinese yuan|yuan]] into the club. With the continued investment from the Jinan City government as well, the club was on a sure financial footing, and with Su Maozhen becoming the league's top goal scorer and the team reaching another cup final again in 1996, things looked to have improved for the team, despite losing the final to [[Beijing Guoan F.C.|Beijing Guoan]] 4–1 in [[Beijing]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinacup96.html|title=China 1996&nbsp;– FA Cup|date=5 June 2003|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=7 November 2014|archive-date=12 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812061046/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/chinacup96.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===First foreign head coach===
On 4 December 1997, the club held a consultation with the Shandong Electric Power Group Corporation and, on 5 January 1998, Shandong Electric Power Group Corporation became the majority shareholders of the club and changed the club's name to '''Shandong Luneng Football Club'''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sdsport.org/luneng/jianjie/2012-11-12/25782.html|title=山东鲁能泰山足球俱乐部介绍|publisher=sdsport.org|date=12 November 2012|access-date=7 November 2014|archive-date=7 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141107184112/http://www.sdsport.org/luneng/jianjie/2012-11-12/25782.html|url-status=live}}</ref> While the Jinan City government still had significant shareholdings within the club, the new majority shareholders decided that the team needed a new direction and brought in the club's first ever foreign coach in [[Kim Jung-Nam]] at the beginning of the [[Chinese Jia-A League 1998|1998 league season]], after Yin Tiesheng wasn't able to improve upon the previous season's results.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sdsport.org/luneng/jianjie/2012-11-12/25785.html|title=鲁能泰山足球俱乐部股东信息|publisher=sdsport.org|date=12 November 2012|access-date=7 November 2014|archive-date=7 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141107185523/http://www.sdsport.org/luneng/jianjie/2012-11-12/25785.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Kim came into Shandong with a reputation of having led [[South Korea national football team|South Korea]] into the [[1986 FIFA World Cup]], their first World Cup in over 32 years. He dramatically changed the team's style of play and emphasized attacking football, and new signing [[Deng Lejun]] from Beijing Guo'an thrived on this, scoring seven goals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sodasoccer.com/search/player/12/23841/B91D6A59C6A121F9.shtml|title=邓乐军|publisher=sodasoccer.com|access-date=7 November 2014|archive-date=7 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141107190418/http://www.sodasoccer.com/search/player/12/23841/B91D6A59C6A121F9.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> Kim's style, however, didn't bring the team many wins, and he resigned later in the season, while Yin Tiesheng returned to manage the team away from relegation.

===First league title===
On 25 December 1998, former [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia national team]] head coach [[Slobodan Santrač]] joined Shandong as their new manager for the start of the [[Chinese Jia-A League 1999|1999 league season]]. With key foreign signings in Yugoslavian goalkeeper [[Saša Petrović (footballer)|Saša Petrović]], striker [[Luis Romero (Uruguayan footballer)|Luis Romero]] combining with now established Chinese international Su Maozhen along with the emergence of Li Xiaopeng, Shandong had the backbone of a team that surprised many to go on to the final day of the season and defeat [[Chongqing Lifan F.C.|Chongqing Longxin]] 5–0 to claim their first ever league title.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cnsoccer.titan24.com/2010-10-27/85690.html|title=回顾鲁能4次捧杯时刻:99神奇加冕 06之师一骑绝尘|publisher=cnsoccer.titan24.com|date=27 October 2010|access-date=9 November 2014|archive-date=10 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141110211339/http://cnsoccer.titan24.com/2010-10-27/85690.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Several days later, the club would achieve their first ever domestic cup double when they beat [[Dalian Shide F.C.|Dalian Wanda]] 4–3 on aggregate to clinch the [[1999 Chinese FA Cup]], which resulted in Santrač personally being awarded the Chinese 'Coach of the Year' award.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/clubs/club=1884139/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141110220920/http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/clubs/club=1884139/|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 10, 2014|title=Clubs&nbsp;– Shandong Luneng|publisher=fifa.com|access-date=9 November 2014}}</ref> The 1999 FA Cup victory would unfortunately be tainted by controversy when, on 18 February 2013, it was confirmed by the Chinese police that former Chinese football association Head of refereeing, Zhang Jianqiang was paid 400,000 Yuan by the club to select the referees for their fixtures in the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.163.com/13/0221/11/8O828C1M00051C89.html#p=8M3AS1AN0B6P0005|title=鲁能申花险些降级！张剑力主却遭反对无奈放弃|publisher=sports.163.com|date=21 February 2013|access-date=9 November 2014|archive-date=10 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141110223119/http://sports.163.com/13/0221/11/8O828C1M00051C89.html#p=8M3AS1AN0B6P0005|url-status=live}}</ref> Shandong would later be fined one million Yuan by the Chinese football association for this transgression.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/sports/2013-02/18/c_132176506.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130302022651/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/sports/2013-02/18/c_132176506.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 2, 2013|title=China bans former soccer chiefs for life, slaps heavy fines on clubs|publisher=news.xinhuanet.com|date=18 February 2013|access-date=9 November 2014}}</ref>

For the start of the [[Chinese Jia-A League 2000|2000 league season]], Paraguayan striker [[Casiano Delvalle]] and midfielder [[Charles Wittl]] were brought in to replace the exiting Luis Romero.

===Dong Gang===
In preparation for the [[Chinese Jia-A League 2001|2001 season]], speculations grew. [[Croatia]]n [[Miroslav Blažević]] was rumoured to become the new head coach for the club's first team.

On 7 January 2004, Serbian [[Ljubiša Tumbaković]] was brought in as head coach for the rebranded [[2004 Chinese Super League]] and, with the signing of Chinese international striker [[Li Jinyu]] along with the emergence of [[Han Peng (footballer, born 1983)|Han Peng]], the club were able to win the [[2004 Chinese FA Cup]] by beating [[Sichuan First City]] in the final.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china04.html|title=China 2004|date=7 April 2005|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=11 November 2014|archive-date=29 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120929192436/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/china04.html|url-status=live}}</ref> With the continued investment coming from the signing of another Chinese international in [[Zheng Zhi]], Shandong looked to provide a better showing in the club's second outing in the [[2005 AFC Champions League]], where they reached the quarter-finals before being humbled by eventual winners [[Ittihad FC|Al Ittihad]] of Saudi Arabia with a 8–3 aggregate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/ascup05.html|title=Champions' League 2005|date=19 March 2006|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=11 November 2014|archive-date=26 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200926162025/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/ascup05.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The capitulation against Al-Ittihad, which saw Tumbakovic and players [[Zheng Zhi]] as well as [[Predrag Pažin]] sent off for abusive and violent conduct, would ultimately affect the team's performance within the league, and see them lose the [[2005 Chinese Super League|2005 league]] title, eventually finishing in third pllace.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china05.html|title=China 2005|date=26 October 2006|website=[[RSSSF]]|access-date=11 November 2014|archive-date=23 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220923210426/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china05.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

On 22 December 2013, Shandong Luneng announced that Brazilian former footballer [[Cuca (footballer)|Cuca]] would become the new coach of the team. In 2013, Shandong was eliminated in the [[2013 AFC Champions League|AFC Champions League]] group stage and finished fourth in the [[Chinese Super League]]. On 22 November 2014, [[Ryan McGowan]]'s last-gasp header helped the team defeat [[Jiangsu Suning F.C.|Jiangsu Sainty]] and win the Chinese FA Cup in dramatic fashion, entering next year's Champions League. In 2015, Cuca's team failed to qualify from the group stage of the [[2015 AFC Champions League]] again, but finished third in the domestic league, earning the chance to participate in the [[2016 AFC Champions League]] qualification stage.

===Mano Menezes and Felix Magath===
In December 2015, former [[Brazil national football team|Brazil national team]] manager [[Mano Menezes]] became Shandong's new head coach, assisted by [[Li Xiaopeng (footballer)|Li Xiaopeng]].

On 21 April 2016, with a 1–0 victory over Japanese side [[Sanfrecce Hiroshima]], Shandong returned to the Round of 16 in the [[2016 AFC Champions League]] after an 11-year absence where the club finished as group runners-up below Korean club [[FC Seoul]]. On 25 May, they defeated Australian club [[Sydney FC]] on away goal rules with an aggregate of 3–3 to reach the Quarter-finals. However, bad results in the domestic league led to Menezes' resignation on 7 June 2016. [[Felix Magath]] was appointed the next day.
