The 1998–99 season was Juventus Football Club's 101st in existence and 97th consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football.

Season summary

Juventus endured their worst domestic season since 1990–91, with superstar Alessandro Del Piero picking up a serious knee injury in the final minutes of a 2–2 draw with Udinese[2] on 8 November 1998. France's World Cup hero Zinedine Zidane was left with a big task to step up in Del Piero’s absence, a task he miserably failed. In an interview with L’equipe he described that season as «could not put one foot in front of the other». And he emphasized that it came as a result of him being too relaxed after having won the world cup.[3]

Unlike the preceding four seasons, under the guidance of Marcello Lippi, Juventus' attack malfunctioned. In December 1998, Lippi announced his intention to depart the following June to manage Inter. In February Lippi was let go by the club, with successful former Parma coach Carlo Ancelotti taking over.

With Ancelotti at the helm, Juve managed to salvage a little respectability by reaching the semi-finals of the

Stadio delle Alpi
in the second-leg of the semi-final.

Following that Champions League semi-final defeat, Juve's season ended poorly by their high standards, finishing a lowly seventh in

UEFA Cup
the next season.
