The 2008–09 season was Juventus Football Club's 111th in existence and 2nd consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football.

Season review

At various points in the season, Juventus looked as though they could challenge rivals

Roma. Coach Claudio Ranieri, however, seemed to encounter serious problems in motivating his troops with his constant belittling of Juventus' title chances.^[2]

After a club record run of seven consecutive league games without a win in April and May, Ranieri was sacked in only his second season at Juventus. This barren run of results also included a 2–1 loss at home to

AC Milan

(based on head-to-head record) after the Rossoneri failed to take advantage of Juve's winless streak and lost 3–2 away at Roma.

In

Real Madrid both home and away. Alessandro Del Piero, who scored a brace at the Santiago Bernabéu

just four days before celebrating his 34th birthday, earned himself a standing ovation from the notoriously hostile Madrid crowd.

The knockout stages were much less rejoicing for the Bianconeri. They were knocked out by English club Chelsea who had just changed their manager. Despite battling with ten men in the second leg, Juventus drew the game 2–2, meaning they were eliminated after the 1–0 loss in London.

On 5 June 2009, it was confirmed that Ferrara had been appointed as the full-time manager on a two-year contract.^[3]
