1998–99 Udinese Calcio season

August 2017 Udinese Calcio 1998–99 Giampaolo Pozzo Francesco Guidolin Serie A 6th Márcio Amoroso (22) Coppa Italia Quarter-finals 1997–98 1999–2000 Udinese Calcio faded slightly compared to its record-breaking 1997–98 season, in which it finished third in Serie A. With top scorer Oliver Bierhoff, midfielder Thomas Helveg, and coach Alberto Zaccheroni all departing for Milan, Udinese appeared to be on the back foot prior to the start of the season. Márcio Amoroso proved to be a worthy replacement for Bierhoff, scoring 22 goals after taking on increased responsibility. With this performance, Amoroso became the top scorer himself before departing for Parma, which paid a substantial sum for him. The highlight of Udinese's season was qualifying for the 1999–2000 UEFA Cup, which was secured in a playoff against Juventus, as both clubs were tied on points for sixth place. Thanks to a goalless draw at home and Paolo Poggi's equalizer in Turin, Udinese clinched sixth place and the UEFA Cup slot.
