Season

Following the surprising promotion in Serie A, occurred on 3 June 2001[1], Chievo was widely expected to be immediately relegated to B.[1] However, the club surpassed expectations making the most profit from his 4–4–2 formation: the main roles were acted by Eriberto and Christian Manfredini, who played like offensive wingers.[2] Chievo lead Serie A table for six weeks during the autumnal months, achieving notable wins and matches.[3]

In the second part of season, the form dropped off a bit but the side almost qualified for the Champions League: the fifth place collected lead - in the end - to the qualification for UEFA Cup.[4]
