Season summary

Juventus endured its worst domestic season since 1990–91, superstar Alessandro Del Piero on 8 November 1998, picked up a serious knee injury in the final minutes of a 2–2 draw with Udinese;[2] and a backlash for France's World Cup hero Zinedine Zidane.After winning the World Cup with France last July Zidane promptly injured a knee and in November brought another injury.[3] Contrary to the previous four seasons under the guidance of Marcello Lippi, Juventus' offense malfunctioned. In December, Lippi announced his departure in June to manage Inter the next season and 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 some respectability by reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, then, playmaker Zidane limped off at half-time in Juventus's draw at home to Bologna on 12 April 1999 ending his campaign, just before the second leg against eventual champions Manchester United defeating Juventus 3-2 at Delle Alpi.

The knee has been troubling him for a month where eventual champions Manchester United just got the better of the Italian champions. But following that narrow defeat, Juventus had to settle for the UEFA Cup the next season, due to a lowly seventh place in the league.
