Summary
The club sold Argentine midfielder Leo Rodriguez to Universidad de Chile and young star striker Maurizio Ganz to Inter Milan,[1] meanwhile bought Sandro Tovalieri from Bari and Christian Vieri[2] from Torino to balance the offensive line. Additionally, central back José Oscar Herrera arrived from Cagliari Calcio and young midfielder Tomas Locatelli moved to AC Milan.
The club reached as high as third in the table in December with four consecutive wins. After that though, the club lost six matches, sending the club down the table to the relegation zone. The club secured safety from relegation during the final rounds. Striker Christian Vieri and attacking midfielder Domenico Morfeo[3] both scored 22 goals during the season.
In the Coppa Italia, the squad reached the final for the first time in nine years. Along the way, Atalanta defeated Cremonese, Juventus by a goal from Fabio Gallo, Cagliari in the quarter-finals and Bologna in the semi-finals. They lost the two-legged final against Fiorentina by an aggregate score of 3–0.[4]
