Season summary
Giuseppe Materazzi was signed as manager, but was sacked after only a few months, following a shock 3–0 defeat to Viking in the UEFA Cup. He was replaced by Augusto Inácio, who was unable to reverse Sporting's fortunes on the continent but still guided them to the title and the domestic cup final.
