1998–99 U.C. Sampdoria season

U.C. Sampdoria completed its fall from grace by being relegated to Serie B, just eight years after its league title in 1990-91. Similarly to Napoli the year before, the club was no longer a financial power when it came to signing players, and its star player Ariel Ortega did not deliver to the degree Sampdoria had hoped for.
