SSC Napoli returned to Serie A, following a couple of years in Serie B, where the club had rebuilt itself following the disastrous 1997–98 season, when it scored merely 14 points from 34 games.
Napoli was relegated once more, when a win against Fiorentina in the final round proved redundant due to all the other teams involved in the battle (to avoid relegation) also winning their matches; including a shocking win for Lecce against title-chasers Lazio. The investment in several new players came back to haunt Napoli when those players did not perform, causing bankruptcy three years later.
