1989–90 Serie A 88th season of top-tier Italian football

The 1989–90 Serie A season was another successful year for Napoli, with Diego Maradona being among the leading goalscorers in Serie A, behind Marco van Basten of Milan and Roberto Baggio of Fiorentina. But while Baggio's Fiorentina narrowly avoided relegation, Maradona's Napoli won their second Serie A title in four seasons, while Van Basten helped Milan retain the European Cup as compensation for their failure to win the Serie A title, having finished two points behind Napoli. Demoted to Serie B for 1990–91 were Udinese, Hellas Verona, Cremonese and Ascoli. In Europe, Sampdoria won the Cup Winners Cup and Juventus the UEFA Cup, making this year the most successful in Italian football history.

1988–89 Serie A 87th season of top-tier Italian football

The 1988–89 Serie A was won by Internazionale, who won the title comfortably by an 11-point margin over runners-up Napoli. Milan's triumph in the European Cup meant Italy would be entering two teams – both the two giant Milan sides – into the European Cup for the 1989–90 season. Relegated to Serie B were Torino, Pescara, Pisa and Como.

S.S. Lazio returned to Serie A this season, finishing 10th and reaching the quarter final of the Coppa Italia.

U.C. Sampdoria won its second cup trophy in just three years, defeating Torino in the final, thanks to a 3-2 aggregate victory. Gianluca Vialli scored ten goals to become club top scorer, as Sampdoria finished fourth in the domestic league.

U.C. Sampdoria had its most successful season ever, winning the Coppa Italia and reaching the final of the Cup Winners' Cup, where it came up short to Barcelona with 2–0. It finished fifth in Serie A with 14 goals from Gianluca Vialli marking the international breakthrough for the striker.

S.S.C. Napoli won an international trophy for the first time, defeating Stuttgart 2-1 and drawing 3-3 in the two-legged final. Napoli did not match Inter in the domestic league, but recorded a second place, its fourth consecutive podium finish in the final standings.

Juventus F.C. finished in 4th place in Serie A and participated in the Coppa Italia.

A.C. Milan won the European Cup thanks to a 4–0 victory against Steaua București, with Dutch duo Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten scoring twice each. It did not defend its Serie A title however, finishing 3rd in the standings. Milan also won the first Supercoppa Italiana, beating Sampdoria in the inaugural contest.

Associazione Sportiva Roma finished 7th in Serie A, dropping four places from the season before, even firing coach Nils Liedholm for just a few weeks. It also crashed out of the UEFA Cup against comparatively minnows Dynamo Dresden in the Last 16.

A.C. Milan won their second consecutive European Cup, thanks to a final victory over Benfica. The Dutch trio of Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard was now a firmly established unit, but their efforts were not quite enough to defeat Napoli in the title chase.

U.C. Sampdoria won their first ever European trophy, thanks to a Cup Winners' Cup final victory against Anderlecht, thanks to two extra time goals from star striker Gianluca Vialli.

Associazione Sportiva Roma had a rather average season, but finished solidly inside the top half of Serie A with a sixth place. German striker Rudi Völler had his best season at Roma, scoring 14 league goals, whilst Stefano Desideri hit 10 goals. The greatest success of Roma's season was the Primavera team winning the national championship.

Juventus finished in 4th place in the league this season, but won the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Cup.

Juventus Football Club had their least successful season since finishing 12th in the Serie A back in 1961–62. This time, under Luigi Maifredi's coaching, Juventus finished 7th, despite breaking the World record in terms of transfer fee, to bring in Fiorentina star striker Roberto Baggio. Being long involved in the Scudetto race, Juventus lost the plot in the second half of the season, barely winning a match in a ten-game spell, which caused the side to drop down to the upper midfield.

2014–15 Coppa Italia Football tournament season

The 2014–15 Coppa Italia, also known as TIM Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the 68th edition of the national cup in Italian football. Napoli were the defending champions, having won the previous year's final, but were eliminated in the semi-finals by Lazio. Juventus emerged victorious with a 2–1 win in extra time, achieving a record tenth title.

2016–17 Coppa Italia Football tournament season

The 2016–17 Coppa Italia, also known as TIM Cup for sponsorship reasons, was the 70th edition of the national cup in Italian football. Juventus successfully defended its title by defeating Lazio 2–0 in the final, becoming the first team to win the trophy in three consecutive years.

The 1990–91 season was the 91st season in the existence of S.S. Lazio and the club's third consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football. In addition to the domestic league, Lazio participated in this season's edition of the Coppa Italia.
