Associazione Sportiva Roma won the Coppa Italia and reached the final of the UEFA Cup, which compensated for Ottavio Bianchi's problematic league season, where Roma finished a mere 9th place, their worst season since 1979.

Contents

In the UEFA Cup, Roma reached the two-legged final, where Inter won at home by 2–0, a result which a Ruggiero Rizzitelli goal in the return leg could not cancel out. Instead, a 3–1 win at home and a draw at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris against Sampdoria secured the 1990–91 Coppa Italia, the club's seventh Coppa Italia.

The 1990-91 season saw Sampdoria win the Serie A title for the first time in their history, finishing five points ahead of second placed Milan. Third placed Internazionale were victorious in the UEFA Cup, with ninth-placed Roma compensating for their sub-standard league season with glory in the Coppa Italia, while Juventus's seventh-placed finish meant that they would be without European action for the first season in three decades. Lecce, Pisa, Cesena and Bologna were all relegated.

S.S. Lazio finished in fifth in Serie A and reached the quarter-final in the Coppa Italia. Prior to the season had Lazio with new Chairman Sergio Cragnotti made three important signings, with Paul Gascoigne, Giuseppe Signori and Aron Winter all joining the club.

Associazione Sportiva Roma continued to trundle in the bigger clubs' wake, being unable to challenge for any trophies, and missing out on European qualification. New president Franco Sensi had won the battle to get the vacancy against Luciano Gaucci, who departed the club in a customary fit of rage. Sensi appointed Carlo Mazzone as coach, but the defensive-minded Mazzone did not have an easy baptism at Roma, the squad drawing 15 out of 34 matches in the league, which rendered missing out on Napoli's sixth place that guaranteed the UEFA Cup by a solitary point.

Associazione Sportiva Roma did not repeat its Coppa Italia victory from the previous season, but retained its status as the top team from the Capital with fifth in the league standings. Roma's main struggle was its inability to seal matches by a close margin, drawing on 14 occasions, and it neither had a watertight defence, nor a fearsome attack. Despite those shortcomings, Roma was only three points behind Torino for third.

A.S. Roma dropped off the pace of the top teams during the 1986–87 season, which ended Sven-Göran Eriksson's first Italian employment prematurely. From being the top scoring team in the season before, Roma struggled with finding the back of the net, resulting in worsened results.

A.S. Roma returned to prominence with a 3rd place in Serie A under returning coach Nils Liedholm. With new signings such as Rudi Völler and Lionello Manfredonia, Roma was able to qualify for international football once again, with playmaker Giuseppe Giannini arguably playing at his very peak, setting a career record 11 league goals from attacking midfield.

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.

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.

The 1990–91 season was Parma Associazione Calcio's 78th in Italian football and their first ever season in the Serie A. It was Nevio Scala's second year at the club, as Parma achieved promotion the previous season, by finishing in fourth place. In their first season, they finished in sixth place, before securing a UEFA Cup spot. In the Coppa Italia, they were eliminated 2–0 on aggregate by Fiorentina in the second round, after two legs. Alberto Di Chiara, who went on to join the club the same season, and Stefano Borgonovo scored the goals.
