Season Overview

The 1997-98 season was a turbulent but successful one, with Ruud Gullit being replaced as manager by Gianluca Vialli in February 1998. Under Vialli, Chelsea secured a 4th place finish in the Premier League and won both the League Cup and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. The following 1998-99 season saw a strong title challenge, ultimately ending in a 3rd place finish and qualification for their first ever UEFA Champions League campaign, capping the season with a UEFA Super Cup victory over Real Madrid.

Key Players

This era boasted a legendary squad of international stars. Key players included Italian maestro Gianfranco Zola, player-manager Gianluca Vialli, and fellow countryman Roberto Di Matteo. The side was bolstered by talents like Gus Poyet, Dennis Wise, Tore André Flo, and French World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf.
