U.C. Sampdoria came nowhere to defending its inaugural Serie A title from 1990-91, but was extremely close to an ever bigger honour, only losing out on extra time to Barcelona in the European Cup final. The end result was 1-0 to the Spaniards, thanks to Ronald Koeman's free kick.

In the league, Sampdoria finished tied for sixth with Parma. Due to Sampdoria's failure to secure European football, championship-winning coach Vujadin Boškov left his job.
