A.C. Parma suffered a major setback in the 2001-02 season, after selling two of its three key ingredients in defence prior to the season. Goalkeeper and former youth-team product Gianluigi Buffon, and French International Lilian Thuram both departed for Juventus. Parma narrowly avoided relegation following a strong conclusion to the season, and also won the Coppa Italia, beating Juventus 1-0 at home, before losing 1-2 away from home, but winning on the away goals rule.
