In May 1991, Sampdoria have been crowned Champions of Italy for the first time in their history and, when the transfer season starts, the Big striped clubs are trying to be creative to be back on top.
Juventus (without Europe for the first time since 1962-63) recall Trapattoni from Inter and the fans respond with enthusiasm (30,000 season tickets, a club record) - Antonio Conte joins in the winter transfer window. Inter live a turbulent season on and off the pitch (out against Boavista in the Uefa Cup, only 28 goals scored in the league, fans vent their anger at the club). Arrigo Sacchi leaves Milan to lead Italy who in turn can't qualify for Euro '92. In comes Fabio Capello to lead the likes of Marco Van Basten and Ruud Gullit to an undefeated season for the Rossoneri (as Carlo Ancelotti hangs his boots). Napoli, led by Claudio Ranieri and Gianfranco Zola, start their new life after Diego Maradona. Lazio have to wait for Paul Gasoigne. In other transfers, Oliver Bierhoff joins Ascoli, David Platt goes to Bari and Dragan Stojkovic signs for Hellas Verona. All while Zdenek Zeman's Foggia entertain, Sampdoria and Torino reach two European finals against Barcelona and Ajax, and Genoa win at Anfield.
