During the 1998–99 Italian football season, F.C. Internazionale Milano competed in Serie A.

Season summary

Inter continued its increasingly frustrating run without the league title, which was extended to ten years following a chaotic season. Coach Luigi Simoni was fired when the side did not perform to the expected level, and the season saw a further three coaches trying to tame Inter without any success. Despite the chaos, the side managed to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where it lost to eventual champions Manchester United.

Another worry was the injury problems affecting star striker Ronaldo, who only played in 19 of the 34 league matches (although in those 19 games he scored 14 goals).

After the season, Inter signed Christian Vieri from Lazio for a world-record transfer fee of £32 million to help out with the goalscoring, while successful ex-Juventus coach Marcello Lippi was appointed in the hope he could end Inter's title drought.
