Despite having won the Portuguese title the previous season Benfica's coach Toni was replaced by the bigger name of Artur Jorge. This was a season of major changes in the playing squad with two major stars in Rui Costa and Stefan Schwarz moving on.
Arrivals included Paulo Bento and the Belgium international keeper Michael Preud'homme, plus the loan acquisitions of forwards Edilson and Claudio Caniggia. This pair had fine seasons with 33 League goals between them, but Benfica's mixed League campaign saw them end in a distant third place, leaving a run to a Quarter-Finals of the Champions League as the season highlight.
