Manager Jupp Heynckes Copa del Rey Fourth round | La Liga 8th UEFA Cup Semi-final | |
Season summary
Tenerife failed to improve on the previous season's fifth-place finish, although they made up for the league disappointment by reaching the UEFA Cup semi-finals. Tenerife scored 69 goals in the league and could have possibly finished higher were it not for their leaky defence, which conceded more goals than all but five of the La Liga teams not relegated during the season.
