Chairman Luciano Gaucci Serie A 15th Coppa Italia Quarter Finals		Manager Serse Cosmi UEFA Cup Last 16 Intertoto Cup Winners

A.C. Perugia were relegated from Serie A with a bang, following a chaotic season, in which president Luciano Gaucci managed to upset the Italian football society, by claiming that the referees' deliberatily was trying to relegate Perugia to Serie B. Prior to the season, he performed a PR-stunt, when signing Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's son Al-Saadi Gaddafi He also continued trying to sign female players, trying to sign both Hanna Ljungberg and Victoria Svensson, according to Swedish daily Aftonbladet.

In the same paper, Ancona goalkeeper Magnus Hedman accused his team mates for throwing away the final match of the season, in which Perugia won 1-0. That victory qualified Perugia for the relegation playoffs against Fiorentina, where Enrico Fantini scored in both matches for Fiorentina, ensuring Perugia was being relegated, only one year before the club folded.

The list of players representing the club during the season included 35 players, which meant the team drastically changed from game to game.
