Udinese Calcio had its best season since the days of Zico in the club during the 1980s. With goal scoring trio Oliver Bierhoff Márcio Amoroso and Paolo Poggi on top form Udinese finished fifth even troubling the top three in the standings. Bierhoff and Poggi scored 13 goals each while Amoroso hit the back of the net on 12 occasions. Despite the sensational results coach Alberto Zaccheroni remained at the small club while 1997–98 looked set to become a further improvement for Udinese.
