1978–79 Juventus FC season

During the 1978-79 season Juventus competed in Serie A, Coppa Italia and European Cup.

Summary
During the summer, Bearzot appointed his Blocco-Juve for the 1978 FIFA World Cup, therefore Dino Zoff, Scirea, Gentile, Cabrini, Cuccureddu, Benetti, Tardelli, Causio and Bettega, arrived with a surplus of matches for the 1978-79 campaign. The incumbent league champion was out of the title race in early stages against A.C. Milan of Liedholm and the undefeated Perugia of Castagner.

In his seventh year as Chairman, Boniperti made only one transfer to the squad, as the defender Brio's loan from Pistoiese ended, with his replacement being Morini. Meanwhile, manager Trapattoni closed his third season in the club with a disappointing third place in the league with the only positive result coming on 25 March 1979 by defeating local rivals Torino F.C. after having not beaten their city rivals for five straight years. The squad was eliminated in the first round of the European Cup by Glasgow Rangers, after losing 2-0 at Hampden Park

The club closed the season clinching its sixth Coppa Italia ever after winning the Final against Palermo F.C. in Naples, thereby qualifying for the 1979-80 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
