S.S.C. Napoli once again struggled to reach the levels it had achieved previously , but still finished sixth in Serie A, which ended up with coach Marcello Lippi joining Juventus. Financial woes caused Napoli to sell its two prominent foreign players, Jonas Thern and Daniel Fonseca to Roma following the season's end.[citation needed]Skipper Ciro Ferrara also left, in his case for Juventus.[citation needed]
