The 1989âÂÂ90 UEFA Cup was the 19th season of the UEFA Cup, the secondary club football competition organised by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). The final was played over two legs at the Stadio Comunale Vittorio Pozzo, Turin, Italy, and at the Stadio Partenio, Avellino, Italy. The competition was won by Juventus, who defeated fellow Italian team Fiorentina by an aggregate result of 3âÂÂ1 to claim their second UEFA Cup title.
This was the first final between two Italian sides in the UEFA competitions history and the third between two clubs of the same country. This was the fifth and final season in which all English clubs were banned from European football competitions
A total of 65 teams from 31 UEFA member associations participated in the 1988âÂÂ89 UEFA Cup. 63 teams entered from the first round, competing over six knock-out rounds, while two other teams competed in a preliminary round.
The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
Due to the ongoing English ban, their first berth was allocated to association 9, gaining a third berth. As two associations were tied for 10th place in the UEFA rankings, both of them qualified a third team for a preliminary round, whose winner would take the remaining English berth in the first round.
For the 1989âÂÂ90 UEFA Cup, the associations are allocated places according to their 1988 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1983âÂÂ84 to 1987âÂÂ88.
