Summary
Real Madrid sacked Jupp Heynckes shortly after winning the Champions League in May and hired Jose Antonio Camacho who quit as manager in July. After a failed bid on Nevio Scala the club appointed former Valencia coach Guus Hiddink as its new head coach. Having come fourth in the league and achieving continental success last season, Real Madrid was considered a favorite for the 1998–99 season. There were also new arrivals such as Edgar Pacheco, Robert Jarni and Perica Ognjenović. Despite these transfers, manager Hiddink was sacked in February due to criticizing several players. On 24 February 1999, after failed moves for Fabio Capello and Marcello Lippi, the club eventually re-appointed John Benjamin Toshack as its new head coach, helping the squad to reach a spot for the upcoming UEFA Champions League. In Copa del Rey, the team also suffered an embarrassing semi-final exit after a 2–7 aggregate loss to eventual cup winners Valencia, as well as the Champions League quarter-finals exit against Ukrainian powerhouse Dynamo Kyiv, only winning the Intercontinental Cup that season.
