Stuart McCall (caretaker 8–20 November) Jim Jefferies (from 20 November) (1 May 2001, Premier League) (25 Sep 2000, League Cup) During the 2000–01 English football season, Bradford City competed in the Premier League. It was their second consecutive season in England's top flight, having retained their FA Premier League status on the last day of the previous season.

Season summary

The Bantams produced a promising start to the new season with a narrow 1–0 defeat at Anfield to Liverpool followed by a brilliant 2–0 home win over Chelsea in the first two games. However, that was as good as it got for the club and an overall-terrible start to the season saw inexperienced young manager Chris Hutchings dismissed after 12 games at the helm. In came Jim Jefferies as his successor, but Jefferies could do little to alter Bradford's dismal fortunes and they went down in bottom place with just five FA Premier League wins all season.

Bradford City made their first ever foray into European competition, competing in the UEFA Intertoto Cup. They reached the semi-finals before being knocked out by Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg.

Kit

Bradford City retained the previous season's kit, manufactured by Japanese company ASICS and sponsored by Bradford-based car dealership JCT600.
