# 1976–77 Juventus FC season

The 1976–77 season was Juventus Football Club's 79nd in existence and in the top-flight of Italian football.

## Summary

Before the season began, Juventus made many changes, starting with Giovanni Trapattoni now being manager of the team, and newcomers Roberto Boninsegna and Romeo Benetti replacing Pietro Anastasi and Fabio Capello to reinforce the squad.
It was memorable season for the Bianconeri due to finishing the season as league champions with 51 points, just one point ahead of their crosstown rivals and last season's champions Torino.
Four days before clinching its 17th Serie A trophy, the team won the UEFA Cup, the first European trophy in its history, defeating Basque side Athletic Bilbao in the Final at San Mames.
