# 2000–01 AS Roma season

During the 2000-01 season AS Roma competed in Serie A, Coppa Italia and UEFA Cup.

## Summary

In 2001, Associazione Sportiva Roma took its third league title (after 1942 and 1983), winning Serie A only a year after local rivals Lazio. Important signings for the season were Argentines Walter Samuel, a defender, and Gabriel Batistuta, a top striker. Manager Fabio Capello's line-up also included Cafu, Vincent Candela, Emerson, Vincenzo Montella and captain Francesco Totti.
Capello won Serie A once again when on the last matchday Roma defeated Parma 3–1 at home with Totti, Montella and Batistuta scoring.
