During the 1998–99 English football season, Bristol City F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary

The Robins struggled back in Division One, and manager John Ward stepped down in October 1998 after chairman Davidson appointed Benny Lennartsson as a coach for the rest of the season, which infuriated the supporters.[1] They were relegated by finishing at the bottom of the league, where Lennartsson was sacked and replaced by Gillingham's Tony Pulis.[2]
