In the [[1989–90 La Liga]] season, Valencia finished as runners-up to Real Madrid, and thus qualified for the [[UEFA Cup]].

[[Guus Hiddink]] was appointed as head coach in the 1991–92 season, and the club finished fourth in the League and reached the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. In 1992, Valencia officially became a Sporting Limited Company, and retained Hiddink as their coach until 1993.

[[Brazil]]ian coach [[Carlos Alberto Parreira]], fresh from winning the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]] with the [[Brazil national football team|Brazil national team]], became manager at Mestalla in 1994. Parreira immediately signed Spanish goalkeeper [[Andoni Zubizarreta]], [[Russia]]n forward [[Oleg Salenko]], and [[Predrag Mijatović]], but failed to produce results expected of him. He was replaced by new coach [[José Manuel Rielo]]. The club's earlier successes continued to elude it, although it was not short of top coaching staff like [[Luis Aragonés]] and [[Jorge Valdano]], as well as foreign star forwards like Brazilian [[Romário]], [[Claudio López (footballer)|Claudio López]], [[Ariel Ortega]] from Argentina, and [[Adrian Ilie]] from Romania. In the [[1995–96 La Liga]] season, Valencia finished second to [[Atlético Madrid]], being unable to capture the title after a close fought race.

Valencia would struggle for the next two seasons, but the [[1998–99 La Liga]] season would signal the start of one of the club's most successful periods in their history; they lifted their first trophy in nineteen years by winning the [[1998–99 Copa del Rey]] under [[Claudio Ranieri]], and also qualified for the [[UEFA Champions League]].
