The 2018–19 season was Valletta's twenty-fifth title-winning season in the Maltese Premier League. With only four games remaining in the league and Valletta in a vital title race run-in, head coach Danilo Dončić stepped down from his role, citing personal reasons for his resignation. Assistant manager and former club captain Gilbert Agius was soon appointed as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. At the end of the season, Valletta and Hibernians finished off equal on 58 points; in the last matchday, Valletta were only a few minutes away from winning the title as they were leading 1–0 against Ħamrun Spartans, but a goal in stoppage time levelled the match. Hibernians had a convincing 5–1 win over Balzan to force a championship decider to be played between the two. Valletta also won their twelfth Super Cup and finished runners-up in the FA Trophy.
