Summary

During summer the club board sacked Vicente Cantatore^[1] after a disappointing season that included relegation issues and appointed Eintracht Frankfurt German head coach Jupp Heynckes^[2] who managed Athletic Bilbao in 1992–94. Arrivals included Yugoslav midfielder Slavisa Jokanovic from Real Oviedo after a failed bid by Atletico Madrid's new trainer Radomir Antic,^[3] Pavel Hapal and defender Alexis Suarez. On the contrary, several players left the club: midfielders Diego Latorre, Jose del Solar, Percy Olivares and left-back Paqui. The squad delivered a decent league season finishing in 5th position enough to clinch a 1995-96 UEFA Cup spot ahead of Real Madrid and Real Betis.

Meanwhile, in Copa del Rey the team defeated incumbent champions and heavy favourites Deportivo La Coruña in Eightfinals and reached the quarterfinals only to be defeated 0–3 in two legs by upcoming champions Atletico Madrid.

Also, Argentinian Striker Juan Antonio Pizzi^[4] won the Pichichi Trophy after scored 31 league goals.
