1995–96 was the 34th season in the history of SD Compostela, and their second in
La Liga.
Season summary
Compostela began their second season in the top flight by searching for a new manager, as
Fernando Castro Santos, who had been with the club since their
Tercera División days, left to join fellow
Galician club
Celta Vigo.[2] He was replaced by
Lugo manager
Fernando Vázquez, who led Compos to the best league result in their history in his first season: they finished the season in a highly respectable 10th place. They also reached the last 16 of the
Copa del Rey before being beaten 3–1 on aggregate by
Sevilla,[3] which was also their best performance in that competition up to that point. They would eventually better in by reaching the quarter-finals in
1999–2000.
