R. Charleroi S.C. — Season snapshot (around 1995/96)

• Club name: Royal Charleroi Sporting Club (commonly Charleroi)
• Country: Belgium
• Manager / Head coach (around 1995–96): Luka Peruzović
• Era context:
  • Mid-1990s Belgian club competing in the Belgian First Division (now Belgian Pro League).
  • Luka Peruzović, a former Yugoslavian/Croatian defender and experienced coach, had managerial spells in Belgium during the 1990s; he brought defensive organization and experience from his playing career (notably Hajduk Split and Real Zaragoza) into his coaching.
  • Charleroi in this period were a mid-to-lower table First Division side, often fighting to remain in the top flight rather than contending for titles.
• Typical squad/playing style notes (mid-1990s):
  • Squads of Belgian provincial clubs then were a mix of Belgian domestic players and a handful of foreign signings (Eastern European and African players becoming more common).
  • Formation and tactics under Peruzović tended toward pragmatic, defensively organized setups, focusing on compactness and counter-attacks rather than expansive possession football.
• Home stadium: Stade du Pays de Charleroi (known later as Stade de la Déesse); the club moved to that modern stadium later (opened 1999), so in 1995/96 they played at their older ground in Charleroi.
• Notable competitions: Belgian First Division fixtures and domestic cup (Belgian Cup). European competition appearances were uncommon for Charleroi in this era.
• Historical significance: The mid-1990s were part of Charleroi's long history of fluctuating between top-flight survival and relegation battles; coaches like Peruzović were brought in for experience and stability.
