Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata — around the 1995/96 season

Club: Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata (commonly "Gimnasia" or "El Lobo")

Coach: Carlos Timoteo Griguol — veteran Argentine manager noted for disciplined, well-organized teams and successful earlier spells (most famously with Ferro Carril Oeste). Griguol led Gimnasia in the mid-1990s and emphasized physical preparation, defensive organization and set-piece work.

Home stadium: Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo (El Bosque), La Plata.

Competitions (season context):

• Argentine Primera División — the 1995/96 period was played as Apertura (second half of 1995) and Clausura (first half of 1996) tournaments.
• No major continental competition involvement for Gimnasia in that immediate season (the club’s primary focus was the domestic league).

Notable personnel and players (era highlights):

• Guillermo Barros Schelotto — one of the best-known players in Gimnasia’s squad during the mid‑1990s; an important attacking presence who later moved to Boca Juniors in 1997 and enjoyed a high-profile career.
• Carlos Griguol’s squads typically featured a core of experienced, physically strong players suited to his tactical approach; the club relied on youth from La Plata and a mix of domestic signings.

General performance and character of the team:

• During the mid‑1990s Gimnasia under Griguol tended to be competitive in the Primera División, aiming for stability and solid mid‑table finishes while developing local talent.
• The team was recognized for organization, defensive discipline and effectiveness on set pieces — hallmarks of Griguol’s coaching style.

Legacy: The Griguol era helped consolidate Gimnasia’s identity in the 1990s, fostered talents such as Guillermo Barros Schelotto, and left a reputation for toughness and tactical order that is still remembered by the club’s supporters.
