Club: Club Atlético Independiente

Country: Argentina

Approximate season: 1995/96

• Head coach: Miguel Ángel López
• Context: Miguel Ángel López (often referred to as "Tolo" López), a former Argentine player turned manager, had a coaching spell at Independiente in the mid-1990s. The 1995/96 league campaign in Argentina was run as two short tournaments (Apertura and Clausura), the format used in that era.
• Notable players (typical Independiente squad members around mid-1990s):
  • Claudio López (forward) – emerging star who would soon move to Europe
  • Germán Denis (forward) – beginning his professional career in the mid‑90s (played later at other clubs as well)
  • Héctor “Bambino” Veira – not a player for Independiente but a contemporary coach in Argentine football (included for context of the era)
  • Various domestic professionals forming the squad; exact 1995/96 roster details require match-by-match roster lists or official club records.
• Competitions: Independiente participated in the Argentine Primera División (Apertura and Clausura tournaments). They also would have been eligible for national cups or continental competitions depending on prior season standings, though Independiente’s major continental successes were earlier (Copa Libertadores titles in prior decades).
• Performance notes: The mid-1990s were transitional years for many Argentine clubs with player sales to Europe common (e.g., Claudio López transferred to Valencia in 1997). Independiente’s exact league positions in Apertura and Clausura 1995/96 can be retrieved from historical league tables for precise placement and results.
