Peñarol — context around the 1995/96 period

Peñarol is one of Uruguay’s two giant clubs, based in Montevideo. Around the mid‑1990s the club competed in the Uruguayan Primera División and periodically in the Copa Libertadores and other continental competitions. Home matches in that era were commonly played in Montevideo (including fixtures at the Estadio Centenario).

About “Pedro Damiani” and coaching

• Pedro (José Pedro) Damiani is best known as a Peñarol club executive and president at different times rather than as a head coach. There is no reliable record that he served as Peñarol’s first‑team coach in the 1995/96 season.
• If you are referring to a different individual with a similar name who acted as coach, that may explain the confusion; in that case please confirm the exact name or role so I can clarify historical records.
