RC Lens — around the 1995/96 season

You mentioned "Patrice Bergues" as coach. I cannot confirm any reliable record of a Patrice Bergues serving as RC Lens's first‑team head coach in the mid‑1990s. It is possible that this name refers to a youth/reserve coach, a backroom staff member, or an error in transcription. The club’s widely documented figures from that era include:

• Club: Racing Club de Lens (RC Lens)
• Stadium: Stade Félix‑Bollaert
• Colours / nickname: "Sang et Or" (red and gold)
• Club president (1990s): Gervais Martel (longtime president during the 1990s)
• Competition level (1995/96): RC Lens competed in the French top flight (Division 1, now Ligue 1)

For precise verification of coaching staff and personnel for the 1995/96 season (head coach, assistants, reserve/youth coaches such as any Patrice Bergues), consult contemporary and authoritative sources such as:

• L'Équipe archives (season reports and matchday pages)
• RSSSF (Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation) — French Division 1 season pages
• worldfootball.net and footballdatabase.eu — season-by-season club pages
• Transfermarkt — historical squad/staff lists and transfer records
• Local French press archives (e.g., Nord Éclair) for club staff notices

If you would like, I can compile a detailed dossier for the 1995/96 RC Lens season (first‑team squad, match results, league position, and documented staff listings) using those standard historical sources and highlight any appearances of the name Patrice Bergues in staff lists. Provide the exact scope you want (squad, staff, results, transfers) and I will assemble it accordingly.
