Guarani Futebol Clube — overview (mid-1990s, around 1995/96)

• Club: Guarani Futebol Clube (Campinas, São Paulo). Founded 1911; nicknamed "Bugre". Home ground: Estádio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa.
• Competitions: In 1995–1996 Guarani competed in the usual calendar for São Paulo clubs — the Campeonato Paulista (state championship) and the national Campeonato Brasileiro (the Série A / Série B status could vary year to year depending on promotion/relegation and federation format changes).
• Historical context: Guarani were the only interior club to win the Brazilian championship (1978). In the 1990s the club oscillated between national divisions and focused on developing or showcasing attacking talents who later moved to bigger clubs or abroad.

Coach: "Pepe" (around 1995/96)

• The team is recorded in several sources as being coached by someone known as "Pepe" in the mid‑1990s. "Pepe" is a common nickname in Brazilian football and can refer to different people (the most famous Pepe is José Macia, a former Santos player who later had coaching spells).
• Because of that ambiguity, contemporary records (match reports, club bulletins, press from 1995–96) are the best way to confirm which "Pepe" was in charge for specific competitions or matches in that season.

Notable players and development in the period

• Guarani in the mid‑90s served as a springboard for several players who later made moves to larger Brazilian clubs or abroad. Squad lists for specific competitions (Paulista vs. Brasileiro) can differ.

Where to confirm exact details (squad, coach full name, match lists for 1995/96)

• RSSSF Brasil — extensive historical tables and lineups for Campeonato Brasileiro and Campeonato Paulista.
• Futebol Nacional / OGol — player and match databases with season rosters and matchday lineups.
• Archived newspapers and sports magazines from São Paulo (1995–1996) — match reports typically list coach and starting XI.
• Guarani official channels and club histories (published books or the club museum / archives) — definitive source for club staff lists and season reviews.

If you need more specific data — for example, complete 1995 or 1996 squad lists, match results, or confirmation of the coach’s full name and tenure — I can fetch season-by-season rosters and match records from the databases above and present them in a compact list.
