The 1995–96 Tigres UANL season is the 36th season in the football club's history and the 29th consecutive season in the top flight of Mexican football.

Summary

In summertime, Manuel Silos in his 4th year as Chairman of the Club's Executive Board and also Dean of the University of Nuevo Leon brought sports agent Guillermo Lara as unofficial club consultant in a desperate effort to rescue the team from its first relegation ever. Thanks to Lara, two times (1991-92 and 1993-94) league Champion manager Victor Manuel Vucetich was appointed as new head coach after being discarded by Silos in 1993.^[1] Also, Lara reinforced the squad with several transfers in: Goalkeepers Robert Dante Siboldi (Puebla) and Miguel de Jesús Fuentes (Atlas), Defenders Alfredo Murguía (León), Marcos Ayala (Toluca), Arnulfo Tinoco (Toluca) and Francisco Javier “Flaco” Gómez (Morelia), Midfielders Omar Arellano (Chivas) and José Manuel “Chepo” De la Torre (Chivas) and Argentine Forward Martin Felix Ubaldi (Atlas).^[2] However, the club had four failed bids: Juan Carlos Chávez (Atlas), Osmar Donizete (Tecos), Eric Wynalda and Ivo Basay all of them explicit petitions by manager Vucetich.^[3]

However, the chaos from the last season reached the 94-95 term, after 20 rounds Silos sacked Vieira and appointed Carlos de los Cobos not being enough to improve the squad performance. Finally, the club finished in a 18th spot with only 24 points being its worst season ever and with serious relegation problems for the next year.^[4]
