# 1995–96 CD Tenerife season

## Summary

During summer the club board sacked Vicente Cantatore after a disappointing season that included relegation issues and appointed Eintracht Frankfurt German head coach Jupp Heynckes who managed Athletic Bilbao in 1992–94. Arrivals included Yugoslav midfielder Slavisa Jokanovic from Real Oviedo after a failed bid by Atletico Madrid's new trainer Radomir Antic, Pavel Hapal and defender Alexis Suarez.
