In the 1995-96 S.S.C. Napoli season, the club finished in the lower midfield of the table, once again missing out on the international competitions. Goalscoring was at a premium, but the tight defence led by Latin Americans Roberto Ayala and André Cruz, ensured that Napoli did not go close to relegation. Goalkeeper Giuseppe Taglialatela also strengthened his reputation with a solid season.
