Overview
Claude Andrey was again the club's manager, but due to a poor start to the season, he lost his job in October. Karl Engel was appointed as new trainer, following Oldrich Svab who had taken over on an interim basis. The club's priority aim was to remain in the top flight of Swiss football. The club made some new signings as the season started, these included Ike Shorunmu (Nigerian national team goalkeeper), Gabriel Okolosi, Alex Nyarko, David Orlando (from Sion) and Hakan Yakin who had been signed from local club Concordia Basel. The season started well but between the sixth and sixteenth round Basel suffered eight defeats in 11 games before catching themselves and qualifying for the championship round. In the 22 games, Basel won nine, drew three and suffered ten defeats, scoring just 23 goals conceding 29. In the championship round Basel did not record a victory until the ninth round, but they finished the season in sixth position and thus qualified for the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup. In the league they managed just three victories, four draws and suffered seven defeats, with just eleven goals for and 20 conceded.
In the Swiss Cup Basel advanced to the quarter-finals, defeating the lower tier clubs Subingen, Gossau and Biel-Bienne. In the quarter-final they travelled to la Maladière in Neuchâtel, but were knocked out of the cup by Xamax. In the 1995 UEFA Intertoto Cup Basel managed a home win against Sheffield Wednesday and an away win in Poland against Górnik Zabrze. But the other two games ended with defeats, at home against the Karlsruher SC and an away game against Aarhus GF.
