The 1994–95 Sporting de Gijón season was the 33rd season of the club in La Liga, the 19th consecutive after its last promotion.

Overview

Sporting avoided the relegation by defeating UE Lleida in the double-legged relegation playoffs. In the second match, Real Sporting won 3–2 and El Molinón registered the highest attendance for a Sporting match.^[1]

Things were better in Copa del Rey, where Sporting reached the semifinals, but finally was eliminated by eventual champions Deportivo de La Coruña.

Managerial changes

Mariano García Remón started the season but was sacked after losing 4–0 against Real Madrid. Carlos García Cuervo replaced him until the round 37. Ricardo Rezza was signed for only playing the last round and the relegation playoffs. As the club passed successfully the series, Rezza continued at the helm of the club the next season.

^ ^a ^b On July 31, 1995, Sevilla and Celta Vigo were relegated to Segunda División B for not providing documentation (an audit) nor making their payments to the Royal Spanish Football Federation within the time limit. The two best qualified teams to be relegated, Albacete and Valladolid were readmitted to La Liga. Later, Sevilla and Celta Vigo claimed that according to the law^[2] they had another 15 working days because they made allegations days before. Finally, the solution^[3] was to not relegate any involved team and expand the league to 22 teams for the next two seasons.
