Bruce Rioch took over as Arsenal manager in June 1995, tasked with revitalizing a team that had finished 12th in the previous Premier League season. Coming from Bolton Wanderers, where he achieved promotion to the Premier League and defeated Arsenal in the FA Cup, Rioch aimed to implement a more attacking style with new signings like David Platt and Dennis Bergkamp, the latter setting a club-record transfer fee.

Arsenal started strongly but struggled after a loss in the North London Derby, winning only three of the next twelve league games and exiting both the FA Cup and League Cup disappointingly. Despite these setbacks, Rioch steadied the team, guiding them to a 5th-place finish and UEFA Cup qualification. The season showed defensive improvement and positive attendance figures, indicating progress.

However, conflicts arose between Rioch and key players like Ian Wright, leading to unrest. Disagreements over transfer policies with vice-chairman David Dein further strained relations, resulting in Rioch's abrupt dismissal just before the start of the next season, ending his tenure as the shortest for an Arsenal manager in over a century.
