A historical descends

Deportivo has completed its descent into Second Division B, non-professional category, forty years later, for the results of other matches. The two markers that did not serve Deportivo to stay alive were given, the victories of Albacete and Lugo, and the team that trains Fernando Vázquez and that did not depend on himself, abandons professional football in a very strange way.

After having linked three defeats, the A Coruña team appeared on the last day without depending on themselves to save themselves and everything went against them without even competing.

Deportivo had been in professional football continuously since 1981 after having last been in the Second Division B in the 1980/81 season. The Blue and Whites rose to silver in that year, rose to First in 1991 and experienced the best stage in their history.

In it, they won six official titles, one League, two King’s Cups and three Spanish Super Cups, in addition to playing five consecutive seasons in the Champions League.

After twenty years in the eliteThey fell in 2011, rose the following year, fell again in 2013 and rose again to the first in 2014.

After four seasons in the top flight, Deportivo dropped in 2018, last year he let out the promotion in the last game of the playoff, in which he squandered a 2-0 that he had harvested in his field, and this course, in which he started with the aim of fighting again to climb, has dropped to Second B.

It has been a very negative year for the people of A Coruña, who were bottom at the end of the first round and later resurrected by Fernando Vázquez, who managed to take them out of the descent until the collapse of the last games, which sent them to the bronze category.
