Every year something happened, and Dep. La Coruna missed promotion, but now he has succeeded and is back with Imanol Idiaquez on the bench.
8 players left, 5 came so far, further reinforcement is needed. He added experience with full-backs Escudero (Valladolid) and Pecharoman (Andorra, ex-Bilbao), brought in midfielder Emfullu (Las Palmas) and bought winger Davo, who was on loan last year, from Eupen. The latest addition is Brazilian goalkeeper Elton from Antalyaspor. He released the experienced Salva Sevilla and Valcarce, while Balenciaga withdrew. He returned from a loan spell at Eibar, where he had a super season, young attacking midfielder Mario Soriano, while Lucas Pérez remains their leader.
They reached the spring but did not drink water, losing 2-0 to Espanyol in the promotion final and having won the first leg at home 1-0.
Change on the bench, with Javier Calleja coming in instead of Luis Carion. He rose to prominence at Villarreal, spent a while at Alaves, and spent about two years at Levante, reaching the promotion final last year.
Oviedo lost important units (Borja Bston, Viti, Bretones, Luismi, Leo Roman), but also got replacements. Romanian forward Parasif (Hermanstadt), winger Hassan (Villarreal, last season's Gijon), midfielder Dotor (Celta), goalkeeper Escandel and full-back Lemos (Las Palmas) arrived, while winger Paulino also stayed. Continuing at the age of 39, Santi Cazorla wants more additions, mainly in midfield.
There is enthusiasm and a good level, but we have to be humble, we come from the 3rddivision. We have a clear idea of what lies ahead, not just tomorrow, but the whole season. I hope we can get into the league in a good way," Imanol Idiaquez said before the first game of the season.
Newcomer left-back Escudero and substitute striker Raul Alcaina are injured. African full-back Iano overcame the discomfort and newcomer goalkeeper Elton joined the squad.
