The 2003-04 campaign was a triumphant, historic season for Levante, delivering their long-awaited return to the top flight of Spanish football as Segunda División champions after nearly four decades. Under the masterful guidance of manager Manuel Preciado, Los Granotas surged to the title, securing promotion on the final matchday with a dramatic victory over Xerez CD. Leading the charge was the prolific Argentine striker Gustavo Reggi, whose 12 league goals were vital, while Alberto Rivera's 13 goals across all competitions, including the decisive penalty on the day of promotion, sealed their champion status. It was a golden year of consistency, capped by a memorable run to the Copa del Rey Round of 16, that remains a legendary chapter in the club's history.
