The 2018-19 campaign delivered a fierce promotion challenge for Deportivo as Depor, under the late-season guidance of José Luis Martí, finished 6th in the Segunda División to secure a vital play-off spot. Leading the charge was the prolific forward Quique, whose 16 league goals spearheaded the attack and fueled a record 13-match unbeaten run that anchored their consistency. It was a dramatic year of renewed hope that saw the club push for a return to the top flight, marking a defining chapter in the history of Riazor's faithful.
