The 2018-19 campaign was a turbulent, hard-fought season for Tenerife as the Chicharreros ultimately finished 16th in the Segunda División, securing their status well clear of the relegation zone despite constant upheaval. The year was defined by a critical early-season managerial change that saw José Luis Oltra take the reins to stabilize the team. Leading the attack with six crucial goals apiece were Filip Malbašić and Naranjo, whose efforts proved vital in anchoring a side that battled for safety and cemented their place in the second tier of Spanish football.
