Deportivo 2005–06 Season

The decline continued in 2005–06 as Deportivo de La Coruña struggled to compete with a La Liga increasingly dominated by the financial power of Real Madrid and Barcelona. The squad’s quality had diminished significantly from the title-winning peak, and managerial change reflected the uncertainty of the transition period.

A mid-table finish kept Deportivo in the top flight, but the European nights were becoming a distant memory. The crowd at Riazor — still passionate and loyal — watched a team that was no longer capable of competing with the elite clubs that had once been regularly beaten in Galicia.
