Deportivo 2012–13 Season

The second consecutive relegation. Deportivo de La Coruña finished bottom of La Liga in 2012–13 — their third relegation from the top flight since 2010. The pattern of yo-yo promotion and relegation was becoming increasingly damaging, both financially and in terms of squad planning.

The season highlighted the fundamental challenges facing Deportivo in the modern game: unable to generate the revenue required to compete, unable to attract or retain the quality players needed for survival, and unable to break the cycle without structural change. The famous nights of the Super Dépor era felt further away than ever.
