History
Deportivo De La Coruna have fallen on difficult times over the last 10 years and now find themselves in the third tier of Spanish football. Its a big fall for a team that won LaLiga 22 years ago and were a regular team in the top 3 the following 4 years. They even managed to reach the Semi-Final of the Champions League in 2004 before losing to Porto who were managed by Jose Mourinho. In 2010 we saw the clubs first relegation from LaLiga before becoming a yoyo club. The club then managed 4 years in LaLiga before their final fall from grace before ending up all the way down in the third tier.
So why have I picked Deportivo?
As mentioned above they were once a great team who has fallen on hard times and the club deserves so much more. Can we bring back the glory days of competing against Real Madrid and Barcelona. Can we get back to a Champions League Semi-Final and try and go one further to claim a European title that the club deserves. Its going to be exciting as we get the journey underway but more importantly we all know that I love a challenge and this is certainly a big one
