For most of the 2008-09 season, it looked like Deportivo de la Coruña would be back in Europe for the first time in nearly a decade.
President Lendoiro and Coach Lotina will be disappointed with the seventh position that leaves Depor just outside European places.
But there's the core of a very strong side at Riazor and Valerón, Filipe Luis, Mista and most of the side will continue this season.
The Blues can be optimistic about 2009-10 but at the moment it's unlikely that they scale to the dizzy heights they reached in the Nineties.
That's when Depor were SuperDepor.
A steady Lendoiro guided a series of excellent coaches and built a great side.
SuperDepor got their just reward in 2000 when they joined the select group of clubs proclaimed Liga Champions.
Riazor would be happy to see its boys in Europe again so expect a competitive Depor for 2009-10.
