After a tremendous eighth place in 2008-09, Malaga CF are definitely a club to watch out for in 2009-10.
Under the able presidency of ex-Real Madrid player Fernando Sanz, Los Boquerones were last season's surprise team.
López Muñiz doesn't have any star players to call upon but has the base of a solid side under the captaincy of goalkeeper Francesc Arnau.
La Rosaleda Stadium dates back to before the Spanish Civil War, but the football team has had a number of name changes over the years.
Although CD Málaga can be traced back to 1948, the current Malaga CF incarnation wasn't founded until 1994.
The club history has been blighted by financial insolvency but the rise of the Costa del Sol as a tourist destination and an increasingly solid - often
foreign - fan base mean that Malaga CF can be optimistic about the future.
