That's a relief!

It was such a relief to avoid the drop! In the 2018/19 season, Almería finally took a breather and after three consecutive campaigns struggling to avoid relegation until the last minute, this time Almeria even dreamed of having been able to play the play-off for promotion to First division. At times, the team was close to gaining promotion, but it could not be. It was a high-flying season, in which the Rojiblancos did not struggle at all and it was very much enjoyed with a committed, humble, hard-working and ambitious squad. The club changed its approaches and entered a new philosophy when planning its squad.
