Summary edit
1997–98 was to be the first full season in charge for Brazilian coach Carlos Alberto Silva, who had taken over from John Toshack following the Welshman's resignation in February.[4][5] Silva had a strong start, guiding Deportivo to 3rd in La Liga by the end of the season, and earning them a return to European competition after a year away by qualifying for the 1997–98 UEFA Cup. Their first round opponents were Auxerre, but a 2–1 defeat at Estadio Riazor[6] followed by a goalless draw in France saw Depor eliminated before the end of September.[7]
Deportivo were also far from convincing in La Liga, and a 3–1 home defeat by Real Valladolid on 15th October left them 15th in the table, with just one win from their first six matches.[8] Silva was sacked, and replaced by José Manuel Corral until the end of the season.[9] Corral improved the club's league form slightly, but they were only able to finish the season a disappointing 12th, their lowest placing since 1991–92. They did reach the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, but were defeated 3–1 on aggregate by Segunda División side Deportivo Alavés.[10]
Corral made way at the end of the season for Javier Irureta,[11] paving the way for the most successful period of the club's history. Irureta would lead them to their first top flight title only two seasons later.
