The 2013–14 Segunda División season (known as the Liga Adelante for sponsorship reasons[1]) was the 83rd since its establishment. The season started on 17 August 2013 and the league phase of 42 rounds ended on 8 June 2014. The entire season ended on 22 June 2014 with the promotion play-off finals.[2]

Teams

Promotion and relegation (pre-season)

A total of 22 teams contested the league, including 15 sides from the 2012–13 season, four promoted from the 2012–13 Segunda División B and three relegated from the 2012–13 La Liga.

RCD Mallorca, Deportivo de La Coruña and Real Zaragoza were the teams relegated from La Liga the previous season. Mallorca was relegated after sixteen years in La Liga, the longest period in its history and ending their golden era, Zaragoza returned to the Segunda División after a four-year tenure in La Liga, while Deportivo de La Coruña made an immediate return to the Segunda División after being promoted the previous year. All three teams were relegated in the last matchday.[3] Elche CF was promoted the previous season to La Liga after 14 consecutive seasons in the Segunda División.[4] Villarreal made an immediate return to La Liga[5] after a win over Almería in the decisive match of the last matchday where the winner would be directly promoted to La Liga.[6] Almería was promoted on 22 June 2013 as winner of play-off games after two years of absence in La Liga.[7]

The teams which had been relegated from the Segunda División the previous season were Guadalajara, Racing Santander, Huesca and Xerez. Xerez was relegated after twelve years in the division some weeks before the end of season.[8] On 2 June 2013, after the penultimate matchday, Racing, Huesca and Murcia were relegated after Mirandés' win, however on 4 June 2013 LaLiga relegated Guadalajara[9] and the three teams had their last opportunity to stay in Segunda División in the last matchday.[10] Finally, Huesca was relegated after five years in the second level, while Racing de Santander returned to the third level after twenty years and nineteen of them in La Liga.[11] Murcia was the team saved from the relegation after the administrative relegation of Guadalajara.[12]

The four teams relegated were replaced by four Segunda División B teams: Deportivo Alavés (group 2 champions and overall champions) and CD Tenerife (group 1 champions and overall runners-up), both from the champions play-offs and two from the third round play-offs: Eibar and Jaén. Alavés and Tenerife returned to the second level respectively after 4 and 2 years,[13] while Eibar and Jaén returned to the second level respectively after 4 and 11 years.[14][15]

Guadalajara case

Guadalajara was relegated to Segunda División B administratively after irregularities detected in the capital increase made the previous summer for conversion to a

LFP[17] and the relegated or saved team was disputed between Guadalajara and Murcia until Spanish sports jurisdictional body, the CEDD (part of CSD), would make a resolution.[18] CEDD ruled refusing the precautionary suspension of Guadalajara relegation, whereby Murcia remained in Segunda.[19]
