UD Almería suffers a blow with Rubi's departure as coach. The manager will leave the bench after failing to achieve promotion to La Liga.

What happened with the promotion?

UD Almería had the largest budget in Segunda and the best squad, but it was not enough to achieve the goal.

Why is it important for UD Almería?

Rubi's departure marks the end of a cycle for the team. UD Almería faces a summer of changes and is looking for a new coach.
