History
Origins
The club can trace its history back to 1904 with the formation of Málaga Foot-Ball Club. 1912 saw the arrival of a rival club FC Malagueño.
In 1927 the former club became Real Málaga FC after they were granted royal patronage by Alfonso XIII. During the 1929-30 season both of these clubs became founder members of the Tercera División. In late 1930 Real Málaga FC were reformed as Málaga Sports Club.
Club Merging in 1933
In 1933 Málaga SC and FC Malagueño merged to become Club Deportivo Malacitano and in 1934 this new club made its debut in the Segunda División when the division was expanded from ten teams to twenty four.
After various seasons in Segunda División, with the competition interrupted because of the Spanish Civil War, in 1941 this club changed their name to Club Deportivo Málaga.
First promotion to La Liga in 1949 and first years in La Liga
In 1949, Málaga promoted for the fist time to La Liga after several seasons in Segunda División and even a couple in Third División.
With chairman Miguel Navarro Nogueroles and coach Luís Urquiri, the club managed to promote in the last play of the 1948-49 season, in second possition after leader Real Sociedad, and thanks to positive goal difference with Granada CF, which stayed in Segunda División. Notable striker Pedro Bazán, who had previously scored 9 goals in a sole match against Hércules CF, was the maximum goal scorer and also one of the most important players of this team.
In this first run in La Liga, Málaga stayed two consecutive seasons in the maximum division of Spanish football, with notable former player Ricardo Zamora as coach of the team, and until the first relegation of the club to Segunda División at the end of 1950-51 season, lacking just but one point for having successfully continued in La Liga.
In the subsequent seasons, Málaga achieved two new promotions to La Liga in seasons 1951-52 and 1953-54, only to being relegated again to Segunda División at the end of seasons 1952-53 and 1954-55, with just one single season of stay in the maximum division in both of these promotions. The 1952-53 season, though, was notable because of a resounding 6-0 thrashing of Real Madrid at La Rosaleda, the major result up to date of Málaga against this club.
The golden years in the early 1970's
After several new fleeting promotions to La Liga in the 1960's, which turned out in immediate relegations to Segunda División after just one or two years in La Liga, Málaga promoted once again to La Liga in 1969-70 under the command of chairman Antonio Rodríguez López and coach Jenő Kálmár, to start a five-years stay in La Liga. This was one of the longer stays of the club in the top division of Spanish football. However, president in charge Antonio Rodríguez López was brutally murdered because of Mafia issues in the year 1971, and was replaced by Rafael Serrano Carvajal for the rest of the long run in La Liga.
With notable players like Miguel Ramos Vargas "Migueli", Sebastian Viberti, Juan Antonio Deusto and José Díaz Macías, the club scored achievements like two 7th positions in La Liga in seasons 1971-72 and 1973-74 (which are the best classification results of the club up to date), a Ricardo Zamora Trophy in 1971-72 season performed by goalkeeper Deusto, and performed in 1972-1973 season the best run of the club in Copa del Rey, where they were dumped out in the Semi Finals by Athletic Bilbao. They also notably scored a victory on Camp Nou for the fist time after winning to FC Barcelona at the end of the 1971-72 season. The club also established in 1973 an official anthems, Málaga La Bombonera, and from that moment the song is still the official anthem of the club.
After a polemic exit of Viberti of the club at the end of 1973-74 season, the so called golden years ended with a new relegation to Segunda División in 1974-75.
Club replacement in 1992
Málaga had a reserve club, founded on May 25 1948 when CD Málaga took over a junior club , CD Santo Tomás, with the purpose of establishing a reserve team. The club was renamed Club Atlético Malagueño, reviving the name of one of the two clubs that had merged to form CD Málaga in 1933.
During the 1959-60 season CA Malagueño and CD Málaga found themselves together in the Tercera División. As a reserve team CA Malagueño should have been relegated. However to avoid this, they separated from their parent club and registered as an independent club with the Spanish Football Federation. This allowed the club to stay in the Tercera División.
In 1992 when CD Málaga dissolved after financial difficulties, CA Malagueño continued playing. The 1992-93 season saw CA Malagueño playing in Tercera Division Group 9. After a successful campaign, the club was promoted to Segunda División B. However the following season the club was relegated back to the Tercera División and, facing financial difficulties they almost went the same way as CD Málaga. On December 19 1993 in a referendum, the club’s members voted in favour of changing the club name and on June 29 1994 CA Malagueño changed their name to Málaga Club de Fútbol S.A.D., becoming from then an official succession to what was previously called Club Deportivo Málaga.
A new rise in prominence in the early 2000's
In the early 2000's Málaga were a club rich in youth and top quality players. There stadium, becoming more modern and developed. Although they never pushed for a Champions League place, Málaga were always successful under the vastly popular Joaquín Peiró.
They shared the sole appearance and only official Trophy, the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2002, beating Gent, Willem II and more impressively an improving Villarreal.
Their run in the Uefa Cup surprised many, to others it did not. Unfortunately dumped out in the Quarter Finals by Boavista FC, they had beaten FK Željezničar, (who'd been eliminated form the 3rd round qualifiers of the Champions League by Newcastle United) 1-0 on agrregate. Amica Wronki 4-2 on aggregate, impressively winning in Poland too. Then a dream of a tie for the large congregation of English Málaga fans, Leeds United, after the 1st leg of the game it was 0-0, returning to Elland road is a hard task,(Leeds had been in the Semi's of the Champions league a couple of years prior to this), 2 goals from Dely Valdes sealed a 2-1 victory. Another impressive victory over AEK Athens meant that they went on to the Quarter finals, where'd they would meet Boavista. They would go on to lose 4-1 on Penalties. In 2008 it was revealed Boavista, were part of match fixing during that campaign, meaning Málaga may not have even drawn them.
After Peiró's retirement, a mass exodus slowly started to occur. Dario Silva, Kiki Musampa, Dely Valdes and Pedro Contreras, all left the club. Juande Ramos took over the helm and notably performed a resounding 5-1 thrashing of FC Barcelona at La Rosaleda, the major result up to date of Málaga against this club, with a Hat trick from loanee, Salva( who would end up missing out on the pichichi by just 2 goals. Ramos was appointed Sevilla manager and Gregorío manzano took charge.
Recent history: The slow decline and economical issues
Although steering Málaga to their second consecutive 10th placed finish, he couldn't prevent a lackluster Malaga side beating the drop. Although some players like, Ricardo Bovio tried, the squad wasn't good enough, they finished bottom of the league with 24 points to their name.
As the new Segunda season started, Málaga were in high hopes and started off well. However their form dramatically dropped and for 2 of the remaining 6 weeks, were in the relagation zone. Málaga luckily over turned this and survived their first season in segunda, a major let down they couldn't chase their promotion back to Primera.
The new season wasn't one with much confidence, players were brought in and fans looked worried. By winning 8 of their first 11 games, Málaga looked Promoted early into the season, however, with a drop of form and poor tactics, they sacrificed their Lead to CD Numancia and faced a battle for promotion with one game remaining, against Sporting Gijon and Real Sociedad, to achieve promotion they needed a win or either rival team to slip up. They won 2-1 meaning that they finished 2nd and were promoted. 2 goals by Antonio Hidalgo Morilla meant they ensured promotion.
Trofeo Costa del Sol
Between 1961 and 1983 the club organised its own summer tournament, the Trofeo Costa del Sol. Málaga won this competition themselves on four occasions, beating Real Madrid, Red Star Belgrade and Derby County in the finals. After a long time of inactivity from 1983 onwards, in 2003 this competition was revived.
