History
It has a range of skillful and talented players such as Fran, Juan Carlos Valerón, Jorge Andrade and Diego Tristán. Deportivo have won the Spanish League once (2000), the Copa del Rey twice (1995, 2002), and the Supercopa de España three times (1995, 2000, 2002).
In the 2004 UEFA Champions League, Depor knocked out the previous year's runners up Juventus. Then, in the quarterfinals, it continued its surge by defeating defending champions AC Milan in improbable fashion, erasing a 4-1 deficit in the opening leg in Milan with a stunning 4-0 win in A Coruña. This is the largest comeback ever in a knockout Champions League tie. However, Depor lost to eventual champion FC Porto of Portugal in the semifinals on a 0-1 aggregate score.
The 2004/2005 season saw them play out some of their most inconsistent form in many seasons, with indifferent performances saw long-serving coach Javier Irureta parting ways with the club despite having many fruitful seasons including the Primera Liga title back in 2000.
