Club Deportivo Linares was founded in 1990 with Miguel Hernández as its first president,[1] first reaching the
fourth division four years later, with a brief spell in the
third level in
2000–01 – immediate relegation back.
On 21 July 2009, after seven consecutive seasons in Segunda B, the
mayor of Linares, Juan Fernández, announced the club's defunction, due to the impossibility of paying its debt (around
€4.7 million).[2][3] It managed to play another seven seasons in division three.
On 5 August, Linares' new managing board confirmed the registration in the fourth category[4] but, eventually, the
Royal Spanish Football Federation forced the team to disappear.[5]
