Summary

edit

A new Executive Board arrived on 11 September 1943, and the club appointed Santiago Bernabéu as its new president.[1] The squad finished seventh in the league, 12 points below champions Valencia.[2] in the first season of Ramon Encinas as head coach. On 16 July 1944, the club played the only match in its history against UD Melilla (until 2018).[3] After 11 years in the club, midfielder Sauto announced his retirement.[4] In the Copa del Generalísimo, the squad was eliminated in the round of 16 by underdogs Granada CF after being shockingly defeated 0–2 in Madrid.[5]
