Mallorca

The club was founded in 1916 and its full name is Real Mallorca Sports Club. Located in Palma de Mallorca. Its official first venue was named Estadio Buenos Aires. The team was named "Real Mallorca" by King Alfonso VIII and is a veteran team with a long history. In the early days of its establishment, the team won the second division championship, especially during the Spanish Civil War. It did not suffer the same tragic demise as other teams, and it also won almost all awards. In 1960, the team was promoted to the First Division for the first time. Since then, it has been ups and downs several times. In 1997, it was promoted to the First Division for the seventh and last time. The best result during this period was reaching the Copa del Rey final for the first time in 1991. 1997-1998 was the best period of its record. Under the leadership of head coach Hector Kuper, it won the runner-up in the Copa del Rey. After that, it defeated Barcelona and won the Spanish Super Cup. In 1999, he achieved another great result and finished second in the European Cup Winners' Cup. As for La Liga, its best record in history is third place, losing to Barcelona and Real Madrid. In 2000, the team was named the eighth best team in the world in 1999 by the Football History and Statistics Federation. Kraus preferred "442", but during the warm-up match, he decided to reuse the old double midfielder routine of his former coach Aragones, because Mallorca's midfielder and backfield players were "old", and neither Ngonga nor Marcos had the ability to control short passes. Mallorca has left many players this season, and the departure of right midfielder Finidi has made the team's wing problems more serious. In addition, if left midfielder Ibagaza becomes the organizer in the center, Mallorca's wings will be gone, so it is difficult for Klaus to draw the blueprint as he pleases with the existing player characteristics. In the first two months of the league, Mallorca may experience a brief decline due to personnel changes. Klaus obviously has to go through a difficult road to bring the team to the peak of last season. Copa del Rey Champion (1 time): 2002-03 Runner-up (2 times): 1990-91
