Cultural Leonesa is facing a major restructuring after finishing the league in second-to-last place with 37 points, just one point above the bottom team, Real Zaragoza. The relegation to Primera Federación was confirmed after losing to Burgos CF and drawing with Real Sociedad B, prompting the club to plan a new sports project. With only three players under contract, Rodri, Calero, and Yayo, the situation demands a complete overhaul of the squad. Poor planning and instability during the 2025-2026 season have forced this change. A new coach is expected to replace De la Barrera, who only managed to secure 10 points in 15 matches. Candidates mentioned include Jandro Castro, Íñigo Vélez, and Joseba Etxeberría. Additionally, the club intends to renew contracts for key players like Miguel Bañuz, Quique Fornos, and Bicho. However, many players such as Badía, Rafús, and Satrústegui are unlikely to continue, while several loaned players will return to their parent clubs.
