Summary edit

During summer club President Jesus Gil y Gil appointed Real Oviedo manager Radomir Antic as the new head coach. Meanwhile bids on Real Oviedo midfielders Robert Prosinecki, Slavisa Jokanovic, Spartak Moscow central back Viktor Onopko and young Albacete Forward Fernando Morientes (he chose to play Real Zaragoza instead) were failed to reinforce the squad, meaning that the upcoming arrivals have to take the team for the season. Gil y Gil transferred in Goalkeeper José Francisco Molina and Defender Santi Denia from Albacete, Lubo Penev from Valencia CF, midfielders Milinko Pantic and Roberto Fresnedoso from RCD Espanyol.
