In 2009, the Italian entrepreneurial family Pozzo became the majority owner of the association. As a result, Granada entered into a partnership with the Italian club Udinese Calcio , which is also owned by the Pozzo family. Since then, many players in the Granada CF squad have been on loan from Udinese Calcio. In the 2009/10 season Granada qualified for the promotion play-offs and rose after victories against AD Alcorcón and SD Ponferradina after 22 years back in the Segunda División . Only a year later, the club secured again participation in the promotion play-offs: Then, after successes against Celta Vigo and FC Elche , Granada made the march perfect and returned to the Primera División after 35 years .
