The Fútbol Club Jumilla , FC Jumilla for short , was a Spanish football club from the city of Jumilla in the southeastern Spanish region of Murcia .

history

Beginnings

Already in the 1920s there were several well-known football clubs in Jumilla, which over the decades repeatedly dissolved or merged and renamed. When Jumilla CF , founded in 1975 - other sources are based on the founding year (1929) of the original club - had to dissolve due to financial problems in 2011 , supporters of the club tried to start a football club in Jumilla again. Therefore, various clubs within the Federación de Fútbol de la Región de Murcia , the regional football association of Murcia, were subsequently observed and analyzed. One of the main initiators was Gumersindo Jiménez Ripoll, who shortly before was president of the recently dissolved Jumilla CF.

After some clubs were soon withdrawn due to the complicated financial situation, the focus was on Moratalla CF from Moratalla , just under 70 kilometers away , which had also dissolved due to financial problems at the end of the 2010/11 season and at the time of the dissolution in the fourth rate Tercera División was represented. A season (2009/10) in the Spanish third division had contributed to the debt of the club. Jiménez Ripoll then got in touch with the Federación de Fútbol de la Región de Murcia and negotiated a deal so that the other financially troubled club was initially only rented for an unspecified sum. The official founding of FC Jumilla took place on June 20, 2011, with the club colors blue and white being taken over from the previous club. On September 26, 2011, the association was officially registered as Ciudad de Jumilla CF in the Registro de Entidades Deportivas of Murcia. The name was sometimes chosen to avoid any confusion with the recently resolved Jumilla CF to avoid. After the abolition of the said club, not only the Jumilla FC was founded, but also a number of other local clubs, such as the Jumilla Club Deportivo , which joined forces with the local soccer school Escuela Municipal de Fútbol Base Jumilla (founded in 1998).

Santi Verdú , who worked as a professional for some time in the 1980s and then spent a large part of his career in Spain's third division, was introduced as the first coach of the team, which did not participate in any official game operation in 2011/12 . The team took part under the name Moratalla Aut. Jumilla participated in an unofficial tournament in which it finished ninth. In 2012, the club officials paid a publicly undisclosed sum in order to acquire the club in full and start playing with the club's men's team from the 2012/13 season in the Tercera División. Since then, the club has now appeared under its official name as FC Jumilla .

From fourth to third class

In the first game of the 2012/13 season, FC Jumilla, under coach Francisco José Onrubia, scored its first win (1-0 home win) against Águilas FC, which was founded in 2010 . Over the course of the season, the club brought in 34 league games to 21 wins, four draws, as well as nine defeats and a goal difference of 66:35, which placed them in fourth place in the group 13 final standings. Due to the table position, Jumilla had the opportunity to move up to the next higher Segunda División B via the promotion play-offs of the Tercera División after the end of the regular season . After a narrow progress against Andorra CF , who were only defeated on penalties in the first round, FC Jumilla were clearly defeated by El Palo FC in the second round with an overall result of 2: 7 (1: 2 and 1: 5) .

In the following 2013/14 season they acted similarly ambitious, but only made it to sixth place in the table after 36 championship games. Before the start of the season, President Gumersindo Jiménez Ripoll had relinquished his presidency to Blas Ruipérez Herrero and was only the club's vice-president himself. Ruipérez Herrero was confirmed in office as president even after the missed promotion. Emilio López Belmonte was the new coach this season. It was much more successful for the club in the following season 2014/15, in which the club also teamed up with the local football school. After 22 wins, six draws and just as many defeats, the team trained by Aquilino Lencina, a club legend of Yeclano CF , ranked first in the final table with 72 points. Because of this position in the table, FC Jumilla had to face one of the group winners in a direct duel in the promotion play-offs of the group winners of the Tercera División 2014/15. The club met FC Ascó , which was founded in 2010, and defeated them, after a 2-2 draw in the first leg, 3-2 in the second leg, which meant a direct promotion to the Spanish third division. As a result, FC Jumilla was also qualified for the Copa del Rey , the Spanish soccer cup, for the first time in its young club history . In the first round match of the 2015/16 Copa del Rey, however, Jumilla lost 2-1 to Linares Deportivo on September 2, 2015 at the Estadio Municipal de Linarejos, which meant that Jumilla was eliminated from the tournament early.

Potential relegation candidate in League 3

In the following season 2015/16 , FC Jumilla was acquired by the British company Football & Management Ltd. taken over and was considered a potential relegation candidate from the beginning of the season and could not break away from the relegation places until the last third of the season. During this time, Jumilla used Jordi Fabregat , Josico and Maurizio Montalti a total of three coaches in one season. Under the latter coach, an Italian , the club made it to 15th place in the table in Group 4 of the Spanish third division - equal on points with the 16th, Linares Deportivo, who had to go to the relegation play-offs. With a goal difference of -21, Jumilla also had the second worst goal difference in the entire group. Gumersindo Jiménez Ripoll was named honorary president of the club this season. Due to the cost-intensive participation in Spain's third highest league, Jumilla got more and more into financial difficulties, whereupon it was decided to move a new owner on land. This was in June 2016 in the two Chinese football commentators Li Xiang and Tang Hui, who, together with their Argentine business partner Rubén Iglesias, appeared as the new owner company of the club. Before the start of the season, Pichi Lucas was signed as the new coach of the Spanish third division team. Benito Abellán became the club's sports director. The owners took over the presidency: Rubén Iglesias as president, Li Xiang became vice president and Tang Hui became a board member.

New upswing after Chinese takeover

In the 2016/17 season, Jumilla quickly made it to the top of the table. The game of the 13th round against Lorca FC was advertised as a Shanghai derby in the run-up to the encounter . The reason for this was that Lorca FC also had a Chinese owner. The former Chinese international Xu Genbao took over the club in summer 2016. The game, which ended in a 1-1 draw, was broadcast live on five different Chinese television channels as well as on the Internet, reaching a potential audience of more than 300 million people. In order to promote the match even further , a large stadium on neutral ground was rented for this game in advance with the Estadio Nueva Condomina , Real Murcia's 31,000-seat home ground. For the visitors there was a free breakfast on site and the opportunity to win a car in a raffle. Tablets and mobile phones were further incentives to attract large numbers of visitors to the stadium. In the end there were around 12,000 spectators in the stadium; the home games of FC Jumilla were otherwise only attended by a few hundred spectators. In round 16, the team, which had occupied a place in the top 4 of the league for a large part of the previous season, slipped to fifth place. Jumilla was able to hold this position, as well as sixth place, over a few games and even ranked fourth on matchday 25 before the club slipped further and further down the table at the end of the season. After FC Jumilla had not won a single of its last eleven championship games, the team only reached eleventh place in the final standings.

The last two seasons before the dissolution

After this season, Xiang Li took over the presidency and made some personnel changes. Among other things, Guillermo Fernández, who had previously coached CE Sabadell for a few months, was hired as the club's new sports director. The former Spanish international Ángel Cuéllar , who had previously coached the CCD Cerceda and led it into the third division for the first time in the club's history, took over as coach of Pichi Lucas . Under Cuéllar, however, the rapid decline of FC Jumilla took place. By the eighth championship round, the team had made four draws and just as many defeats and was ranked 18th out of 20 places in the table, a relegation place. On the 9th matchday, José Francisco Grao, known as Pato , took over as coach. Even under Pato, the success was largely absent, although a first victory in lap 10, it took until the 14th lap before the team could achieve more victories. From the second to the 18th match day, the team occupied only 18th place in the table and tried again and again to break away from the lower places in the table in the weeks thereafter. It was not until the penultimate round that FC Jumilla reached a non-relegation place for the first time since the start of the season with 15th place and was able to improve to 13th place in the following final championship game. The four wins in the last four games had contributed significantly to staying up in the Segunda División B 2017/18 . In the last five championship games, the sports director Guillermo Fernández, after Paco was kicked out, acted as the team's coach himself. In the end, the direct comparison of the final table position decided in the end table, which was sometimes very densely staggered .

The Portuguese Leonel Pontes was introduced as the new coach of FC Jumilla before the start of the 2018/19 season ; Until 2017 Pontes had coached the Hungarian first division club Debreceni VSC . In August 2018, Jumilla FC reached an agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers from the Premier League , under which the Spanish would receive players from the English on loan to enable them to play in Spain's third division. In return, FC Jumilla was allowed to send its coaches and other employees to Wolverhampton so that they could sit in there and gain experience. The English first division team then sent six players from their U-23 squad to Spain ( Will Randall , Aaron Simpson , Ryan Leak , Donovan Wilson , Boubacar Hanne and Sherwin Seedorf ), as well as four players who were already part of the expanded professional squad at that time ( Ben Stevenson , Ming-yang Yang , Sylvain Deslandes and Jack Ruddy ). The remaining entries came mainly from Spanish clubs, but there was also a player from Portugal and one from a US football franchise. Over the entire course of the season, FC Jumilla was mainly represented in the middle of the table in the 2018/19 season , but slipped further and further in the last third of the season. After only two of the last eleven championship games were won, the club only finished 16th in the table and therefore had to contest the relegation play-off. Here the team met Real Unión ; After a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Jumilla lost the second leg with 0-2 and had to make the way to fourth division.

However, since the financially troubled club failed to pay salaries for months, they were forced to relegate to the fifth-rate Preferente. This led to the final dissolution of the eight-year-old association in August 2019. According to President Li Xiang, the social security debt alone was around 400,000 euros . One reason for the high level of debt was also a court ruling dating back to 2018, the Jorge Perona , who was from 2015 to 2017 as a striker at FC Jumilla under contract and due to a serious hamstring injury for sports disability was conceded a compensation payment. For this reason, Perona was awarded a complete sports disability by the medical experts . The Jumilla FC was then sentenced to an 80 percent share in the compensation payments. Benito Abellán was vice-president of the club at the time the club was dissolved.

Reserve team and other teams

The history of the second combat team of FC Jumilla goes back to the Club de Fútbol Nueva Vanguardia , founded in 1964 . The CF Nueva Vanguardia , who had never published it since the 1990s about the Fünftklassigkeit, merged in August 2015, which was founded in 2013 Club Espinardo Atlético , who played for a season in the seventh league now in the Spanish Sechstklassigkeit. Together they took over the club Edeco PMD Fortuna , which has been in the back of the table in the Tercera División since the 2009/10 season and was founded in 1987. Thus one took over the place of Edeco PMD Fortuna in Spain's fourth class, in which one appeared from now on under the name Club de Fútbol Espinardo Atlético Nueva Vanguardia .

In July 2016, FC Jumilla took over the football club from Murcia , last known as CF Espinardo Atlético Nueva Vanguardia , let it take part in the game of the fourth highest Spanish football league as its reserve team and named the club in Nueva Vanguardia Estudiantes de Murcia Club de Fútbol , or Estudiantes de Murcia for short CF around. The following year the club was renamed Estudiantes CF and ended its partnership with FC Jumilla. Again one year later the partnership with Spain's third division was reactivated and the name of the association again Estudiantes de Murcia CF changed. With the dissolution of FC Jumilla in 2019, the partnership ended automatically after one year.

In addition to the reserve team, FC Jumilla also had a small number of youth teams. Due to the cooperation with the local soccer school, there was no distinct youth team available.

Venue

The home ground of FC Jumilla was the Estadio Uva Monastrell , which opened in 1984 and was called the Estadio Municipal de La Hoya until 2018 and seats 3,000. According to other information, however, only 600 to 800 viewers are allowed. The sports field has a football field surrounded by a running track and has a twelve-row, roofed concrete stand, in the middle of which there is a booth for the speaker. In 2010 the roof was removed, but soon afterwards it was replaced by a new roof as part of a general renovation and some new buildings. In addition to the football and athletics stadium, the sports complex known as Polideportivo Municipal La Hoya includes several training grounds (the larger of which also has its own concrete stand), tennis courts, three swimming pools and various other buildings. The area is surrounded by the main street, the Avenida de la Libertad , mainly by commercial but also residential buildings; however, most of the sports complex is surrounded by building land. At the main entrance to the sports complex, you can read the year 1982, when the sports center was officially opened.
