La Liga
Very difficult times are looming at the Carlos Tartiere, and Real Oviedo is experiencing one of the most turbulent moments since its return to the elite. The excitement that accompanied the club after more than two decades of absence in La Liga has turned into a climate of constant tension, with the fans completely at odds with the board. The second sacking of the season has shattered a project that seemed to need stability, but instead has taken the opposite path in just a few months.
The arrival of Guillermo Almada to the dugout has not helped calm the waters, quite the contrary. The veteran coach has taken over the team without support from the environment, in a hostile context and with a crowd tired of erratic decisions. Real Oviedo is thus entering a phase marked by distrust, institutional noise, and the feeling that the sporting direction has been lost at the worst possible time.
Guillermo Almada lands without the fans' support
The appointment of Guillermo Almada as the new coach of Real Oviedo has been received coldly, if not outright rejected, by a large part of the fan base. The coach was not among the most demanded profiles by the Oviedo supporters, and his arrival has been seen as another imposition by a board increasingly disconnected from popular sentiment. The accumulated discontent from previous sackings has resulted in the new coach having virtually no support from day one.
Within the Carlos Tartiere environment, there is an absolute atmosphere of skepticism. Many fans believe that the Real Oviedo's issues do not solely lie in the dugout but in erratic sports management that has extinguished any glimpse of hope. Guillermo Almada, far from arriving as a savior, is met with a shaken dressing room, an upset fan base, and immediate pressure that conditions any room for work.
The decision regarding Santi Cazorla sparks outrage
If Guillermo Almada's arrival had already stirred rejection, one of his initial decisions has definitively set things off. The coach has chosen to discard Santi Cazorla, a true legend of Real Oviedo and a major symbol of the promotion to La Liga. The news has hit the fans like a bomb, as they cannot comprehend why a player of his sporting and emotional significance is being let go at such a delicate moment.
Santi Cazorla represents much more than a footballer to Oviedo fans. He is the link between the past, the present, and the regained hope after years of suffering. His exclusion has been interpreted as a total lack of sensitivity by the coaching staff and as another indication that the club has lost its way. Social media and the stadium surroundings have flared up with criticisms towards Guillermo Almada and, primarily, towards a board that allowed such an unpopular decision.

Carlos Tartiere prepares for a resounding response
With this scenario, the next Real Oviedo match is shaping up to be a real litmus test. Emotions are extremely heated, indicating that the Carlos Tartiere will express its discontent loudly and clearly. The fans no longer hide their frustration and are gearing up for a strong response against the board, holding it directly responsible for destroying the excitement generated by the return to the top flight.
The team, caught in the middle of this conflict, will have to compete in a hostile environment that does not aid sporting stability. Guillermo Almada faces his initial matches with no room for error, feeling that any misstep will further worsen the existing fracture. Real Oviedo is now discussing not just results but identity, respect, and connection with a fan base that feels the club no longer represents them.
The season, which started with hope, threatens to become an exercise in institutional survival. Real Oviedo is not just facing sporting rivals but a deep internal crisis that could shape its immediate future. With the Carlos Tartiere in revolt, every decision will be scrutinized, and each match could turn into a public trial. The margin for correction exists, but time is running out, and emotional exhaustion is already evident.
