The club finished \u003cstrong\u003e11th in La Liga with 46 points\u003c\/strong\u003e, but the final position doesn't really tell the story of the season. Málaga went through \u003cstrong\u003ethree managers\u003c\/strong\u003e, endured a difficult winter, and then finished with an excellent late-season surge under \u003cstrong\u003eMíchel\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e1. Juande Ramos — August to December 2016\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMálaga began the campaign with considerable optimism. Juande Ramos returned for his second spell as manager, while the club had invested heavily in new signings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe team was particularly strong at \u003cstrong\u003eLa Rosaleda\u003c\/strong\u003e, where they produced several dramatic comebacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey won \u003cstrong\u003efive consecutive home league matches\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA major feature of that run was \u003cstrong\u003eSandro Ramírez\u003c\/strong\u003e, who scored in all five victories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, away form was poor and the team's performances deteriorated towards the end of 2016. Málaga were also eliminated from the Copa del Rey by \u003cstrong\u003eCórdoba\u003c\/strong\u003e, prompting Juande Ramos to leave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMarcelo Romero — December 2016 to March 2017\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eClub legend Marcelo Romero, nicknamed Gato, took over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, this period became the low point of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMálaga won only one match during Romero's tenure — a home victory over Las Palmas. The team struggled for results and Romero was dismissed after matchday 26.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this point, Málaga were in danger of being dragged into a relegation battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMíchel — March to May 2017\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis completely changed the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormer Real Madrid and Spain midfielder Míchel González arrived and transformed the team's mentality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMálaga finished the season comfortably in 11th place, rather than being dragged into the relegation fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Player\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandro Ramírez — Striker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe star of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandro arrived from Barcelona on a free transfer and had a phenomenal breakthrough campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePablo Fornals — Midfielder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest emerging talents in Spanish football.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFornals was only 20 years old but became a crucial part of Málaga's midfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe played 32 La Liga matches, starting 31, and accumulated more than 2,600 minutes. .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIgnacio Camacho — Defensive midfielder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe midfield leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCamacho provided the defensive structure that allowed Fornals and the attacking players to operate further forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarlos Kameni — Goalkeeper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe veteran goalkeeper remained an important figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKameni played 35 La Liga matches, starting every one of them, and accumulated 3,150 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoberto Rosales — Right-back\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRosales was another important regular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe made 32 league appearances, starting all 32, and provided Málaga with considerable experience and attacking width from right-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short: Málaga 2016\/17 was a fascinating \"end of an era \/ beginning of a new one\" team. Sandro's goals, Fornals' emergence and Míchel's spectacular late-season turnaround made it one of the more memorable Málaga sides of the post-Pellegrini period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe official shirt\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the 2016\/17 Nike Home Shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfigure class=\"mv-official-shirt\" style=\"margin:16px 0 0;max-width:300px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1075\/0767\/9562\/files\/mv-off-ls546.jpg\" alt=\"Official 2016\/17 Nike Home shirt\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:300px;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e","brand":"Nike","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63481292292426,"sku":"LS546","price":95.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1075\/0767\/9562\/files\/tmp3-ls546-1-front.jpg?v=1789026890","url":"https:\/\/matchdayvault.net\/products\/2016-17-malaga-home-shirt-s-nike","provider":"Matchday Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
