Overview[edit]

The club tried to improve their 2022–23 season where they finished title-less. On 5 September, manager Ninrrol Medina was sacked due to poor results and was replaced by Argentinian coach César Vigevani,^[1] who was shortly replaced by Diego Vásquez on 26 November due to the same reason.^[2] On 3 May, Rubilio Castillo scored his 100th league goal for the club becoming the first ever player to reach that figure.^[3]
