Despite steering Málaga to their second consecutive tenth-placed finish, Manzano could not prevent a lackluster side from being relegated, and they finished at the bottom of the league with a paltry 24 points to their name.

Málaga began the new second division season well. However, their form dipped dramatically and for two of the remaining six weeks were in the relegation zone. Málaga managed to address this situation and survived their first Segunda season.

The [[2007–08 Segunda División]] also began impressively, with seven straight victories. Málaga seemed to be on track for promotion but, after another slump in form, they were overtaken as leaders by [[CD Numancia|Numancia]]. They needed a victory in their final game, at home to [[CD Tenerife|Tenerife]], to assure promotion. Two goals from [[Antonio Hidalgo Morilla|Antonio Hidalgo]] secured a 2–1 triumph and Málaga returned to the top flight as runners-up.
