Dead clubs and their replacements 1) CD Málaga
Although it isn't a direct replacement but Málaga CF used to be a reserve team but when CD Málaga where relegated to the Tercera Federación they would've been relegated to the 5th tier but to avoid this they held a referendum and become an independent club.
2) UD Salamanca
Salamanca actually had 3 replacements instead of just one. They are:
1) Salamanca CF UDS some managers of the former salamanca club decided to refound the farm team to preserve the legacy of the historical club. With that aim, they created this club which currently plays in the Primera Federación
2) Salamanca AC
Was created as a replacement. But did not play any matches. Then the supreme court gave the reason to the Royal Spanish Football Federation to dissoulate this project.
3) Unionistas De Salamanca CF
