The 2007–08 season was Deportivo de La Coruña's 37th season in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football. They also competed in the Copa del Rey. The season covered the period 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008.
Season summary
After a poor 2006–07 campaign, in which Deportivo finished 13th, coach Joaquín Caparrós was fired, and replaced by Real Sociedad's Miguel Ángel Lotina, who signed a one-year contract.
Lotina improved Depor'''s league form, and they ended the year in 9th, qualifying for the 2008 UEFA Intertoto Cup. However, they fell at the first hurdle in the Copa del Rey, being eliminated in the round of 32 by Espanyol.
Kit
Deportivo's kit was manufactured by Canterbury of New Zealand and sponsored by Fadesa.
