Right after being eliminated from the 2012–13 season, one of the club's director, Nelson Abdalah, announced that manager Juan Castillo would continue coaching for this season,[1] nevertheless, on 20 May 2013, president Pedro Atala announced Serbian Risto Vidaković as the new club's manager.[2] On 18 September 2013, the club released their new anthem called "Mi Corazón" (My Heart) interpreted by Luis Bustillo.[3] On 6 November, Vidaković was sacked due to poor results[4] and former player Milton Reyes took over.
