'''Unió Esportiva Lleida''' is a [[Football in Spain|Spanish]] [[Football in Catalonia|Catalan]] football club based in [[Lleida]], [[Catalonia]]. They currently play in [[Segunda División B]]. Originally formed as ''Lérida Balompié-AEM'' in 1939, they became ''Unión Deportiva Lérida'' in 1947, after a merger with ''CD Leridano''. They adopted the [[Catalan language|Catalan]] version of their name in 1978. The club has spent most of it’s history in the lower divisions. However in the early 1950s and early 1990s the club won promotion to [[La Liga]]. During the 1990s the club was managed by [[José Manuel Esnal|Mané]], [[Juan de la Cruz Ramos Cano|Juande Ramos]] and [[Víctor Muñoz]]. All three subsequently became successful managers with other clubs. Since 1987 the club has organised it’s own summer trophy, the [[Ciutat de Lleida Trophy]].
==History==
===Early Lleida football Clubs===
Football was first introduced to [[Lleida]] in 1910 by Manuel Azoz, a [[Barcelona]] business man. Among the earliest clubs in the city were ''Montserrat'', founded in 1913 by [[Marist Brothers]], and ''FC Lleida'' founded in 1914. Both played their early games in the district of Pla d’en Gardeny. In 1915 the ''Associació Cultural Lleidatana'' was founded by [[Catalan nationalism|Catalan nationalists]]. By 1917 two other clubs ''Club Colonial'' and ''Athlètic Metalúrgic'' began playing at the Camp de Mart. In 1918 ''FC Joventut'' was formed by [[Young Republican Left of Catalonia|left-wing Catalan republicans]] and during the 1920s they emerged as the city’s strongest side. In 1919 they became the first club to use the [[Camp d´Esports]]. However this club was dissolved in 1927. Other clubs of the 1920s included ''AE Lleida Calaveres'', ''Lleida Sport Club'' and ''AEM Lleida'', all of which disappeared during the 1930s.
===Lérida Balompié and CD Leridano===
After the [[Spanish Civil War]], former members of ''AE Lleida Calaveres'', ''Lleida Sport Club'' and ''AEM Lleida'' formed ''Lérida Balompié-AEM''. After playing in regional leagues for four seasons they made their debut in the [[Tercera División]] in 1943. In 1944 the club spilt into two separate clubs, ''Lérida Balompié'' and ''AEM''. Meanwhile in 1941 Spanish nationalists formed ''CD Leridano'' and a local rivalry developed between them and ''Lérida Balompié''. On March 9 1947 ''Lérida Balompié'' and ''CD Leridano'' merged to become ''Unión Deportiva Lérida''. The new team retained both the blue and white colours and club shield of ''Lérida Balompié''. The first president of the new club was Eduard Estadella.
===First Golden Era===
''UD Lérida'' enjoyed a golden age in the late 1940s and early 1950s when they progressed from the [[Tercera División]] to [[La Liga]] in three seasons. In 1949 they won the Tercera División and the following season, 1949-50, they made their debut in the [[Segunda División]]. The season saw the club achieve their biggest league win to date, a 9-2 win against [[CD Lugo]]. They also finished as Segunda División runners-up and were then promoted to [[La Liga]] for the 1950-51 season. However the club were out of their depth and were heavily defeated on several occasions. There second game saw them lose 9-0 to [[CD Málaga]] and in subsequent games they lost 10-1 to [[Deportivo de La Coruña]] and 10-0 to [[Athletic Bilbao]]. It was no surprise when at the end of the season they were relegated. First eleven in [[La Liga]] was: Rivero, Rigau, Telechea, Carrillo, Esquerda, Roca, Gausí, Pellicer, Ramón, Bidegain and Fustero.
===The Mané Era===
In the late 1980s and early 1990s the club enjoyed a second golden era under coach [[José Manuel Esnal|Mané]]. He joined the club in 1988 and took them from [[Segunda División B]] to [[La Liga]]. In 1990 they were [[Segunda División B]] champions and in 1993 they won the [[Segunda División]]. The following season, 1993-94, saw UE Lleida return to [[La Liga]] for a second time. Despite a 1-0 win over the [[FC Barcelona]] ''Dream Team'' at the [[Camp Nou]] and a 2-1 win at the [[Camp d´Esports]] over [[Real Madrid]], UE Lleida only managed to win five other games and were relegated once again. First eleven in the return to [[La Liga]]was: Ravnic, Tomás, Virgilio, David, Txema, Gonzalo, Jaime, Rubio, Bartolo, Urbano and Parés. The 1994-95 season saw them finish third in the [[Segunda División]] but they then lost a promotion play-off against [[Sporting Gijón]].
