The 2020-21 campaign delivered a crucial year of consolidation for Tenerife as Chicharreros finished 14th in the Segunda División, securing their eighth consecutive season in the Spanish second tier. Leading the charge was the prolific loan-signing Fran Sol, whose 10 goals proved decisive in a campaign anchored by a resolute defense that saw the team finish with a perfectly balanced goal difference of zero (36 goals scored, 36 conceded). Under manager Rubén Baraja, the team navigated the challenges of the season, also reaching the Round of 32 in the Copa del Rey, marking a respectable mid-table chapter in the club's history.
