The 2002–03 Sporting de Gijón season was the fifth consecutive season of the club in Segunda División after its last relegation from La Liga.

Overview

On 7 October 2002, Pepe Acebal was sacked as manager, after earning only two points in the first five games.[1] Antonio Maceda replaced him and, despite not winning any game until the round 11, he managed the team until the end of the season.

On 7 March 2003, due to the incidents during the match against Numancia at El Molinón, the Spanish Committee of Sporting Discipline agreed the closure of the stadium for one game.[2] This match, played against Almería, on 7 June 2003 at Antonio Amilivia stadium in León.[3] was the first one of Real Sporting played as home team out of El Molinón.
