This period began discreetly for the team, without achieving as poor results as the last decade, but the funding support continued to decline. An important point was in 2003, when there is a bankruptcy in the team, to be topped and reborn as a sports limited company (a special category in Chile), and passing into the hands of other leaders with more business experience. After this, the results did not improve, and even the team had to go 2 times to relegation playoffs (2006 and 2009). An exception was the 2008 season, when he qualified for the final against Colo Colo after the playoffs, in which he was defeated but resisting a lot of resistance despite the difference in budgets on the team salary. The lack of experience of the new leaders was noticeable in debilitating too much the team after the great season of 2008, where in 2009 the team had a terrible campaign, being very close to the descent to the Second Division, being saved miraculously.
