A traditional club is relegated to the third division: Girondins Bordeaux has been hit hard.
One or the other rough diamond will also leave the association.
Bordeaux – tremors in French football: traditional club Girondins Bordeaux must be relegated!
The six-time champion falls into the third division, after the past season they were already confirmed as Ligue 1 relegated.
Due to financial problems, however, they are not going to the second division, but to the National, the French equivalent of the third division.
This was announced by the control committee of the French football league on Tuesday evening (June 14).
The decision was preceded by a re-examination of the club's situation with a view to the coming season.
The broadcaster
RMC
reported estimates that the financially troubled Girondins owe around 40 million euros.
According to French media reports, the club can take action against the decision within a week.
Girondins Bordeaux: forced relegation!
Third instead of second French league
Bordeaux, champions for the last time in 2009, is owned by the Spanish-Luxembourgish businessman Gerard Lopez, who has appeared in the past as a Formula 1 racing team owner, among other things.
In the 1980s in particular, Girondins was one of the most successful French clubs with three league titles and two cup wins.
The stars included the European champions Jean Tigana and Bernard Lacombe as well as the later world champion coach Aime Jacquet.
In the squad of the past season, the names are less sonorous, but there are one or two prominent players in the traditional club.
For example ex-Wolfsburg captain Josuha Guilavogui, whom VfL loaned to western France in the winter.
Or Hertha loan Javairô Dilrosun.
The Dutchman had already changed in August 2021 and is now returning to Hertha.

Another player made 36 league appearances for Bordeaux in 2021/22 and was one of the team's top scorers with eight assists and one goal.
We are talking about Yacine Adli, a Frenchman who is only 21 years old.
His market value is currently nine million euros, making him the most valuable player in the squad of forced relegation.
A few years ago he is said to have even been observed by FC Bayern Munich.
In 2017 and 2018, all top European clubs competed for the super talent, who caused a sensation in the youth of Paris Saint-Germain at the time.
Ultimately, Adli decided to move to tranquil Bordeaux, although clubs such as FC Bayern, Manchester City, Arsenal and Barcelona are said to have been interested.
