Now there are no more doubts. Bordeaux will play among the amateurs next season. The club failed to pay its debts on time and the Control Commission has decided to demote it to the third category.
This is a heavy blow not only for the team, but for all of French football as Bordeaux has always been a club with young and promising players for the future.
According to the media in France, it was about an amount greater than 40 million euros that, despite the deadline requested by the club for a week, the managers could not provide.
The season we left behind Bordeaux was designed as a team with big goals, making big moves in the market and bringing the former coach of Switzerland, Vladimir Petkovic, to the bench, but still did not go further than the last place.
Bordeaux is one of the most popular clubs in France, having won the championship title 6 times and the French Cup 4 times, while it reached its peak in 1995, when it also triumphed in the Intertoto Cup, enriched by a lost final in the UEFA Cup. .
