AS Saint-Étienne and OGC Nice Have Been Relegated to Ligue 2

AS Saint-Étienne Relegated After 18 Years in Ligue 1

AS Saint-Étienne, one of France's most successful clubs, has been relegated to Ligue 2 for the first time in 18 years. The club finished bottom of Ligue 1 in the 2021-22 season, winning just five of their 38 matches.

Saint-Étienne's relegation is a major blow to the club, which has won 10 Ligue 1 titles and six Coupe de France titles. The club has also reached the semi-finals of the European Cup on three occasions.

Saint-Étienne's relegation is a sign of the club's decline in recent years. The club has not won a major trophy since 1981, and it has not finished in the top five of Ligue 1 since 2009.

OGC Nice Relegated After a Poor Season

OGC Nice, another traditional Ligue 1 club, has also been relegated to Ligue 2. The club finished 18th in the 2021-22 season, just one point above the relegation zone.

Nice's relegation is a surprise, as the club has spent most of the past decade in Ligue 1. The club has won four major trophies, including the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue.

Nice's relegation is a sign of the club's poor form in recent years. The club has not won a major trophy since 1997, and it has not finished in the top half of Ligue 1 since 2017.
