Bordeaux are going down to Ligue 2 and may not return for some time
Bordeaux are not known for their stability. Since appointing former France defender Willy Sagnol in 2014, the club has burned through 10 managers. Only two of them have lasted more than 42 games. Bordeaux have lurched from struggling in the bottom half to racing toward Europe before imploding again. Their cycle of boom and bust has finally proven unsustainable. Their goalless draw with Lorient on Saturday leaves them bottom of the Ligue 1 table, three points behind Metz, who occupy the relegation playoff spot. With just one game to play and with a far worse goal difference than Metz, Bordeaux are going down to Ligue 2.
