Bordeaux History

Champions of France 1999   Created on: 5/30/2008   By: Joane   Tags: Bordeaux,   Champions of France 1999

In 1949/50 Bordeaux became champions of Ligue 1 just a year after being champions of Ligue 2, with André Gérard one of the main people in their quest for the title. Bordeaux's defense became known as the "impenetrable fortress". Of these, three names were most significant, the
names of De Harder, Kargu and Libar. Time went on and Bordeaux declined in form until 1979-80 when, after thirteen weeks they sacked their manager and within nine months brought in Raymond Goethals, successful with Anderlecht team with his own renowned tactics. However he lasted no longer than a single calendar year and later they brought in Aimé Jacquet.

During the eighties, Bordeaux won three Ligues, two Coupes de France, and qualified several consecutive years for European competition. A comparative side for over the next ten years, Bordeaux was relegated to the second division for financial reasons in the early nineties. The rebirth, however, was immediate after some flowing football not only secured immediate promotion back to Ligue 1, but meant that not so many years later, Bordeaux were constantly frequenting Europe.

The Lighthouse Club French football, FC Girondins de Bordeaux, 5 times champion of France, has long understood that a strong club rests on a long-term training, which is intended to convey to young players the values of a great football club and ensure its continuity. Girondins de Bordeaux has made training one of its main objectives. This policy bears fruit with the emergence of talented players of international repute and two national titles in less than 15 years and in 1999, increased demand for internships in Training Center, in France, in Europe and throughout the world. In 1999, the FC Girondins de Bordeaux allowed to assert the will of the club to give priority to the training of young people. It has always been a springboard for young talent, and it is with this in mind that the chain continues more than ever to develop the Training Center, with the creation of new sports facilities and host teams and strengthened supervision through high-level educators. To achieve this goal, the Training Center provides students the tools necessary to succeed both in the business world and in professional football.
