Lille LOSC Jegy

Bővebben Lille LOSC

The club is not owned by a wealthy businessman such as Paris Saint Germain. It does not have a rich sporting tradition as Marseille. It is not located in a posh, inviting location such as Monaco, nor can the city in which it operates boosts a reputation as being the world's premier industry, such as wine to Bordeaux. All Lille OSC can be proud of is being a product of a merger between two teams who were both founders of the French Division 1, and after decades of financial hardships, the club has found a proper management team that enable it to compete at the upper echelon of French football, as well as regularly play European competition.

Lille OSC was founded after World War II, when two local clubs, Olympique Lillois and Sporting Club Flvois, decided to merge, hence the new club's full name – Lille Olympique Sporting Club (LOSC). The new club wasted little time and success came knocking in winning Ligue 1 championship in the 1945-6 season. It did even better in cup competition (Coupe de France), winning the French Cup in three successive seasons, during the 1945-1947 seasons. A second championship followed in 1953-54, but this time around, the title signaled the beginning of a downward spiral and the club was first relegated to Division 2 in 1956.

Hard times followed. The club didn't have financial resources to fall back on, and attendance wasn't skyrocketing either. For the next four decades, Lille shuffled back and forth between the 1st and 2nd divisions, with little success to show for it.

In 1980 Lille became the first French football club to achieve the status of a Mixed Economy Company, which results in a mixture of a pragmatic division of means of production between private and public ownership. The move, in which the city of Lille became the major shareholder of the club, probably saved the club from caving under. It certainly became a major source of stabilization. The club was relegated again in 1997 (its last time in Division 2), but was promoted for the 2000-01 season, the first season in which the French Football League was privatized.

The recovery was complete. In its first season in Ligue 1, Lille, under coach Claude Puel (who coached Lille for eight season), qualified for the Champions League and has been a regular in European competition ever since. The club moved to 18,154 seat Stadium Lille Metropole, only to vacate it in 2012 and move to the new, 50,000 seat Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

In between came Lille's finest hour – the league and the cup in the 2010-11 season. Under coach Rudi Garcia, Lille won 21 matches, finished the season 6 points above Marseille and featured such players as Mossa Sow (Ligue 1 top goal scorer with 25 goals), Gervinho (16 goals, 9 assists), a young Eden Hazard (9 assists) and Yohan Cabaye (7 assists). Hazard can be seen as a symbol to the transformation the club went through over the years. The Belgium native joined Lille's youth sports school at an early age and came through the ranks. His talents and ability were evident and several clubs across Europe showed interest prior to him even becoming a regular in the 1st team. But the No. 10 chose to stay an extra year even after winning the double in 2011. Only then did he part ways with Lille for the fame and fortune of living in North London and playing for Chelsea.

The red and blue's most caped player is Marceau Somerlinck with 428 appearances, the top goal scorer is Jean Baratte with 218 goals.
