“He is underrated”: Christophe Pelissier’s unparalleled expertise in keeping Auxerre in Ligue 1

Christophe Pelissier, the coach of AJA, who is fighting for direct survival against Lille on Sunday (9 PM, final day of the season), has a remarkable track record: he has successfully kept his teams in Ligue 1 five out of five times when he took over at the start of a season. Four players who were part of the successful escapes for Amiens (2018 and 2019) and then Lorient (2021 and 2022) shed light on this unique expertise.
