Paris Saint-Germain split on June 1, 1972.[5][6] Paris FC remained in Division 1, while PSG kept their name but were administratively relegated to Division 3, thus losing professional status.[5][7] Logically, most of the club's stars, including team captain Jean Djorkaeff, preferred to play elite football with Paris FC. Since only top-tier pro clubs could have a reserve team, PSG took the spot of their development side in the third tier and rebuilt their squad with many of those upcoming youth academy players.[5]

As a result, Paris Saint-Germain began the new season with a young but talented squad that would star in the club's forthcoming back-to-back promotions.[6][5] Some of these gifted youngsters included Christian André, Éric Renaut, Othniel Dossevi, Michel Marella and Jacques Laposte.[8] PSG would finish second in Group West, six points behind Quevilly, missing out on promotion by little.[5] Fortunately, Quevilly had to dissolve due to financial problems shortly after the end of the season and PSG took their place in Division 2 by default.[9]
