Season summary

Without the goals of Pauleta, Bordeaux had a poor season and slipped to 12th in the league. Manager Élie Baup was sacked in October and replaced by former midfielder Michel Pavon, but results failed to improve. However, they did make an impressive run to the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.
