2009–10 FC Girondins de Bordeaux season

Season summary

Bordeaux made a good run in the Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals before being knocked out by Lyon. Bordeaux's poor league form saw them drop down to 6th, ensuring that there would be no repeat of European adventure next season.

Manager Laurent Blanc resigned at the end of the season, on 16 May, after 3 years in charge. This was controversial, as Blanc immediately made an inquiry about the position as manager of the national team, prompting chairman Jean-Louis Triaud to demand compensation from the French Football Federation.
