Season summary

Lyon won their first ever French top-flight title. The title race came down to the final day of the season, with Lyon needing victory against fellow challengers Lens, who were one point ahead. A 3–1 victory secured Lyon's title win.[2]

At the end of the season, Jacques Santini left to manage the France national team. Former Rennes manager Paul Le Guen was appointed as his replacement.
