🚨 Bordeaux drop to fourth tier of French football after bankruptcy

French side Girondins de Bordeaux have been relegated to France’s fourth tier after they entered administration.

The French outfit had been set to take their spot in Ligue 2 this season, but after talks with Liverpool owners FSG fell through the club filed for bankruptcy earlier this month.

“It’s a difficult decision that anticipates an inevitable consequence of the restructuring process underway,” the club said in a statement at the time.

Now, their fate has been made official as the FFF have confirmed their demotion to the fourth tier of French football, a sorry fall for a club that once boasted talents including Zinedine Zidane and Aurelien Tchouaméni.
