The 2010-11 campaign for AJ Auxerre was a memorable blend of continental drama and solid domestic consolidation. L'AJA secured a respectable 9th-place finish in Ligue 1 under manager Jean Fernandez, but the season's true highlight was their improbable run to the UEFA Champions League group stage. Spearheading the attack with 10 crucial league goals was the rapid Kenyan forward Dennis Oliech. The team's successful European adventure, which saw them clinch an impressive group stage victory against Ajax, and their push to the Coupe de la Ligue semi-finals, made it a year of soaring excitement that remains a proud chapter in the club's modern history
