The 2013-14 campaign saw Les Pitchouns, under manager Alain Casanova, secure a respectable 9th-place finish in Ligue 1. The season was defined by the phenomenal attacking flair of young forward Wissam Ben Yedder, whose 16 league goals, including memorable hat-tricks against Sochaux and Valenciennes, proved decisive in establishing Toulouse's mid-table position. It was a pivotal year that marked Ben Yedder's emergence as a genuine star, showing immense talent and resilience immediately following his ban from the national team and setting the stage for his record-breaking career at the club.
