The 2014-15 campaign saw Les Girondins, under new manager Willy Sagnol, surge to a vital 6th-place finish in Ligue 1, securing a coveted spot in the Europa League qualifying rounds. Leading the charge was the prolific Uruguayan forward Diego Rolán, whose 15 league goals proved decisive in a season built on renewed ambition and a crucial late run of form, including a memorable victory over Paris Saint-Germain. This year remains an unforgettable, bittersweet chapter as the club said a fond farewell to their historic home, Stade Chaban-Delmas, and inaugurated the new Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux.
