The 2018-19 campaign was a dramatic, turbulent fight for survival for FC Sochaux as Les Lionceaux ultimately finished a precarious 16th in Ligue 2. The season was defined by a critical mid-season change, with club icon Omar Daf taking the managerial reins in November and guiding the team to a crucial, last-gasp victory on the final day of the season against Grenoble to secure their status. Though goals were hard to come by, the side relied on the joint contributions of forwards Abdoulaye Sané and Ermedin Demirović, who led the charge with 4 goals each in a tense year that underscored the club's enduring fighting spirit and remains a defining chapter in their recent history.
