The 2020-21 campaign was a season of immediate and agonizing ambition for Toulouse as Les Pitchouns, newly relegated, surged to a competitive 3rd-place finish in Ligue 2. Under manager Patrice Garande, the club was led by the sensational attack of Rhys Healey, whose 15 league goals spearheaded a push for an immediate return to the top flight. The year was defined by their exciting progression to the Ligue 1 promotion play-offs, where they ultimately fell just short against Nantes on the away goals rule, marking a crucial chapter in the club's determined bid to regain their elite status.
