The 2022-23 campaign was a turbulent yet thrilling spectacle for Montpellier, as the Pailladins navigated a chaotic season that saw three different head coaches, starting with Olivier Dall'Oglio and culminating in the return of Michel Der Zakarian, to secure a 12th-place finish in Ligue 1. The year was absolutely defined by the phenomenal rise of teenage prodigy Elye Wahi, whose personal-best 19 goals anchored the attack, cementing his status as only the second teenager in 40 years, after a certain Kylian Mbappé, to reach 20 career Ligue 1 goals. Highlights, such as the sensational 7-0 victory away at Brest, showcased the team's attacking flair in a dramatic chapter remembered for Wahi's individual brilliance and his spectacular 'coast-to-coast' Goal of the Season.
