After the 2004-05 season, Auxerre was forced to seek a new manager for the first time in over 40 years, as Guy Roux retired after having been manager since 1961. Roux saw the club rise through every division in French football, culminating in promotion to Ligue 1 in 1980, and the French championship in 1996.

Auxerre replaced Roux with Jacques Santini, a former France national team head coach who had also managed several top French clubs and had a brief stint at Tottenham Hotspur of England.
