Led by Umberto Barberis and Claude "Didi" Andrey, in 1978-1979 the club won all the competitions it had entered - with the exception of the European Cup Winners' Cup where it was eliminated in quarter finals without losing by Fortuna Dusseldorf, that year's finalist. Barberis then became French champion in 1982 with AS Monaco.
