The Legacy
Guy Stéphan arrived as manager to lead Olympique Lyonnais to an eighth-place finish in Division 1. Florian Maurice remained the focal point of the attack, while a young Ludovic Giuly continued his development alongside Marcelo. The side struggled to find momentum in the league despite the squad depth. Adidas provided the kits for this campaign, which featured Sodexo as the front sponsor. Lyon aimed for European qualification but ultimately fell short of the top five, closing out a middling domestic run.
Key Moment
Olympique Lyonnais finished 8th in Ligue 1 in 1996-1997 and defeated Marseille 8-0 at the Stade de Gerland in May 1997.
