The Legacy

RC Lens won the Division 1 title in 1997-1998, edging out Metz on goal difference to secure the club's first league championship. Managed by Daniel Leclercq, the squad relied on the creativity of Vladimir Smicer and the finishing of Anto Drobnjak. Eric Sikora provided stability in the backline, while Guillaume Warmuz proved a formidable presence in goal. This Umbro home shirt carries the Kia sponsor, marking a historic year that saw the club reach the pinnacle of French football under a highly effective tactical system.
