Vannes OC

In November 2002, after dismissing Denis Goavec, Vannes hired recently retired player Stéphane Le Mignan as manager.^[1] The team achieved promotion from the fourth-tier Championnat de France Amateur to the Championnat National under him in 2005.^[2] In the 2006–07 Coupe de France, Vannes won 2–0 after extra time in the last 16 away to Ligue 2 team Montpellier,^[3] then lost 5–0 at Ligue 1 Marseille in the quarter-finals.^[4]

Vannes won the 2007–08 Championnat National to earn promotion to Ligue 2 for the first time.^[5] This also meant a debut campaign in the Coupe de la Ligue, beating top-flight Valenciennes, Auxerre and Nice before a 4–0 final loss to Bordeaux at the Stade de France.^[6][7] In the 2010–11 Ligue 2, the team were relegated in 18th place on the final day, and the budget for the following season was thereby reduced from €8.5 million to €4 million, resulting in 14 players being released.^[8] On 27 December 2012, after over a decade in charge, Le Mignan was dismissed with the team 7th in the third tier, six points off Poiré-sur-Vie in third.^[9]

In June 2014, after narrowly avoiding relegation from the third tier, Vannes filed for bankruptcy, reforming in the Brittany Region Division Supérieure Elite in the seventh.^[10] The team won the regional Division d'Honneur in 2016 to reach the fifth level and return to national football,^[11] winning the renamed Championnat National 3 in 2017–18.^[12] In 2022–23, the team were relegated back with three games to play, following a 4–2 loss at Rouen.^[13]
