Season summary edit
Two-time league winning manager Gérard Gili began the season in charge but was sacked in September and replaced by Bayern Munich legend and World Cup winner Franz Beckenbauer. Beckenbauer himself would be replaced mid-way through the season after a run of mixed results by Belgian manager Raymond Goethals, joining from Division 1 rivals Bordeaux.[1]
Marseille would win their third straight league title and reached the final of both the Coupe de France and European Cup, making their first ever appearance in the final of the latter competition.[3] Marseille lost both finals, to AS Monaco in the domestic cup, and in penalties to Red Star Belgrade in the European Cup.[4]

Notes edit
- ^ The match was interrupted in injury time due to poor visibility after two of the four floodlights in the stadium failed. Marseille led 1–0 on the night and 1-2 on aggregate at the moment. When power was restored after 15 minutes, Milan director Adriano Galliani decided not to let his team go back on the pitch at which point the contest was abandoned permanently. UEFA awarded a 3–0 win to Marseille and banned Milan for a year from European competition including suspending Galliani from all official club functions for two years.[8]
