Paris (AFP) – Three years after relegation from Ligue 1, Troyes have sealed a return to the French top flight under former Marseille midfielder Laurent Batlles and backed by the City Football Group (CFG), the parent company of Manchester City.
Despite last September’s takeover by CFG, majority-owned by Sheikh Mansour’s Abu Dhabi United Group, promotion was not necessarily the overriding objective for a modest club from a region better known for its champagne.
But it was the reward for a successful season for a team that became the 10th in CFG’s global stable, joining the likes of New York City, Melbourne City and Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan.
