The Association Sportive de Mutzig (abbreviation AS Mutzig ) is a French football club from the Alsatian municipality of Mutzig in the Bas-Rhin department . The club, whose first team was called the “white devils from the Bruche Valley” in better years, is currently playing in the seventh division.
history
The club emerged from FC Mutzig , which was founded in 1912 or 1913 . From 1930 he called himself AS Mutzig, but was again called FC from the German annexation of Alsace (1940) until at least 1945. Its most successful time began in 1959, when the ASM rose from the third departmental division five times in a row to the highest national amateur class - the latter took place in 1963 - and won the Alsace championship of the respective league level each season. In 1964/65 the team was able to achieve third place and also qualified for participation in the main round in the national cup competition . In the last sixteen , the team was eliminated against Racing Strasbourg after a 1-0 win in extra time. In the following season , the team made it to the sixteenth finals again; On the way there, the amateurs achieved a cup surprise, which was mentioned well into the 21st century, when they defeated the first division team Stade Français Paris 2-0. Then they defied another professional club from France's elite class, AS Cannes , a 1: 1 n.V. in front of 12,000 spectators in the Stade de la Meinau and forced them into a replay; In this, however, they were defeated by the southern French - this time in front of 5,000 visitors in Mulhouse - with 0: 4. AS Mutzig also made a name for itself in the Alsatian amateur cup competition in 1966, when it only found its champions in the final (0: 5 against AS Strasbourg ).
From 1970 to 1976 the team played in the Eastern group of the newly founded " Division 3 ", the highest amateur league. In 1971 it won the Alsatian amateur football cup by beating FC Strasbourg-Koenigshoffen 06 4-0 in the final . A third and so far (2013) last time the ASM reached the sixteenth finals in the national cup in 1973 (0: 1 against Stade Reims ). In 1974 AS Mutzig was even champions of Division 3, but was not allowed to advance for financial reasons. In 1976 she made it to the main cup again (first round against Racing Lens ), but at the same time she suffered three relegations in a row until 1978, before the "white devils" between 1985 and 1999 for a total of twelve seasons again in the Alsatian division d 'Honneur , now only in the sixth highest league, were represented. For the time being, they appeared at this level for the last time in the 2001/02 season, in 2012/13 only in the 7th division.
Stadion
The club plays its home games at the Stade Municipal Roger Leissner . The municipal stadium has 2000 seats and is named after Roger Leissner, the club president from 1957 to 1965.
Well-known former players and coaches
A number of footballers emerged from the ASM who later worked in professional sport and several of whom have also achieved international honors. Between 1965 and 1974 these were, among others, three French amateur national players ( Gérard Georgin , "Freddy" Zix - both belonged to the French selection at the 1968 Olympic football tournament - and Richard Schalber ); from the second half of the 1960s Arsène Wenger played for the green-whites, who was there in an eleven with Albert Gemmrich in 1972/73 . Even Jean-Noël Huck and Éric Edwige wore the dress at a young age of the "white devils". Mutzig's best-known coaches were “Paco” Mateo (1957–1961), Paul Frantz (1961/62) and Segundo Pascual (1963–1966) as well as Max Hild, who worked from 1966 to 1974 .
