Clermont Foot Auvergne 63 is a French football club from Clermont-Ferrand , the capital of the central French department of Puy-de-Dôme in Auvergne .

It was founded in 1911 as AS Clermont-Ferrand . The club carried this name until 1984, when it merged with Stade Clermontois and another local club under the new name Clermont FC . This had to file for bankruptcy in 1989; In 1990 it was re-established under Clermont Foot Auvergne . As a result, the club changed its name to Clermont Foot 63 , where 63 is the ordinal number of the Puy-de-Dôme department. The club colors are red and blue; the league team plays at the Stade Gabriel Montpied , which has a capacity of 10,607 seats.

Club president Claude Michy made  a novelty in May 2014 when he signed the former Portuguese soccer player Helena Costa as coach instead of Régis Brouard . Born in Portugal in 1978, Costa would have been the first woman in the history of French professional football - and the second in Europe after Carolina Morace ( AS Viterbese Calcio ) - to coach a men's team. After only a few hours in office, Costa resigned from her coaching position; In their place, the ex-national player Corinne Diacre , who also has a coaching license for the professional area, signed. At the end of August 2017, at the urging of the national association FFF , Michy agreed to an early termination of the contract so that Diacre could take up the position of head coach of France's women's national team after three years on the bench in the second division .
