The Division 1 1958/59 was the 21st staging of the professional French football league. Champion was OGC Nice , which won its fourth title since 1951 .
The first matchday was August 17, 1958, the last matchday was May 31, 1959. There was only a “winter break” for one week over the turn of the year.
societies
The clubs that had finished the previous season no worse than in 16th place were eligible to participate , plus four promoted teams from the second division . Thus, the following teams played for the championship title this season:
- three clubs from the far north ( Racing Lens , US Valenciennes-Anzin , OSC Lille ),
- three from Paris and Champagne-Ardenne ( Racing Paris , defending champion Stade Reims , UA Sedan-Torcy ),
- three from the northeast ( FC Sochaux and the two newly promoted FC Nancy , Racing Strasbourg ),
- three from the west ( SCO Angers and the two newly promoted Stade Rennes UC , FC Limoges ),
- eight from the south ( AS Saint-Étienne , Olympique Lyon , Toulouse FC , Olympique Alès , Olympique Nîmes , Olympique Marseille , OGC Nice , AS Monaco ).
Season course
Paris got off to a sensational start to the season, was still undefeated after 16 rounds and played particularly spectacularly on the offensive. The head of the team was the "old technician Joseph Ujlaki " and "enforcer in the storm" Thadée Cisowski , who was the first player in league history to win the top scorer's crown for the third time . Then the “Penguins” suffered a home defeat against Sochaux, and Nice won the symbolic autumn championship title. The team from the Côte d'Azur , in the two previous years only League 13th, had experienced a change in personnel and formed a mixture of veterans and "hungry boys"; In the second half of the season, the OGC did not lose a single game on their opponents' places, and in front of their own audience they made their only point loss during the entire season on the penultimate matchday (0-3 against Angers), when the championship was already certain. With that, Nice left the two teams that had been declared the main favorites before the start of the season: Nîmes had to be satisfied with the runner-up again despite an impressively strong style of play and a dangerous Moroccan-German striker duo ( Akesbi / Skiba ), while the reigning champions Reims, like three years before , he seemed to have invested too much of his strength in his successful course in the European Cup and thus failed for the fourth time to defend his title.
At the end of the table, Nancy - as the only promoted team - and Alès had to leave the top division; They were accompanied by two "former heavyweights of French football": Lille continued its "shivering and elevator seasons" of the more recent times, while Marseille "paid the price for a failed purchasing policy" and as the last founding member of Division 1 for the first time in the following season has not belonged to this group since 1932 . These four clubs were replaced by Stade Français Paris , SC Toulon , Girondins Bordeaux and Le Havre AC , second division champions and the first lower-class club in the history of the competition to win the national cup .
