^ Division 1 1985/86 |
The Division 2 1985/86 was the 47th staging of the second highest French football league . It has been an open championship with professionals and amateurs since 1970. The game was played from July 16, 1985 to April 12, 1986; Between December 20th and January 10th there was only a three-week winter break. The reason for the early, tight scheduling was the World Cup finals in Mexico , which began at the end of May .
Racing Paris became second division champions .
societies
The 27 clubs that had not been promoted to the first division or relegated to the third division (national) or lower after the previous season were eligible to participate ; there were also three first division relegated and six promoted from the national . These 36 participants played in two groups, divided mainly according to regional criteria (one with teams from the north and west and one with teams from the south and east). So this season the following teams played for the division 2 championship : Relegated promoted
- Group A: AS Red Star , relegated FC Tours , promoted EAC Chaumont , promoted FC Montceau , FC Gueugnon , FC AS Grenoble , CS Thonon , CO Le Puy , AS Saint-Étienne , Olympique Lyon , AS Béziers , FC Sète , Montpellier La Paillade SC , Olympique Alès , Olympique Nîmes , FC Martigues , newly promoted Istres Sports , AS Cannes
- Group B: US Dunkerque , US Valenciennes-Anzin , SC Abbeville , newly promoted AS Beauvais-Marissel , relegated FC Rouen , relegated Racing Paris , Stade Reims , CS Sedan-Mouzon , FC Mulhouse , Racing Club Franc-Comtois Besançon , SM Caen , FC Limoges , newly promoted Chamois Niort , US Orléans , SCO Angers , promoted FC Lorient , Stade Quimper , EA Guingamp
Only the first in the group were eligible for direct promotion. In addition, there was a relegation between the worst-placed first division team, who was not directly relegated , and the best second division team, who was not directly eligible for promotion.
Season course
Each team played a return match against each group opponent, once in front of their own audience and once away. The two-point rule applied ; in the event of a tie, the goal difference was decisive for the placement. In France, when specifying the point ratio, only the number of plus points is given; here this is done in the notation used in Germany at the time of the 2-point rule.
In both groups, a close competition developed around the top three places that could make promotion possible, in which, however, Racing Paris only one of the three relegated teams from the previous year could intervene, who ultimately prevailed just as confidently as in the other group record champion Saint -Etienne. For the two relegation places there were five teams in the southern group and three in the northern group that were still promising on the penultimate matchday. It was even closer and more exciting in the fight against relegation in Group B; the ninth place (Abbeville) and the seventeenth place (Rouen) had three points separated in the end. The “Red Devils” from Rouen , who had competed in Division 1 twelve months earlier , were promptly “passed through” to the third division. Another traditional club, the Racing Club Franc-Comtois Besançon, which has never had a first-class representation, had to leave Division 2 in the summer of 1986 due to bankruptcy and the abandonment of his professional status, which he was the only club in league history for 41 years listened continuously - a record that still holds in 2012/13.
In the 612 encounters 1,483 hits were scored; this corresponds to an average of only 2.42 goals per game and was the second worst value (after 2.37 1980/81 ) of all time. The top scorers in Group A were Jean-Marc Valadier from Montpellier with 22 goals and in Group B Eugène Kabongo Ngoy from Racing Paris with 29 goals; The latter also won the league top scorer's crown. For the following season , the relegated Racing Strasbourg and SEC Bastia were added from Division 1 ; Six teams rose from the third highest division with SC Amiens , CO Saint-Dizier , AEPB La Roche-sur-Yon , FC Bourges , CS Cuiseaux-Louhans and Gazélec FCO Ajaccio .
