It has possessed professional status since 1933 and is currently playing in Ligue 1, the top tier of French football, ever since winning the 2016&#8211;17 Ligue 2 championship. This comes after the club was demoted to the fifth tier of French football at the conclusion of the 2010&#8211;11 Championnat National season after going into financial liquidation. Renamed RC Strasbourg Alsace, they won the CFA championship in 2012&#8211;13, and eventually became Championnat National champions in 2015&#8211;16.<BR><BR>The club&#39;s home stadium, since 1914, is Stade de la Meinau. They are managed by Thierry Laurey, who replaced Jacky Dugueperoux in May 2016.<BR><BR>The club is one of six clubs to have won all three major French trophies: the Championship in 1979, the Coupe de France in 1951, 1966 and 2001 and the Coupe de la Ligue in 1964, 1997, 2005 and 2019. Strasbourg is also among the six teams to have played more than 2,000 games in France&#39;s top flight (spanning 56 seasons) and has taken part in 52 European games since 1961. Despite these accomplishments, the club has never really managed to establish itself as one of France&#39;s leading clubs, experiencing relegation at least once a decade since the early 1950s. Racing has changed its manager 52 times in 75 years of professional play, often under pressure from the fans.<BR><BR>The destiny of the club has always been wedded to the history of Alsace. Like the region, Racing has changed nationality three times and has a troubled history. Founded in what was then a part of the German Empire, the club from the beginning insisted on its Alsatian and popular roots, in opposition to the first Strasbourg-based clubs which came from the German-born bourgeoisie. When Alsace was returned to France in 1919, the club changed its name from &quot;1. FC Neudorf&quot; to the current &quot;Racing Club de Strasbourg&quot; in imitation of Pierre de Coubertin&#39;s Racing Club de France, a clear gesture of francophilia. Racing players lived through World War II as most Alsatians did: evacuated in 1939, annexed in 1940 and striving to avoid nazification and incorporation in the Wehrmacht between 1942 and 1944. When Alsace was definitively returned to France, Racing&#39;s identity switched towards Jacobinism with, for example, emotional wins in the cup in 1951 and 1966 amidst Franco-Alsatian controversies. More recently, the club has been eager to promote its European vocation along with its strong local ties.<\/P>","E917916C02D12AF6D7EA48F7303A1362":"<P><STRONG><U>CLUB<BR><BR><\/U>Manchester City EDS<\/STRONG><BR>Premier League International Cup: 2014&#8211;15<\/P>","5B70C105C09228B419825F9D2D3BB765":"<P>Patrick Vieira (born 23 June 1976) is a French professional football head coach and former player. He is the manager of Ligue 1 club Nice.<BR><BR>Considered one of the best players of his generation, Vieira began his career at Cannes in 1994, where several standout performances in his debut season garnered him a move to Serie A club Milan a year later. His single season in Italy was marred due to limited playing time, and he featured mainly for the reserve team. This allowed him to relocate to England, in order to join countryman Ars&#232;ne Wenger at Arsenal, for a fee of &#163;3.5 million in 1996.<BR><BR>During his nine-year stint in the Premier League, Vieira established himself as a dominating box-to-box midfielder, noted for his aggressive and highly competitive style of play, an attitude that also helped him excel as captain of the club from 2002 until his departure in 2005. He was named in the Premier League PFA Team of the Year for six consecutive years from 1999 to 2004. He helped Arsenal achieve a sustained period of success during his time at the club, where he lifted three FA Cups and three league titles, including one unbeaten. He then returned to Italy, playing for Juventus, but quickly departed after the club sustained relegation for their part in a match-fixing scandal. He then signed for Inter Milan, where he consecutively won four league titles, before featuring for Manchester City, where he won another FA Cup before retiring in 2011.<BR><BR>Vieira featured at senior level for much of his international career, representing France over a period of 12 years, where he also spent some part as captain. He played in the final in his nation&#39;s victorious campaign at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, and featured heavily as the team also won Euro 2000. Despite also playing a key role in the side that finished runners-up in the 2006 World Cup, Vieira was used sparingly by France in the latter stages of his career, and he retired from international competition in 2010, after amassing 107 appearances for the side.<BR><BR>Following retirement, Vieira transitioned into coaching, where he took charge of the academy at Manchester City in 2013. He would depart two years later, after signing for sister club New York City. His arrival in Major League Soccer (MLS) saw the team adopt a free-flowing, attacking, press-based system, which gained him many plaudits, and garnered him a move back to his homeland to manage Ligue 1 club Nice in 2018, marking his first managerial role in Europe.<\/P>","0192D11C6FFC52B1FA5A279107C4769C":"Patrick Vieira","64A2290C09C50CF35B7DBD9C8F3A2F5E":"82kg","989AD94B51E25F0B":"36","94A63A88C13097EB":"Strasbourg","691614162C53789F7BF95A6EBC086644":"192cm","9B2CF1B8E224CFD097332B024E65EDED":"20","0108B3B67855A673":"120","F3825434658EC407":"","5BAF7C8A60756B540D834B0A0F0B7C9C":"123550000.00","781CC09C30E6A152":"1","473E4F49EDE372FCCD98814B96C64159":"Stade De La Meinau","5D5D4DE02E331F86809BABE1DE910881":"Strasbourg","A98A68DC04206563":"","e_index":8};
