Le Mans FC

Ligue 1, France

Le Mans were a Ligue 1 club in 2010 before financial collapse sent them as low as the sixth tier. After years rebuilding, back-to-back promotions have returned them to Ligue 1 for 2026/27. Keep them there, repair the club's long-term finances and finish one of France's most dramatic comeback stories.
