2009–10 FC Girondins de Bordeaux season

The 2009–10 season was the 120th season in the existence of FC Girondins de Bordeaux and the club's 19th consecutive season in the top flight of French football. In addition to the domestic league, Bordeaux participated in this season's editions of the Coupe de France, the Coupe de la Ligue, the Trophée des Champions, and the UEFA Champions League.

Season summary
Bordeaux made a good run in the Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals before being knocked out by Lyon. Bordeaux's poor league form saw them drop down to 6th, ensuring that there would be no repeat of European adventure next season.

Manager Laurent Blanc resigned at the end of the season, on 16 May, after 3 years in charge. This was controversial, as Blanc immediately made an inquiry about the position as manager of the national team, prompting chairman Jean-Louis Triaud to demand compensation from the French Football Federation.
