Everybody knows AJ Auxerre, the French Ligue 1 baby, winner of four Coupe de France, quarter-finalist of the UEFA European Football Championship, which once again this year, will be competing for the Champions League against Europe’s top clubs.

AJ Auxerre can not be dissociated from the emblematic figure Guy Roux, its trainer for more than fourty years.

Who would suspect that originally, AJA was a catholic patronage founded in 1905 by Father Deschamps.

One century later, another priest takes up the torch trying to regain the club’s original spirit.
