Auxerre are in danger of going back to Ligue 2 after only one season in Ligue 1. After finishing 11th last season, their form has dropped badly.
Softfootball reported They have lost their last three league matches against Lille, Brest and Lens, and they were also knocked out of the Coupe de France by Monaco.
Their most recent match ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat away to league leaders Lens. That result left Auxerre in 17th place, level on goal difference with bottom side Metz.
