    Nantes and Ajaccio have both been relegated from Ligue 1 after a disappointing campaign for the two clubs. Nantes finished bottom of the table with just one win in their last eight games, while Ajaccio were also on the bottom of the table but managed to avoid relegation thanks to a goal difference advantage over rivals Toulouse.

    The relegation of Nantes is a blow for the club, who had been looking to make a push for promotion back into Ligue 2. The club's manager, Claude Puel, will now have his work cut out for him as he looks to turn things around and ensure that his team does not face another season in Ligue 2.

    For Ajaccio, the relegation is a bitter pill to swallow after they had been hoping to stay up all season. The club's manager, Jean-Michel Aulas, has vowed to fight tooth and nail to keep his team in Ligue 1 next season, despite the fact that they currently sit at the bottom of the table with only four wins in their last 18 games.

    Clermont avoided relegation by virtue of their superior goal difference over Toulouse. The club's manager, Christophe Galtier, will be delighted with this result as it means that he will not have to worry about the threat of relegation heading into the new season.

    Overall, the relegation of Nantes and Ajaccio is a significant setback for French football. However, there are still many clubs in Ligue 1 who will be hoping to bounce back and challenge for promotion next season. As for Nantes and Ajaccio, they will need to start afresh and put in a strong performance if they hope to survive in the top flight.
