Association de la Jeunesse Auxerroise (French pronunciation: [a.sɔ.sja.sjɔ̃ də la ʒœ.nɛs osɛʁ]; commonly known as AJ Auxerre or simply Auxerre) is a French association football club based in the commune of Auxerre in Burgundy. The club was founded in 1905 and currently play in Ligue 1, the top division of French football. Auxerre plays its home matches at the Stade l'Abbé-Deschamps on the banks of the Yonne River. The team is managed by former football player Jean-Guy Wallemme and captained by goalkeeper Olivier Sorin.

Auxerre was founded in 1905 and made its debut in the first division of French football in the 1980–81 season and have remained a fixture in the league ever since. Auxerre are the only club from the top flight in France to have never been relegated. The club has won Ligue 1 only once in the 1995–96 season. Two years prior, Auxerre achieved its first major honour by winning the Coupe de France in 1994. The club has since added three more Coupe de France titles, which ties the club for fifth-best among teams who have won the trophy.

Auxerre have unearthed several talented players in its existence. The club has most notably served as a springboard for several prominent French football players such as Eric Cantona, Laurent Blanc, Philippe Mexès, Basile Boli, and Djibril Cissé, among others. All six players became French internationals with Blanc playing on the teams that won the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000.

From 1961 to 2005 the club was predominantly coached by Guy Roux. This included an uninterrupted period when Roux was in charge for 36 years between 1964 and 2000.

History[link]

The club Association de la Jeunesse Auxerroise was founded in 1905, by the priest Father Ernest Abbé Deschamps. The club success, becoming a force in the Catholic league F.G.S.P.F. In 1908, the club even reached the F.G.S.P.F. French Championship final, losing 8–1 however. At the end of the First World War, the club was expelled from its ground. Father Deschamps acquired several pieces of land along the Yonne on the Vaux road, which later formed the Abbé Deschamps Stadium.

Auxerre made its first steps in Division 1 on 24 July 1980 against Bastia in Toulon. Auxerre lost the match 2–0. On 20 November 1980, Andrzej Szarmach signed for Auxerre having received consent from the Polish Football Association. He started two days later at home against Lyon and scored the first of his ninety-four goals in Division 1. AJA's first season in Division 1 was remarkable for two particular performances: on 13 December 1980, at Parc des Princes against Paris Saint-Germain (3–2), and then on 7 April 1981, at Stade Marcel Saupin against FC Nantes for a 1–0 win, notable as Nantes had not lost a home game for five years and 92 games (between 15 April 1976 and 7 April 1981). In the next two seasons, AJA finished fifteenth and eighth respectively.

During the 1983–1984 season, AJA climbed for the first time onto the podium in finishing third. Patrice Garande finished top scorer with twenty-one goals. A few weeks later, Garande won the gold medal at the Olympics in Los Angeles with the French Olympic football team while Joël Bats and Jean-Marc Ferreri were part of the victorious French team at UEFA Euro 1984. That summer, Auxerre recruited Michel N'Gom. An international prospect, he left Paris Saint-Germain. During pre-season, he scored five goals in ten games. On the last weekend before the start of the season, he visited his former teammates in Paris. Tragically, he died following a traffic accident on 12 August 1984. To pay tribute, one of the stands at Abbé Deschamps bears his name. The 1984–1985 season saw Auxerre in European competition for the first time in its history by participating in the UEFA Cup, albeit with an unfavourable first round draw with Sporting Clube de Portugal. On 19 September 1984 at Estádio José Alvalade, AJA took its bow in European football with a 2–0 defeat. The return leg took place on 3 October 1984. AJA managed to retrieve the two goal deficit with a double by Szarmach, but eventually succumbed with two goals in extra time. However, by virtue of the victory of AS Monaco in the French cup, AJA qualified for the UEFA Cup the year after also.

The 1985 offseason saw Joël Bats join Paris Saint-Germain. Auxerre recruited Bruno Martini as his successor. In the UEFA Cup, AJA were drawn against A.C. Milan. In the first leg, Auxerre won 3–1. Both teams missed a penalty and Paolo Maldini made his debut in European competition. In the return match, AJA lost 3–0 and was therefore eliminated. Seventh in the league and quarter-finalist in the French cup, AJA did not manage a third straight season in Europe. Auxerre finished fourth in 1986–1987, and was once again eliminated in the first round of the UEFA Cup the following season with a 2–0 away defeat to Panathinaikos too much to overcome in the return leg (which Auxerre won 3–2). The 1988–1989 season saw AJA finish fifth in the league and reach the semi-finals of the Coupe de France before elimination by Olympique de Marseille, the future winner of the event. With fifth place in the league, AJA made the UEFA Cup and there made its first decent run. During the preliminary round, AJA managed its first victory. Beaten 0–1 at home by Dinamo Zagreb, it registered 3–1 in Yugoslavia and qualified for the first round proper. Auxerre beat successively Albanians Apolonia Fier, Finns RoPS and Olympiacos of Greece before being eliminated in the quarterfinals by Fiorentina. In parallel with this, AJA managed sixth place in the league. During the summer of 1990, the AJA sold Basile Boli and recruited Enzo Scifo, Alain Roche and Zbigniew Kaczmarek. Auxerre finished in third place after leading the championship for two weeks.

In 1991–1992, Auxerre was eliminated in the second round of the UEFA Cup by Liverpool and then finished fourth in Division 1. That summer, the AJA sold Alain Roche and Jean-Marc Ferreri while recruiting Frank Verlaat and Gerald Baticle. Auxerre then journeyed again into UEFA. Auxerre eliminated Lokomotiv Plovdiv and the newly formed FC Copenhagen. In the third round, AJA eliminated Standard Liege. In the quarterfinals, AJA faced Ajax, the defending champion and undefeated in the European Cup for two years. Before facing Ajax, Auxerre had suffered five consecutive league defeats. Auxerre managed a 4–2 home win. In the second leg Ajax could only manage a 1–0 win and so Auxerre had qualified for the semifinals, to face Borussia Dortmund. In the first leg in Germany, AJA lost 2 goals to 0. A fiercely contested second leg levelled the aggregate score, but Auxerre were finally eliminated on penalties.

While finishing sixth in the championship, Auxerre again qualified for the UEFA Cup after the VA-OM case. But unlike the epic run of the previous season, AJA was eliminated in the first round by Tenerife. AJA made progress in the league, with a third place finish, but notably captured its first major trophy, the French cup. Having made it past the lower division teams in the early rounds, AJA eliminated Nantes in the semifinals before winning 3 goals to 0 at Parc des Princes in the final against Montpellier. The following season, Auxerre finished fourth in the league and was a quarter-finalist of the Cup Winners' Cup: Auxerre was eliminated by Arsenal in the Abbe-Deschamps (1–0) having achieved a 1–1 draw at Highbury.

Bonaventure "Barry" Kalou (born 12 January 1978 in Oumé) is a Ivorian football player who plays striker for Combs-la-Ville.

Club career[link]

He started playing for ASEC Mimosas in his home country before moving to Dutch based Feyenoord. He played in Rotterdam for six seasons as a first team regular. He mainly played as a winger, but was also able to participate as a striker when necessary. In the meanwhile his brother Salomon Kalou who came to visit him, impressed the Feyenoord staff as well and was signed as a youth player.

When Bona decided to leave Feyenoord and try his luck in another European competition in the Ligue 1 at AJ Auxerre, Salomon was sent to Feyenoord's partner Excelsior on loan, before taking over his brother's tasks. Bonaventure Kalou played two seasons at Auxerre where he developed more into a striker and an attacking midfielder then into a winger. However he still maintained to score about the same amount of goals compared to previous seasons. It was in this period that he talked his brother (who still played at Feyenoord) into a Dutch citizenship, which eventually was rejected by Dutch minister Rita Verdonk.

In 2005/06 his next team became Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain started to become a relegation threatened team and he signed for another French team, RC Lens. The future looked bright for them, but they were surprisingly got relegated at the end of the season. Kalou returned to the Netherlands in 2008 with SC Heerenveen, with whom he won the Dutch Cup in 2009. Heerenveen beat FC Twente in the final, and Kalou scored a goal. In the end of 2009 he was on trial at Crystal Palace and Le Mans, but both trials were unsuccessful. In February 2011 Kalou announced his retirement from professional football. He joined French lower league amateurclub Combs-la-Ville for their 2011/12 campaign.

International career[link]

His younger brother, Salomon Kalou, currently plays for Chelsea as a forward/winger; Bonaventure had himself scored against Chelsea in the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League season for Feyenoord. They also have 8 sisters along with an other brother.

In the build-up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup there was speculation that the brothers could have become the first to play against each other in a World Cup match as Salomon was attempting to gain fast-track Dutch citizenship. This did not happen and ultimately Salomon would also play for Côte d'Ivoire, though not until after the World Cup.

Teemu Tainio (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈteːmu ˈtɑinio], born 27 November 1979 in Tornio) is a Finnish footballer, who currently plays for New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer.

He can play both as a defensive and attacking midfielder and out wide. Tainio also played at right-back under Juande Ramos at Tottenham.

Club career[link]

Early career[link]

Tainio was promoted to the first team of his home-town club TP-47 in Kakkonen, Finland's third division, at the age of fourteen. He was signed by Veikkausliiga club FC Haka for the 1996 season. Following a trial at Manchester United in March 1997, Tainio joined French club AJ Auxerre in 1997, and spent eight years at the club. He won the Coupe de France with Auxerre twice, and also gained UEFA Champions League experience. While with Auxerre, Tainio appeared in 204 official matches and scored 19 goals.^[1]

Tottenham Hotspur[link]

With Tainio's contract with Auxerre due to expire in 2005, he became available on a free transfer. In January 2005, it was announced that he would move to Tottenham Hotspur on a seven-year deal in the summer of 2005. He became a regular for Spurs in his first season, playing in various midfield positions.

He scored his first goal for his new club in December 2005 against Newcastle United during a Premiership match at White Hart Lane.^[2] Tainio was one of ten Spurs squad members struck down by a virus on the evening of 6 May 2006 before their crucial final game of the season against West Ham.^[3] He nevertheless played in the match, which Spurs lost, missing out on a place in the Champions League.

He scored his second Spurs goal on 9 December 2006, the third goal in the 5–1 home win against Charlton Athletic.^[4] His third goal for the club was an equaliser against West Ham to make the score 2–2 on 4 March 2007. Spurs went on to win the game 4–3.^[5]

Tainio won the 2008 Football League Cup (also known as the Carling Cup) when Tottenham took a 2–1 extra-time win over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium in the final played on 24 February 2008. He came on as a substitute in the 75th minute when the score was 1–1. He then was booked with five more minutes left in the game for time wasting on a throw in.^[6]

Sunderland[link]

He joined Sunderland on the 23 July 2008 for an undisclosed fee. He became their first summer signing and the first Finnish player ever for Sunderland.^[7][8] He scored his first goal for Sunderland in a second round Carling Cup game at Norwich on 24 August 2009.^[9] He left Sunderland on 31st August 2010, when Sunderland A.F.C terminated his contract by mutual consent.

Birmingham City (loan)[link]

Tainio joined Birmingham City on 1 September 2009, on loan for the remainder of the 2009–10 season.^[10] Having recovered from a calf injury sustained on international duty,^[11] he made his debut for the club on 13 September in a 1–0 home defeat in the Birmingham derby against Aston Villa, in which he produced a good performance in a less-familiar role at right-back.^[12]

Ajax[link]

Tainio signed a one-year contract on the very same day after he was released by Sunderland. At Ajax, he rejoined his former Tottenham coach, Martin Jol. ^[13] He made his Ajax debut on 11th September 2010, playing the last five minutes as a substitute for Demy de Zeeuw in a 2-0 victory over Willem II. He also made appearance in the 2010-11 Champions League, playing the last 21 minutes against Real Madrid in the 2-0 away loss match in the group stage. ^[14] After making only 5 official appearances while with Ajax, Tainio accepted an offer from Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls.^[15]

New York Red Bulls[link]

Tainio joined New York Red Bulls during their pre-season training for the 2011 Major League Soccer season. He became the first Finn to sign for the team formerly known as the New York/New Jersey Metrostars when the club officially signed him on 9 March 2011.^[16] He made his official debut for New York on 19 March 2011, in the Red Bulls' 2011 MLS season opener, a 1-0 victory over Seattle Sounders FC, assisting on Juan Agudelo's game winning goal. He has quickly become a fan favorite early in the season with multiple assists, good play to his name. ^[17]

International career[link]

Tainio with Finland

Tainio made his debut for the Finnish national team on 5 February 1998 against Cyprus, and has been a regular for the team through most of the 2000s. After signing with New York Red Bulls in 2011, Tainio announced that he might retire at the international level, citing the long distance flights and time difference between the States and Finland. ^[18]
