1972–73 Paris Saint-Germain F.C. season

The 1972–73 season was Paris Saint-Germain Football Club's 3rd season in existence and 1st season in Division 3, the third tier of French football. The club also competed in the Coupe de France.[1] PSG played its home matches at Stade Municipal Georges Lefèvre in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, registering an average attendance of 679 spectators per match.[1][2] The club was presided by Henri Patrelle, and the team was managed by Robert Vicot, who replaced Pierre Phelipon before the start of the season.[1][3] French goalkeeper Camille Choquier was the team captain, replacing the outgoing Jean Djorkaeff.[4]

Paris Saint-Germain split on June 20, 1972.[5][6] Paris FC remained in Division 1, while PSG kept their name but were administratively relegated to Division 3, thus losing professional status.[7][8] Logically, most of the club's stars, including team captain Jean Djorkaeff, preferred to play elite football with Paris FC. Since only top-tier pro clubs could have a reserve team, PSG took the spot of their development side in the third tier and rebuilt their squad with many of those upcoming youth academy players.[7]

As a result, Paris Saint-Germain began the new season with a young but talented squad that would star in the club's forthcoming back-to-back promotions.[6][7] Some of these gifted youngsters included Christian André, Éric Renaut, Othniel Dossevi, Michel Marella and Jacques Laposte.[9][10] PSG would finish second in Group West, six points behind Quevilly, missing out on promotion by little.[7] Fortunately, Quevilly had to dissolve due to financial problems shortly after the end of the season and PSG took their place in Division 2 by default.[11]

Coupe de Paris

Now an amateur side, Paris Saint-Germain participated in the Coupe de Paris, a regional knockout competition for Parisian amateur clubs organized by the Ligue de Paris. Victorious over Malakoff last season, PSG successfully defended the title after defeating Poissy in the final. This title, however, is attributed to the reserves because it isn't a professional tournament. Therefore, PSG's official statistics don't take into account matches played in the competition nor appearances, goals and assists made by their players.[1]
