On 5 January 2020, Faucher scored a brace within two minutes, to give his team a much-needed 2-1 home win against AEL. [12] On 14 January 2020, his goal against Aris wasn't enough for his team to qualify for the quarter finals of the Greek Cup, as Xanthi lost 3-1 on aggregate. [13] On 26 January 2020, he scored a brace, one of those in the second minute of second-half stoppage time to give Xanthi a valuable point in a 2-2 home draw against OFI. [14]
