Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace
Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace is having a successful transition season. Liam Rosenior laid the foundations for a conquering team until his surprise departure to Chelsea in January, before Gary O’Neil took over with a formidable pragmatism.
What has changed for RCSA?
Liam Rosenior's record is impressive: 17 wins, 10 draws, 9 losses, averaging 1.69 points per game. In Ligue 1, his 33 matches show 1.73 points and a 48% win rate, with an expected goal difference (xG) of +6.58.
How did Gary O’Neil take over?
Gary O’Neil, appointed in early January 2026, inherited a team on its knees but stabilized it in record time. In 8 matches across all competitions (including 3 in Ligue 1), he has 5 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, with 1.67 points per game in the championship.
What is the impact of this tactic on RCSA?
RCSA is breathing European air, proving that the Irishman knows how to manage the post-departure. In 7th place with 34 points, Gary O’Neil's team is in the big game. The tactical choice is already paying off, with the shock at Lens on Friday.
