Original Canterbury Football Shirt Lille OSC 2008/09

The 2008-2009 season of LOSC Lille Métropole saw the club evolve into the French football championship.

The club is opening a new page in its history with a new coach in the person of Rudi Garcia, replacing Claude Puel who left for the reigning French champions, Olympique Lyonnais. The LOSC also changes its equipment supplier with the arrival of Canterbury. LOSC separates from many executives such as Jean II Makoun in Lyon, Tony Sylva in Turkey, Stefan Lichtsteiner in Italy and Kevin Mirallas in Saint-Étienne.

Despite all its changes in players and staff, LOSC has a good season with a quarter-final in the Coupe de France and a 5th place in the league, qualifying for the Europa League 2009-2010.
