Strasbourg sits on the west bank of the Rhine as an important historic, geographic, and political city. Arsene Wenger grew up speaking Low Alemannic German and influenced English football vocabulary. The football club reformed after liquidation in 2011 and has one French title from 1979. Raymond Domenech once played in defence and later coached France at the 2010 World Cup amid internal conflict. Ownership transferred to BlueCo in 2023, integrating Strasbourg into a multi-club model. Numerous young players arrived from Chelsea on loan or transfer, and Ben Chilwell signed a two-year deal.
Strasbourg, official seat of the European parliament, the jewel of the Alsace region on the west bank of the Rhine. Important historically, geographically and politically. One of the city's most famous sons, Arsene Wenger, as a boy, was so embedded that his first language was Low Alemannic German, not French. To use a word Wenger brought to the English football vernacular footballistically Strasbourg was never too much of a hub.
In defence was the future France coach Raymond Domenech, the keen astrologist in charge when a very Gallic bust-up ravaged Les Bleus at the 2010 World Cup. Until now, though it is more correct to say Strasbourg has become a football trading hub. As the summer transfer window SLAMMED SHUT on Monday, Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace became a rather regular destination. In 2023, RC fell into the hands of BlueCo. Name familiar? The same US-based company had bought Chelsea from a sanctioned Roman Abramovich the previous year, beginning one of those multi-club arrangements causing untold trouble this summer.
