# 2013–14 Lille OSC season

The 2013–14 season was Lille OSC's seventieth season in existence and the club's fourteenth consecutive season in the top flight of French football. For the first time since the 2008–09 season, the club failed to qualify for any European competition and therefore only participated in domestic competitions (Ligue 1, Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue).
For the season, Lille announced René Girard as the replacement to departing manager Rudi Garcia, who joined Italian side Roma.

* ↑ Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the Europa League third qualifying round by winning the 2013–14 Coupe de la Ligue. However, since they already qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spots awarded to the cup winners were passed down the league.
* ↑ Monaco were deducted 2 points due to poor fan behavior in a match last season. However this was overturned on 13 August 2013.
