Claude Makélélé
Bastia started the season with Claude Makélélé as manager, as a replacement for departing Frédéric Hantz, with Didier Tholot as an assistant coach. However, after suffering a new Ligue 1 defeat against Guingamp in November, Makelele was sacked and replaced by Ghislain Printant, former head coach of Bastia's youth academy.
