Nantes and Ajaccio have both been relegated from Ligue 1 following their defeat in the playoffs against Rennes and Monaco respectively. This means that they will be playing in Ligue 2 next season.

On the other hand, Clermont has been confirmed as one of the teams who will be returning to Ligue 1 after finishing second in the French Championship this season. The team had previously played in Ligue 1 but was relegated last year due to financial difficulties.

This is a significant achievement for Clermont, which has now qualified for European football for the first time since its return to the top flight. It also marks a difficult period for Nantes and Ajaccio, who were both eliminated from the playoffs by their respective opponents.

The relegation of Nantes and Ajaccio is a blow to the clubs' supporters, who may have been hoping for a successful campaign in Ligue 1. However, it is important to remember that these two clubs have been struggling with financial difficulties for some time, and this season's results reflect this.

Despite their relegation, Nantes and Ajaccio can still look forward to a bright future if they can improve their financial situation and find new ways to compete at the highest level. Meanwhile, Clermont's return to Ligue 1 is a cause for celebration for fans and players alike, and a sign of progress for the club and the wider football community in France.
