Affectionately known as Les Verts (\"The Greens\") for their iconic green-and-white kits, the club were the first team to win ten Ligue 1 titles, which they did between 1957 and 1981, and reached the 1976 European Cup final where they were narrowly defeated 1-0 by Bayern Munich at Hampden Park. They play their home matches at the cauldron-like Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, known to fans simply as \"Le Chaudron\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2010\/2011 campaign, in which this crisp away shirt was worn, was Christophe Galtier's first full season in charge after taking over mid-way through the previous year and steering the club clear of relegation. Under his stewardship Les Verts finished 10th in Ligue 1 with 49 points (12W-13D-13L) - a comfortable mid-table position that represented steady consolidation after the prior year's survival scrap. The opening day brought a 2-1 defeat at PSG, with Mevlüt Erdinç scoring the first goal of the entire Ligue 1 season against them, but home wins over both Marseille and Lyon, each by 2-1, helped keep their position secure throughout the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe domestic cup campaigns offered no deep runs, with Saint-Etienne exiting both the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue without troubling the latter stages - a season in which Lille under Rudi Garcia ultimately lifted both the league title and the Coupe de France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standout individual was a 23-year-old Dimitri Payet, who finished as the club's top scorer with 13 league goals. He went on to write his name into Lille, Marseille and eventually into West Ham folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the club on X: @ASSEofficiel\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surprise Shirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55562952114552,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5564\/9221\/files\/Saint-Etienne2010_2011AwayShirt.jpg?v=1779121885","url":"https:\/\/surpriseshirts.co.uk\/products\/saint-etienne-2010-2011-away-shirt","provider":"Surprise Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
