# Ligue 1 Relegation Results: Nantes and Clermont Secure, Ajaccio and Angers Drop Down
The 2022-23 Ligue 1 season is nearing its conclusion, and the relegation battle has come to a thrilling close. With just a few matches remaining, the fate of several teams hangs in the balance. This season has been intense, with multiple teams vying for survival, and the final relegation results have brought both excitement and disappointment for fans.
### Nantes and Clermont: Safe for Another Season
Nantes and Clermont have secured their places in Ligue 1 for the next season, much to the relief of their fans. Nantes, despite a shaky mid-season, managed to pull through with 38 points, ensuring their survival. Their form in the latter half of the season was crucial, as they won key matches to climb the table. Clermont, meanwhile, ended the season with 35 points, just above the relegation zone. Both teams have shown resilience and will look to build on their performances next season.
### Ajaccio and Angers: Relegation Heartbreak
Ajaccio and Angers, however, will be saying goodbye to Ligue 1 after a disappointing campaign. Ajaccio finished with 30 points, just barely avoiding the drop in the early stages, but a poor run of form in the latter half of the season saw them slip into 18th place. Angers, with 28 points, also found themselves edged out of the top tier. Both teams had moments of brilliance this season but couldn't sustain their performances consistently enough to secure safety.
### Implications of the Relegation Results
The relegation of Ajaccio and Angers will leave a void in Ligue 1, and both clubs will need to regroup over the summer. Financially, they face the challenge of restructuring their squads without their top earners, but they also have the chance to rebuild and come back stronger. For Nantes and Clermont, the focus will be on maintaining their momentum and possibly pushing for a higher finish next season.
The relegation battle in Ligue 1 has once again proven to be a thrilling spectacle, with every match deciding the fate of the teams involved. While Ajaccio and Angers bid farewell to the top tier, Nantes and Clermont look ahead to new challenges and opportunities. The 2023-24 season is shaping up to be another exciting campaign, and fans can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.
