The 1980s saw a sharp rise back up again, as FC Annecy won three promotions in nine years to reach France's second tier for the 1988–89 campaign.
Winning the Coupe de Lyonnais in 1953–54 was capped by finishing top of the Championnat's south-eastern section a year later.
The team regained the Coupe de Lyonnais in 1958–59 and ended the 1959–60 campaign as the amateur champions of France.
However, on relegation in 1992–93, Annecy fell as swiftly as they had emerged – the club was wound up on 16 October 1993, and therefore gave up its professional status along with its place in the third level.
In 2013 the club regained the historic name FC Annecy, and in 2015 won the Rhône-Alpes Division Honneur, to gain access to the Championat de France Amateur 2.
The FFF found that Rémi Dru was in fact performing the function of head coach, and fined the club €3,000 per match played under these circumstances.
[5] On 13 May 2022, Annecy beat Sedan 2–0, securing promotion to Ligue 2 as Championnat National runner-up under Laurent Guyot; it was their first time in the second tier in 29 years, and the first since the division became one nationwide group.
