Largely responsible for the financial downfall was the oversized transfer policy by Christian Constantin, which is one of the most colorful and controversial figures of Swiss football today. After Christian Constantin had replaced during the summer break Gilbert Kadji as club president, and again took over the presidency, he fought in court to take part in the championship of the Challenge League (formerly National League B).

He played from 1989 to 1994 with FC Sion and was heavily involved, as Sion won the 1991 Cup final and the 1992 Swiss championship team was first. After only four months in office, the Argentine resigned as coach of FC Sion. He announced his retirement in the mid-term break of Cup-1/16-Finals against La Chaux -de-Fonds known, on the grounds that he will not let dictated by the President of the team's formation and tactics. The game ended 3-1 for FC Sion.

On 6 October 2006 Constantin rumored that Marco Schällibaum Clausen will succeed as a coach. However, its use in Sion was also short: Already on 21 November Schällibaum was released, and was succeeded by Pierre -Albert Chapuisat. Sion wintered in second place. Chapuisat - the third coach this season - was released after two losses since the start of the game start in the new year. He was the 21st coach immersion in the period of eleven years.
