Pelissier joined the club in October 2022 and immediately secured promotion to France's top flight. The former Amiens and Lorient coach led Auxerre to an 11th-place finish in the 2024/2025 season, but the following season saw his team battling relegation until the final matchday.

A victory away at Lille saw his squad clinch 15th place, ensuring their Ligue 1 status for the 2026/2027 campaign. However, the former French champions will embark on that season without Pelissier, as reported by AFP.
