ElieBaup has replaced Frédéric Antonetti as coach of AS Saint-Etienne, who were promoted to Ligue 1 last season after finishing top of the French second division.
Baup's arrival is one of five changes in the club's coaching and managerial structure.
Saint-Etienne old boys Daniel Sanchez, who will be Baup's assistant, and Oswaldo Piazza, the new managing director, have also returned to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
Bordeaux chairman Jean-Louis Triaud insists it was not a snap decision to sack ElieBaup and that he did not react under pressure from the club's major shareholders.
Baup was relieved of his duties last week and replaced by Michel Pavon after Les Girondins' insipid form in Le Championnat this season.
Triaud offered Baup a role as the club's general manager but that was rejected, with the Bordeaux supremo revealing he carefully thought the matter through before making a change at the helm.
