Why It Matters
Yannick Cahuzac has been called upon to take on the responsibility of leading the RC Lens first team without a set deadline, supporting the professional group during a period of transition.
Lens has made official the dismissal of its coach Yannick Cahuzac, "relieved of his duties in charge of the first team" just over a week after a historic defeat in the Champions League. "Called to take on this responsibility without a set deadline, Yannick Cahuzac supported the professional group during a period of transition, putting all his energy and commitment at the service of Racing", underlined RC Lens in a statement released on Thursday.
However, the rookie manager - who had never held the role of first manager - won only three of the nine matches in which he was in charge, remaining without points in the three Champions League matches. Above all, he was unable to overcome the humiliation suffered by Lens at home to Como (9-1) at the beginning of November, followed by a third consecutive defeat, on Sunday in the league against Marseille (2-1), coming a week after the defeat in the derby against Lille (1-0).
Open Questions
- Who will replace Yannick Cahuzac at the helm of the first team?
- What are the contractual terms of the exemption?
