RC Lens Parts Ways with Coach Yannick Cahuzac After String of Defeats
RC Lens officially announced the termination of coach Yannick Cahuzac on Thursday, following a troubling week for the team. The 43-year-old coach faced heavy criticism after the Blood and Gold experienced three consecutive losses: a 0-1 defeat away to Lille in the derby, a staggering 1-9 loss against Como in the Champions League, and a 1-2 setback against Marseille this past Sunday.
Cahuzac, who stepped up to lead RC Lens after Dino Toppmöller’s unexpected exit at the beginning of the season, struggled to secure results. He lost all three of his Champions League matches and has recorded three wins alongside three defeats in Ligue 1.
Reports from L’Équipe suggest that the club’s management has cited Pierre Sage as a potential successor to Cahuzac. Sage was recently dismissed from his position at Crystal Palace and had moved to the Premier League after leaving Lens this past summer.
