Le Havre AC Seeks New Manager Following Didier Digard’s Departure
Le Havre AC is on the lookout for a new manager after parting ways with Didier Digard last week. Current reports indicate that Wilfried Nancy will not be taking over, according to Sacha Tavolieri.
Digard’s departure has triggered a crisis at the Normand club, leading to the resignation of president Jean-Michel Roussier and sporting director Demba Ba shortly thereafter.

During the interim period, Jair Karam stepped in as the acting manager over the weekend. Unfortunately for Les Ciel et Marines, they suffered a 2-0 defeat to FC Lorient, leaving them at the bottom of Ligue 1 with just two points. According to Tavolieri, although Nancy, a native of Le Havre, was approached for the role, he declined the opportunity to manage at Stade Océane.
Nancy has been out of work since his brief and controversial tenure at Celtic, which ended earlier this year. He has expressed interest in returning to manage in France and was previously linked with the RC Strasbourg Alsace position over the summer. Ultimately, Hugo Oliveira was appointed there, but reports suggest that the Portuguese manager’s job is also under threat.
