Headline: RC Lens Appoints Didier Digard as New Head Coach
RC Lens has announced that Didier Digard has signed a two-year contract to become their new head coach, with the 40-year-old set to lead his first training session tomorrow evening.
This development comes as a surprise as Digard recently parted ways with Le Havre AC, a club struggling at the bottom of the Ligue 1 table without a win this season. There had been speculation that RC Lens might pursue their former head coach in light of Pierre Sage’s departure from Crystal Palace, and recent reports suggested that they were considering former Morocco manager Walid Regragui as a potential candidate.
RC Lens began their search for a new manager after firing Yannick Cahuzac due to a string of poor results, highlighted by the team’s historic 9-1 defeat in the UEFA Champions League. Cahuzac had only taken charge after he was promoted from assistant to head coach following the mutual termination of Dino Toppmöller’s contract after just six games.
