The RC Lens coach achieved a very rare performance for a French coach.
The good series continues for RC Lens. After their draw in Seville and the victory against Arsenal, the Sang et Or won a point against PSV Eindhoven (1-1), Tuesday evening in Bollaert.
The discovery of the Champions League is going well, for the vast majority of Artesian players, and for Franck Haise. He becomes the first French coach to remain undefeated during his first three C1 matches on a bench, since Gérard Houllier in 2001.
