Grégory Lorenzi, Brest’s director of football, is the subject of discussions at Arsenal. The Gunners management is looking for a successor to former technical director Edu, who resigned a fortnight ago. Among several big names, Lorenzi is now expected. This is what the media Foot Mercato reports.
Lorenzi stood out
Already courted by Rennes, Lens, Nice and even Monaco last summer, the Brest architect ultimately remained in Brittany. If he had a few failures, no one doubts Lorenzi’s impact on Brest, with a limited budget.
The Finistère club qualified for the Champions League last season by finishing third in Ligue 1. Currently, it is ranked 4e place in the Champions League standings.
As a reminder, a Frenchman already serves as sporting director of a foreign team, in this case Florent Ghisolfi. He works at AS Roma, but it is rumored that his days in the Eternal City are now numbered.
