Certainly, Ligue 1 is losing momentum, particularly due to its lack of exposure linked to the TV rights crisis. However, the French championship always manages to attract renowned coaches.
At the start of last week, Stade Rennais formalized, for example, the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli on its sidelines, to replace Julien Stéphan. The Argentine technician, who won the Copa America with Chile in 2015, would be valued at five million euros on the transfer market according to the site
Sportune.
De Zerbi and Luis Enrique at the head of the gondola
Arriving at Olympique de Marseille last summer, from Brighton, Roberto De Zerbi is the L1 coach with the highest market value (17 million euros). The Italian is ahead of Luis Enrique (15 million). However, the fact that the Spaniard is coming to the end of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain next June justifies that he is not at the top of this ranking. As a reminder, its extension has still not been made official.
