Eight months after buying the SM Caen, an emblematic club of French football mired in Ligue 2, Kylian Mbappé and his relatives must already change everything. The Norman training lived an absolutely nightmarish season, chaining the bad results from start to finish, and was relegated to National from April 18, three days from the end of the championship (after a defeat against Martigues, 3-0).
SMC supporters have enough to enrage against the mbappé family mbuppé at the head of the club. Fayza Lamari, the mother of the captain of the French team, appointed a president in Caen (Ziad Hammoud) to the absent subscribers at the start of the season (because taking care of the “Kyks” affairs in Madrid). Then the choice to entrust the reins of the team to Bruno Baltazar, a completely unknown Portuguese coach, who came out of experiences in the United States, Bulgaria and Poland, plunged the club during the winter.
It was already too late for Alexandre Mendy and his teammates on February 18 when Michel Der Zakarian was appointed coach. A victory 10 days later in Clermont (0-1) gave a tiny hope to the Caennais, before an inevitable descending to hell (and a descent to the hexagonal third division).
Mbappé in search of a new coach
At 62, Michel Der Zakarian confirmed that he will not direct the SM Caen in National. “I discussed with management. I am very happy to have come here, to have tried to put everything in place to succeed. But we did not succeed. I'm sorry for the club and the public. I could have been tempted to continue, but in Ligue 2 because in national, it is complicated ”he says to
Ouest-Franceby dismissing any idea of early retirement.
Fayza Lamari recently explained that she was looking for a coach who knows the National, “Because even once, it's a different football”. The Mbappé project has changed. It is now for the SM Caen to “Reinventing yourself, like a Strasbourg, a club like Lens, a club like Bordeaux which is in N2 and which has its almost full stadium”as recently launched by the mother of the star of French football and Real Madrid to here Normandy. Good luck.
