It’s official. 16 to 17 people will lose their jobs at Stade Malherbe Caen. Two weeks ago, the labor department validated the job protection plan (PSE) put in place by the Norman club, reports ICI Normandie. A social plan which had been rejected twice before.
Last June, employees of the flagship Caen club were informed of the procedure in response to the sporting relegation of Stade Malherbe from Ligue 2 to the National, the third tier of French football. A painful episode already experienced by these same employees after the passage of the Malherbistes from the elite to the second division five years earlier.
“ This PSE will lead to the departure of 16 to 17 employees and mainly impacts the administrative, commercial and marketing staff of the Normandy football club. This is about reducing costs in a club that has gone from Ligue 1 to the third division in six years. Some missions will be taken over by temporary workers “, we can read in the aforementioned regional publication.
A very average start to the season
This PSE thus implies the departure of 16 to 17 employees, Stade Malherbe Caen now being limited to 68 employees in total. With new responsibilities and redefined positions for most of them. “ We are in a foundation phase », assured again this summer Fayza Lamari, the mother of Kylian Mbappé and president of the family holding company which owns the club.
Equipped with a significant budget this season for a National team (around 12 million euros), the Caennais have not been at ease since the start of the championship. Confined to 10e rank after 12 contested days, the Normans have only won three matches until then.
