While Will Still announced his departure at the end of the season, the
Racing Club of Lens did not waste time to find his new coach.
Except improbable reversal of the situation, it should be Pierre Sage. The newspaper L'Équipe indicates this Friday that the French technician reached an agreement with the management of the northern club for the basis of a contract.
Head on the North for Pierre Sage.
Pierre Sage had been free since his dismissal from Olympique Lyonnais six months ago. The former Gones coach was looking for an ambitious project that corresponded to his personal aspirations. An objective that the RC Lens could allow it to achieve.
A very nice blow for Lens
By attracting Pierre Sage, the Racing Club of Lens confirms its desire to build its strategy on the game. Renowned for its offensive tactical precepts, Sage has proven itself at OL, first by saving the club of the horrors of Ligue 2 last season, then bringing it back to altitudes in accordance with its status.
An assessment that had not been enough since John Textor took the opportunity to recruit Paulo Fonseca to replace him. This choice had been greatly disputed by Lyon supporters. Pedagogue and honest, Pierre Sage therefore has all the assets to seduce the blood and gold people.
