The market is starting to clear for Lorient. While Will Still and Stéphane Gilli are heading to Auxerre and Angers, the Merlus are turning to other options. This is particularly the case for Wilfried Nancy, who has the advantage of being free since his early departure from Celtic Glasgow on January 5. Former CF Montréal coach and MLS champion with Colombus Crew in 2023, Nancy was accompanied by a certain reputation during his stay in the United States. His profile has therefore not escaped the American owners of FC Lorient, Black Knight Football Club, also involved in Bournemouth. Proof of their interest, Nancy has indeed exchanged with Laurent Koscielny, sporting director of the Merlus. The club from Morbihan also considers Patrick Videira, who has just lived two promotions in two years from National to Ligue 1. But Le Mans will not let go of a coach who is also being targeted by Lens and who still has a year left on his contract.
