Pierre Sage is now on the market following his departure from Crystal Palace, however, the former Olympique Lyonnais manager isn’t the only one to be linked with the vacancy at RC Lens.
Les Sang et Or are drawing up a shortlist to replace Yannick Cahuzac, who lasted just nine games in the job. His predecessor, Dino Toppmoller, lasted just six games, and so the Ligue 1 club are now looking for stability.
Lens are looking to hire a manager who is not currently in a post, in order to avoid paying compensation. That opens up the possiblity of Sage’s return. Didier Digard, formerly of Le Havre AC, and former Juventus manager Thiago Motta also feature on the club’s shortlist.
Another name has now emerged, according to Mohamed Toubache-Ter, that of Rudi Garcia. The Frenchman is currently out of work since leaving the Belgium National Team upon the conclusion of last summer’s FIFA World Cup.
