Head coach Yannick Cahuzac has been dismissed at French representative Lens, who were beaten 9-1 by Como in the UEFA Champions League.
Yannick Cahuzac, who was appointed in September to replace Dino Toppmöller, lasted about two months in his spell with French Ligue 1 side Lens.
CAHUCAZ AND THE CLUB PART WAYS
Although the French coach got off to a good start to the season with wins over Lyon and Troyes, he could not prevent a decline in performance, and his ties with the club were completely severed.
THE 9-1 DEFEAT WAS THE LAST STRAW
The pressure on Cahuzac reached its peak, especially after the historic 9-1 humiliation at home to Italian side Como in the Champions League. Immediately after that match, their 2-1 home defeat to Marseille in the league accelerated the management's decision-making process. The board, which met on Monday evening, decided to part ways with the young coach, and the manager was bid farewell.
4 DEFEATS IN THE LAST 5 MATCHES
The French club has lost 4 of its last 5 official matches.
Here are those matches:
- Club Brugge 3-0 Lens (Champions League)
- Lille 1-0 Lens (Ligue 1)
- Lens 1-9 Como (Champions League)
- Lens 1-2 Marseille (Ligue 1)
