Lens sack Yannick Cahuzac two months after his appointment
Three straight defeats, including a 9-1 thrashing by Como, and Pierre Sage is named as a possible successor while he nears the sack at Crystal Palace.
Lens have sacked Yannick Cahuzac this Tuesday, according to RMC Sport, which confirms the report from L'Equipe. The coach had been in charge for just two months, after replacing German Dino Toppmoller, and did not survive the nightmare week his team went through.
Three defeats sealed his fate: a 1-0 loss to Lille in the derby, a 9-1 humiliation against Como in the Champions League, the worst result ever for a French club in European competition, and a 2-1 defeat to Marseille in Ligue 1.
To replace him, Pierre Sage is the name being mentioned. He left Lens in the summer and could soon be dismissed by Crystal Palace. Two other names are on the club's list, but they have not leaked yet.
