End clap between Benoît Pedretti and Nancy. 17th and penultimate in the National after 13 days, the Lorraine club fired its 43-year-old coach after the poor results of the first team. His poor series, eight matches without a victory in the Championship, and the early elimination in the Coupe de France (in the 5th round against Thaon, a N3 team), were fatal to Pedretti.
Returning in January 2023 to the last club of his playing career after having been assistant (2018-2021) and interim (2021), the former French international (22 caps) will never have succeeded in turning around a team in distress for several seasons.
“AS Nancy Lorraine today initiated proceedings against its coach Benoît Pedretti. From this morning, training will be provided by his assistants,” the club commented on Wednesday in a laconic press release.
