They are also competing for the UNFP trophy for best coach of the season in L1, along with Luka Elsner (Le Havre), Paulo Fonseca (Lille) and Franck Haise (Lens), Luis Enrique (who has two matches remaining in Nice and against Metz) and Éric Roy are a close second at the top of the L’Équipe ratings ranking, with an average of 6.03 and 6 respectively.
But Lyon’s Pierre Sage, with 5.90 since he took office in December, could overtake everyone on the line. A 7 against Strasbourg, for example, would increase his average even more as he will have fewer marks (22 in the end) than his competitors and would take him to 5.95 whereas, with a 5 and a 4, Luis Enrique would drop… to 5.94. Éric Roy would obtain the same average of 5.94 with a 4/10 in Toulouse.
