Faced with the critical situation in the ranking, FC Metz chose an electric shock. The Ligue 1 bottom team parted ways with Stephane Le Mignan and promoted Benoît Tavenot, who is returning to the club.
This mid-week, theOL doesn’t really have the head for Ligue 1. Paulo’s players Fonseca are more in Europe mode, they who will reach Berne at the end of the day and who will face the Young Boys Thursday evening (6:45 p.m.). However, the Lyon coach will inevitably be aware that his future opponent in the championship has chosen an electroshock. Stuck in last place in Ligue 1, the FC Metz made the decision to separate from Stéphane Le Mignan who had been officiating for two seasons in Lorraine.
A coach last in Ligue 2 in October and fired
Defeat in the derby against Strasbourg was one too many for Bernard Serin, who therefore decided to dismiss his coach, six months before the end of his contract. To replace him on the bench as soon as OL come this Sunday (5:15 p.m.), the Metz president called on Benoit Tavenot. The latter does not arrive in unknown lands, since he had been Frédéric’s deputy Antonetti for three years in Metz, from 2019 to 2022. This season, he was stationed at Bastia in Ligue 2, before being dismissed last October, the Corsican club being last in the championship… So, will the change of coach have a positive effect on the FC Metz players when they host OL?
