The 2024-25 season will be one of all changes for these elite clubs.
After a season marked by the inconsistency of its big teams, the League 1 will return to service in a few weeks for a new exercise. But if the big cars of the French championship will be expected around the corner, some of them are heading into the unknown.
The situations of the two northern clubs, Lille and Lens, are of concern. LOSC is preparing to lose its coach, Paulo Fonseca, after two seasons considered particularly satisfactory. But the case of its Lensois neighbor is even more worrying with a total internal revolution, marked by the departures of Franck Haise and Arnaud Pouille. How will the Artesian club recover?
OM at the center of all attention
The coaches’ waltz will take place in the weeks to come. But it will also concern the strategic role of sports director. As for Stade Rennais, Florian Maurice will close a chapter, and the Breton club will have to rebuild to satisfy its ambitions with a new organization. Maurice is expected at OGC Nice to form a unique tandem with Franck Haise, in fact.
In this caste of important clubs, Olympique de Marseille obviously fuels all the debates. The Marseille club is looking for a coach capable of embodying its project to find a rank more in line with its aspirations. If OM missed the boat for European qualification, Stade Brestois will start the season with a first participation in the Champions League. With his coach Eric Roy, but without his historic sports director, Grégory Lorenzi. Finally, to a lesser degree, the cases of Stade de Reims and Le Havre are also vague, and closely linked, if we consider the interest of the Champagne club in Luka Elsner.
