After just 58 days: Baidoo's club sacks next manager
The French runners-up make their second managerial change of the current season.
Austrian international Samson Baidoo is set to work under his third manager of the season at French top-flight side RC Lens.
As the league runners-up announced on Thursday, head coach Yannick Cahuzac has been relieved of his duties after just 58 days. He only succeeded former Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmöller—who was also dismissed prematurely—in mid-September and was on the touchline for just eight matches.
Under Cahuzac, Lens recently suffered three consecutive defeats, including a humiliating 9-1 thrashing against Como 1907 in the UEFA Champions League. In Ligue 1, the club currently sits in just eleventh place.
Former manager poised for return?
Rumored to succeed the 41-year-old Cahuzac is none other than former coach Pierre Sage—the 47-year-old was sacked by Crystal Palace on Thursday (More info>>>), where he had taken over from Oliver Glasner.
Sage managed Lens from January 2025 until the end of last season before joining the "Eagles" following a cup triumph and a runner-up league finish.
