Philippe Montanier was sacked by RC Lens - F.Launay / 20 Minutes

Earthquake among the Sang et Or. RC Lens announced Tuesday noon that it was separating from Philippe Montanier. A sudden decision for a third Ligue 2 club and still largely in the race for the rise in the elite. But we have to believe that the northern leaders ended up losing patience after a difficult start to 2020.

With a single victory since January and two last unexpected losses at Châteauroux (3-2) and Saturday at home against Caen (1-4), Racing lost its superb. To the point of panicking and pressing the stop button with a coach who arrived in June 2018. Challenged by locker room executives, Montanier no longer had the confidence of his group.

Franck Haise succeeds him on the bench

However, his dismissal like that of his assistant Michael Debève and his physical trainer, Stéphane Wiertelak, calls out while the club is still largely in the race to reach its ambitions. To replace him, the northern leaders have bet on Franck Haise, the current reserve coach. It is up to him to lead the Sang et Or in Ligue 1. Unless a new twist occurs. Lens is no longer a surprise now.
