The last of Ligue 1 wants to try a new formula to revive.

Brest will separate from its coach, Michel Der Zakarian, the day after the defeat against neighboring Lorient (1-2), according to information from the newspapers

L'Equipe

and

Ouest-France

.

The sports daily and the regional newspaper specify that an exit solution must still be found between the Breton club and the 59-year-old technician who has twenty months of contract left.

Brest have won only one game this season in Angers (3-1), on the third day of Ligue 1, August 21.

Since then, the club has had a series of disappointments, especially at home, where Montpellier humiliated them 7-0 on the fourth day, each time weakening their coach a little more.

Fatalistic "Der Zak"

After the setback against Lorient on Sunday, Der Zakarian, without abdicating, wanted to be fatalistic.

“When we lose, we are always threatened.

Management decides, they are the bosses.

I try to do my job as best as possible.

If they are not happy with me, we change.

This is the life of coaches.

But I haven't been notified of anything today (Sunday).

Maybe tomorrow there will be something, I don't know” predicted “Der Zak”.

Arrived from Montpellier in June 2021, Der Zakarian, despite a fledgling start, had nevertheless succeeded in April to keep Brest in Ligue 1, the club's stated objective.

This maintenance had automatically extended his contract until June 2024. What the Brest leaders are now trying to undo.
