RC Lens dismisses manager Yannick Cahuzac

RC Lens has dismissed head coach Yannick Cahuzac following a period of severe poor performance. Cahuzac, who was appointed in September to replace Dino Toppmöller, left the club after only two months in charge.

The decision follows a series of heavy defeats, most notably a 9-1 loss to Como in the Champions League and a recent 1-2 home defeat against Marseille in Ligue 1. The club's president, Joseph Oughourlian, took responsibility for the recent failures, stating that the club, players, and management had all failed.

Lens is reportedly considering three candidates to succeed Cahuzac, with former manager Pierre Sage, currently at Crystal Palace, being a primary target for a potential return. This marks the third coaching change for the club within a single season.
