«No hay rencor ni enfado»: el director deportivo del Lens reacciona ante el fichaje de Pierre Sage por el Crystal Palace
A pesar de haber llevado al RC Lens al segundo puesto de la Ligue 1 y de haber ganado la Copa de Francia, Pierre Sage no estará en el banquillo del Stade Bollaert cuando el club se prepare para recibir a la Liga de Campeones de la UEFA...
Despite leading RC Lens to a second-place finish in Ligue 1 and winning the Coupe de France, Pierre Sage will not be on the touchline at the Stade Bollaert as the club prepare to host UEFA Champions League football.
Instead, he will be at Selhurst Park. It was confirmed on Monday that Sage is the new Crystal Palace manager. He left Lens after just one season – a highly successful season – but despite the surprising turn of events, the Ligue 1 club’s sporting director, Benjamin Parrot, said that there was “no acrimony, no anger” towards the new Crystal Palace manager.
He added, “Our daily life is about managing offers, managing potential departures, potential arrivals. Before in football, that only concerned players but in the world of modern football, that also includes managers.”
Parrot said that there were also no “regrets” that more of a financial effort was not made to retain Sage. “We wish him the best. We won’t forget what he achieved. We will still be positive about this magnificent season and now it’s time for what comes next,” added Lens’ sporting director.
What comes next for Les Sang et Or is Dino Toppmoller. The German, the former manager of Eintracht Frankfurt, has been brought in to replace Sage and lead the club ahead of their European campaign next season.
