Olivier Pantaloni set to depart Lorient
A season that has far exceeded expectations could yet have a bitter ending for FC Lorient, according to a report from Ouest-France.
Olivier Pantaloni brought Lorient up from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1. The Breton club, alongside FC Metz, were favourites for an immediate return to the second division, however, with just six games remaining in the season, they currently sit ninth.
As the end of the season approaches, there is, however, uncertainty. Pantaloni’s deal at Lorient is up at the end of the season, and Ouest-France now report that there will be no renewal. The same applies to his assistant manager, Yannick Cahuzac. Les Merlus, therefore, will be in the market for a new manager over the summer.
L’Équipe have added that whilst it is likely that Pantaloni will leave, talks with the club are still ongoing. The chances of his departure, the publication adds, stand at “80%”. The reason for his impending departure is a “lack of clarity” regarding the project at the Breton club.
