Pierre Sage, Lens's coach, has announced that he will leave the club after a historic season. Arrived a year ago, Sage allowed the Sang and Or to sign an exceptional season, with a superb second place behind Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, and their first Coupe de France title in the club's history. This campaign was marked by Lens's victory in the Coupe de France, their first title in the club's history. Pierre Sage was elected best coach of the season at the UNFP Awards. Without ever hiding his thoughts, Pierre Sage had distilled some clues over the past ten days. On RMC, the native of Lons-le-Saunier explained in the After that he had an offer that would make him think. But it seemed difficult to imagine, then, that the 47-year-old technician would take the step. The pill is hard to swallow for Lens fans. But in an era where coaches are always the first to be fired, the signal sent by Pierre Sage may perhaps be enough to modify the balance of power. Why can't coaches reason like their players?
