French football club Lens have officially announced the dismissal of head coach Yannick Cahuzac following a disappointing run of results.
As reported by İdman.Biz, the 41-year-old Frenchman has been relieved of his duties after just nine matches in charge of the team.
Under Cahuzac's management, Lens recorded three victories and six defeats across all competitions. He was appointed in September following the dismissal of his predecessor, Dino Toppmöller, who reportedly left the club due to disagreements with management over organizational matters.
The most damaging result of Cahuzac's brief tenure came on November 4, when Lens suffered a humiliating 9-1 home defeat against Italian side Como in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League league phase.
The result marked the heaviest home defeat in the history of the competition, adding further pressure on the French coach.
Lens have also struggled domestically this season. After ten rounds of Ligue 1, the club sit 11th in the standings with 13 points, well below the positions traditionally associated with qualification for European competitions.
The dismissal comes as Lens seek to stabilize their performances both domestically and in Europe. The club have yet to announce who will replace Cahuzac as head coach.
