Éric Roy has had a significant impact at Brest since his arrival at the club in January 2023. He has transformed the team, taking it out of a struggle to maintain itself and leading it towards the Champions League, and it is well on its way to qualify for the next round of the competition.
Despite this rise to the top level, investment in the team has been limited. Roy therefore focused his efforts on optimizing the players already present, leading them to a new level. Hugo Magnetti is one of the most visible examples of the work carried out by Roy, embodying the principles of intensity and effort that the Brest coach puts so much forward.
“When he arrived, he told the players that they could do much better. They were aware of it,” declared Grégory Lorenzi, the sports director of The Ty-Zéfsin an exclusive interview for Get French Football News earlier this year. “We had a very difficult first half of the season before his arrival, and you are looking at the same players from the start of last season. Nearly 90% of the workforce is unchanged! This demonstrates that the quality was present, but Roy was able to establish a message which gave the players confidence, allowing them to express the extent of their potential on the pitch. […] now, on the pitch, you see players released, playing in a certain way that allows us to achieve excellent results,” he added. These words particularly apply to Magnetti.
Magnetti extends his contract
The midfielder is a holdover from Brest's Ligue 2 days. As the club has progressed, he has also evolved, becoming a leading figure in midfield. He provides the necessary effort without being flamboyant; If we had to name a “regular” player in Ligue 1, Magnetti would be the one, but he stays in sync with his teammates and makes few mistakes.
The year 2024 is looking very good for the Frenchman, who has secured a new contract running until 2027. It seems unlikely that he will leave the club anytime soon. Like many members of the workforce Pirateshe is not the profile that attracts particular attention, as the requests from Nantes showed this summer, but in the Brest squad he plays a crucial role, especially given the busy schedule of the season.
