If he realized one of his biggest dreams by signing for Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé also launched a big project in French football. The 26-year-old striker has become the majority shareholder of SM Caen. But for several weeks, the Norman club has been in crisis. And the departure of Nicolas Seube did not help matters.
By signing at Real Madrid last summer, Kylian Mbappé realized one of his biggest dreams. But despite his departure from PSG, the 26-year-old striker remains involved in French football. The 2018 world champion has become a majority shareholder of SM Caen last September 9. But things are not going very well for the Norman club.
SM Caen fires Nicolas Seube
While the objective is to go back Ligue 1 as quickly as possible, the SM Caen is rather playing its role in maintaining Ligue 2. Defeated by Clermont this Friday (0-1), the Normans are only in 16th place. Management then made a radical decision last week: fire Nicolas Seube. Iconic player of SM Caen (2001-2017, 520 matches), the 45-year-old coach was dismissed and replaced by Bruno Baltazar.
Mbappé's club is sinking in the middle of a crisis
But as reported The Teamthe unease would be deeper in the locker room of the SM Caen. The last victory of the Normans dates back to November 2 (2-0 against Bastia). The club whose Kylian Mbappé is the owner is in crisis. And the departure of Nicolas Seube wouldn't have really helped matters. To see now if the SM Caen will be able to raise the bar in the second half of the season.
