Patrice Garande skeptical about the choice of the new coach in Caen – France – SM Caen

In the meantime, Patrice Garande is warning the wolf!

At Stade Malherbe, we love to be daring. Last poker move: release Nicolas Seube, local legend, to install Bruno Baltazar on the bench. A Portuguese coach with a Eurovision-style CV (Portugal, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, etc.). The whole thing made Patrice Garande jump, former conductor of the Malherbistes between 2012 and 2018 converted into a tackler on X.

Nicolas Seube, that's 520 matches in the red and blue jersey between 2001 and 2017. A survivor of Ligue 2, the Norman storms and even the end of the world in 2012. But obviously, that's not enough to convince when we points to a gloomy 16^e place in Ligue 2. To replace this institution? Bruno Baltazar. A name that sounds more Norman than Portuguese, but a 100% Lusitanian coach. Over the last 12 years, he has done speed dating with his clubs, remaining on average six months in post. Last stop: Radomiak, 15^e of the Polish first division, where he averaged 1.2 points per game.

Majority shareholder since July, Kylian Mbappé arrived with a project to make Caen a stronghold of French football. Five months later, after 15 days of Ligue 2, the club is in a barrier position (for the descent, not for the ascent). Not exactly what you'd call a plan that goes off without a hitch.

There is always Gaspard and Melchior if necessary.
