Five consecutive defeats. Here is the sad assessment of Le Havre which lingers on the outskirts of the red zone at the 16thchampionship place. A catastrophic situation which continues to get worse with fourteen goals conceded and only one scored in the last five confrontations. Results which could be worth the ouster of Didier Digard, who only arrived this summer in Normandy to take over from Luka Elsner, who left for Reims. Who could be the five successors to Didier Digard in Le Havre?
Philippe Montanier
Dismissed from Toulouse after maintaining the club and allowing it to win the French Cup, Philippe Montanier is the only coach on this list to remain on a title. He even managed to win the Ligue 2 championship title the previous year and has still not found a club since. The opportunity therefore seems ideal to see him bounce back, he who has already succeeded in carrying out this maintenance mission which affects the oldest club this season.
Jocelyn Gourvennec
Jocelyn Gourvennec has been without a club since the end of his adventure at FC Nantes on March 17. A statement of failure for the Canaries with only fifteen matches played on the Nantes bench for ten defeats, four draws and one and only victory. Nevertheless, the Breton remains an experienced coach who has worked for Guingamp, Bordeaux and LOSC with numerous successes to his credit, winning a French Cup and a European career. Accustomed to second-rate clubs in difficulty, Jocelyn Gourvennec has already demonstrated that he is capable of keeping his teams afloat.
Jean-Louis Gasset
He also has a rather positive experience at Olympique de Marseille. Arriving as a firefighter on duty in the Marseille city as the third coach of the season in a tense climate, Jean-Louis Gasset managed to offer this team a European Cup semi-final. This savior mission could therefore suit him again to give Mathieu Bodmer time to find a longer-term coach at the end of the season. Gasset is also one of the most experienced coaches in France with successful experiences at ASSE or the Girondins de Bordeaux.
Habib Bey
The former player is still looking to take a step forward in his coaching career after leading Red Star to Ligue 2 and a National championship title. If he left the Ile-de-France team to aspire to a club of better standing, no offer arrived at his bedside. However, Habib Beye has made numerous attempts to land a position, preferably in Ligue 1. If he has not yet found anything, the time could have come at Le Havre in a team lacking direction with an ambitious project alongside Mathieu Bodmer.
Patrick Vieira
Today a consultant for DAZN, Patrick Vieira has been as free as the air since his departure from Strasbourg this summer. After a mixed season, the former Arsenal midfielder left to make way for Liam Rosenior, who is successful in Strasbourg for the moment. Having passed through New York City, Nice, Crystal Palace and even Strasbourg, the French glory is struggling to launch his coaching career in the best possible way, but a less ambitious project like that of Le Havre could allow him to build a game project with more of serenity.
Supporter of En Avant de Guingamp, the best of the Breton clubs, I prefer to meet Yannis Salibur, Cristophe Kerbrat or Jeremy Sorbon rather than Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Sergio Ramos.
