Since his arrival in Brest in January 2023, Éric Roy has transformed the face of the Breton club. The former OGC Nice coach, who remained away from the benches for eleven years, was able to capitalize on this opportunity to become a key player in the success of Stade Brestois. His career in the city of Ponant, marked by a spectacular performance and a historic qualification in the Champions League, earned him the nickname “King Éric” in Finistère. But his future remains unclear: his current contract ends on June 30.
Eric Roy extended with a clause for abroad?
As the Team has explained in recent hours, if he appreciates his Brest environment, Roy also attracts attention abroad. Multilingual and with a wealth of experience, particularly in England and Spain, he could attract clubs beyond the French borders. However, Stade Brestois is already preparing its offensive: a two-year extension proposal should be made to it by the end of February, with a significant salary increase and the possibility of a release clause in the event of an irresistible foreign offer.
In this context, Brest demonstrates a strong desire: to ensure continuity with Roy to build on its recent successes, particularly with a view to the inauguration of the new Arkéa Park in 2027. This approach illustrates the growing ambition of the Pirates, ready to offer their coach a fulfilling environment and means to meet the challenges of the future.
