Change of coach but no change of course for SM Caen this Friday evening, on the occasion of the resumption of Ligue 2.
At home, despite the support of their ever-numerous public, the Normans lost at D'Ornano against Clermont. A 1-0 defeat which unfortunately continues the black series. And only the similar poor form of AC Ajaccio prevents Malherbe from finding itself in one of the last two places. But the discontent is there, and we didn't even have to wait for this new defeat at home. The dismissal of Nicolas Seube, both the decision itself and the way it was taken, was not appreciated by Caen supporters. They sent wood through several banners targeting the owners of the club, and of course Kylian Mbappé who bought the SMC during the summer.
« Before wanting to shine internationally, respect local figures”, “Here, only work and loyalty are legends”, “Mbappé, the SMC is not your toy », were deployed in the Borelli stand, while the stadium sang a song in praise of Nicolas Seube. Complicated beginnings for new coach Bruno Baltazar, both in terms of the reception given and in terms of the result of this Friday evening's match.
