Bad start in this 2024-2025 season Ligue 2the SM Caen made up for it in recent days with two consecutive victories then a very narrow defeat in Metz in a match which could have gone one way or the other. But despite these good recent performances, the Calvados team only has 14 points after 13 days of the championship and is therefore in 14th place, tied with 16th (play-off for maintenance) and 17th (relegated). Despite this complicated situation and the difficult weeks he experienced professionally and personally at Real Madrid, the majority investor Kylian Mbappé despite everything, keeps a very close eye on what Alexandre Mendy's teammates are doing.

Indeed, the Technical Director arrived this summer at the club Gérard Prêcheur told France Bleu Normandie that he sometimes spoke with the striker who was not called up for the second time in a row for the French team. According to him, the player – who is often kept in Spain by his obligations – did not invest in Malherbe so as not to be interested in it later and simply let the club be managed by an acquaintance.
« I spoke to him on the phone at the beginning and now it's a slightly more delicate period. His arrival in Madrid is not that simple. It's been a while since I've had him live but we plan to get back in touch in the coming days. His great desire is to come to Ornano to see SM Caen. I know that today his coming to Caen is not that simple, with regard to the leaders of Real Madrid. In any case, it is his will. Know that he watches all the professional matches, that's for sure. We were even able to discuss it at the restart but I am convinced that as soon as he has the opportunity, he will come. »
Stade Malherbe, soon an institution of excellence?
“I could summarize my mission at the club by saying that, when Stade Malherbe Caen reaches Ligue 1, it will never go down. This means that he needs structures, that he needs to raise the bar in many areas. I had the opportunity to evolve professionally in major institutions: fourteen years thanks to Aimé Jacquet, at the National Technical Directorate where I rubbed shoulders with great coaches also with this search for excellence, in major clubs, at Olympique Lyonnais and PSG. The mission is, with all the high-level components that I have had the opportunity to know and understand, to be able to bring Stade Malherbe Caen closer to the best and therefore to excellence. »
