Brest fears losing its coach Éric Roy

Éric Roy's future at Stade Brestois remains unclear. Under contract until June 2025, the Brest coach is having a remarkable season. Arriving in January 2023 after more than ten years of absence as coach, he immediately transformed the team, ensuring its maintenance from its first season (14th) and leading Brest to a brilliant 3rd place, synonymous with direct qualification for the Champions League. With impressive results, particularly in Europe (7 points after 3 days), the French technician is already attracting requests, according to L'Équipe. He would have rejected the proposals received, saying that he was focused on his mission with Brest. At 57 years old, and although he feels good at the club and appreciated by his players, he remains ambitious and aware that his chances of joining a more competitive club diminish over time. But despite this uncertainty, Éric Roy remains a respected figure in Brest, where he is nicknamed “King Éric” by supporters.
