Unsurprisingly, Dimitri Liénard leaves RC Strasbourg. At the end of his contract after 10 years of good and loyal service, the 35-year-old had no illusions in recent days… However, it didn’t take long to find a buyer. The native of Belfort is indeed committed in favor of Bastia, resident of Ligue 2. Two-year contract, with an option for a third season.
The Alsatian club welcomed the passage of Liénard, who arrived at the club in 2013, in National 1, and winner of the 2019 League Cup. “After the match against Paris (last match of the season at La Meinau, editor’s note) and this Emotionally charged moment, I received him with Loïc Désiré and Kader Mangane and we offered him a retraining, either immediately if he decided to stop playing, or later, when he chooses to put an end to his career, says Marc Keller. Those who have given so much, like him, have our full consideration and we will welcome him again very soon with open arms. He will then be able to spend time in different areas of activity of the club, such as training, recruitment, sports coordination, sales, marketing, to decide on the path in which he will continue his professional life at Racing. Trained at Sochaux then passed through Belfort and Mulhouse, Liénard played 327 matches with Strasbourg (33 goals).
