The waltz of coaches continues in Ligue 2. After the announced departure of Laurent Battles to Saint-Étienne and the appointment of David Guion at Troyes, it is now Valenciennes who are bustling behind the scenes. The northern club has just announced the dismissal of its Portuguese coach Jorge Maciel. “The VAFC Board of Directors has decided to implement a procedure that could result in the termination of the employment contract of Jorge Maciel, coach of the professional team, and his deputies Leandro Morais and Joao Nuno Fonseca. All 3 of them are on temporary layoff,” we can read in the press release published by the VAFC this Wednesday.
Red lantern of Ligue 2 with already eight points behind the 15th and first non-relegation Concarneau, Valenciennes conceded its eighth of the season Tuesday on the pitch of Pau (1-3), in 17 days.
