Nicolas Seube has been named as the new manager for Ligue 2 side SM Caen. Seube is the player with the most appearances in the team’s history, playing 520 matches over 16 years between 2001 and 2017.
The appointment comes following the dismissal of Jean-Marc Furlan at the start of the month after not picking up a victory since August.
According to Ouest-France, the club initially approached former France U-21 manager Sylvain Ripoll, who is out of work since leaving Les Bleuets in the summer but have instead opted to promote Seube, who has been the manager of the reserve team since 2022, to the first team. Seube will manage a first time for the first time. Seube will also bring Emmanuel Lepresle, the long-standing physical trainer at the training ground. The new manager was unveiled to the press on Friday. Caen are currently 16th in the league and are without a league win since August 26th.
