After 9-1, he should resign, Dugarry denounces Lens leadership's leniency toward Cahuzac over friendship

Dugarry criticises Lens leadership for keeping Cahuzac after a 9-1 Champions League defeat, citing friendship with sporting director Leca as the reason for leniency.

Christophe Dugarry has launched a scathing attack on RC Lens's management, arguing that manager Yannick Cahuzac should have resigned following the club's humiliating 9-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League. Speaking on RMC's Rothen s'enflamme, Dugarry questioned why Cahuzac remains in post despite the catastrophic result, while predecessor Dino Toppmöller was sacked for a less severe record.

Dugarry pointed to the friendship between Cahuzac and sporting director Jean-Louis Leca as the root cause of the inconsistency. He accused the leadership of applying double standards and suggested the personal relationship is clouding their judgment. "After a 9-1, the manager should have resigned," Dugarry said. "If that's not proof of friendship or loyalty, I don't know what is."

The consultant warned that this dynamic risks damaging the club further, calling on Lens's board to maintain objectivity and separate personal relationships from sporting decisions.
