Alexandre Dujeux emerges as top candidate for Lorient managerial position
Summary

Former SCO Angers manager Alexandre Dujeux is reportedly the leading candidate to fill the managerial vacancy at FC Lorient following Olivier Pantaloni's departure. Dujeux left Angers earlier this week, where he had success in securing promotion to Ligue 1 and maintaining the club’s top-flight status. His candidacy at Lorient follows the club's initial interest in Will Still, who is now set to manage AJ Auxerre. Dujeux's experience and success at Angers position him well for the role at Lorient, as they search for a suitable replacement.
