Luc Holtz set to depart FC Metz after short tenure
Summary

Luc Holtz is reportedly on the verge of being sacked by FC Metz, just months after joining the club this summer. Holtz was appointed following the team's relegation to Ligue 2, with the goal of securing promotion back to Ligue 1. Currently, Metz sits fifth in the league, trailing leaders AS Saint-Étienne by six points as the international break approaches. Despite Holtz having a contract until 2028, discussions are underway to terminate it, with Grégory Proment emerging as a potential replacement.
