FC Lorient give the job to Interim Coach

The club looked outside for a month, found nothing it preferred, and handed the job to the man who had been doing it anyway. He knows the building; now he has to prove he knows the rest.

Bamba Dieng runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad17 Sep 2029

Tempers go at FC Lorient

Bamba Dieng was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad17 Sep 2029

Ilias Koutsoupias falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match15 Sep 2029

Stade Rennais take the points off FC Lorient

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad17 Sep 2029

The manager has not finished forgetting Montassar Talbi's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

A smaller club would suit Yvon Mvogo now

He has had enough of the noise. Whether FC Lorient can be a quieter place for him, or whether the only cure is a move somewhere the phone-ins are gentler, is a question for the next few months.

Noam Obougou Jacquet linked with a move away

The name of Noam Obougou Jacquet keeps appearing in other people's back pages. FC Lorient say nothing, which says plenty.

Frédéric Morel leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Frédéric Morel leaves FC Lorient the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Match19 Aug 2028

11 matches without a win for FC Lorient

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around FC Lorient are no longer polite ones.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Noam Obougou Jacquet is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad21 Aug 2028

A late step up for Montassar Talbi

At 30 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Boardroom21 Aug 2028

Graduation day at FC Lorient

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match19 Aug 2028

Jean-Victor Makengo’s goal not enough for FC Lorient

Jean-Victor Makengo scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to LOSC Lille, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad21 Aug 2028

No hiding place for Yvon Mvogo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Yvon Mvogo, and the manager let it.

Richard Boyer steps up from the FC Lorient academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Richard Boyer has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
